Substantial urbanization-driven declines of larval and adult moths in a subtropical environment

M. W. Belitz, A. Sawyer, L. K. Hendrick, A. Y. Kawahara, R. P. Guralnick

This study examines how urbanization affects moth populations in subtropical environments, finding declines in caterpillar biomass and adult abundance, reduced species richness, and trait-based differences in species responses.
