Protected areas and the future of insect conservation

During the revision process, updates to the caption to figure 1 were inadvertently missed. The updated caption should read: Figure 1. The (A) geographic, (B) taxonomic, and (C) thematic distribution of 1590 studies of insects in protected areas (PAs) retrieved in a systematic literature search. Methods are presented in the supplemental information online. There is also a typo in the colour legend on the right-hand side of Figure 2B . It should be 10 rather than 0. The figure with corrected legend is shown below. The authors apologise for any confusion caused by these oversights. Protected areas and the future of insect conservationChowdhury et al.Trends in Ecology & EvolutionOctober 5, 2022In BriefAnthropogenic pressures are driving insect declines across the world. Although protected areas (PAs) play a prominent role in safeguarding many vertebrate species from human-induced threats, insects are not widely considered when designing PA systems or building strategies for PA management. We review the effectiveness of PAs for insect conservation and find substantial taxonomic and geographic gaps in knowledge. Most research focuses on the representation of species, and few studies assess threats to insects or the role that effective PA management can play in insect conservation. Full-Text PDF Open Access
