Influence of land use change on rove beetle diversity: A systematic review and global meta-analysis of a mega-diverse insect group

The global decline in insect diversity is worrisome and little is known about insects’ response to land use change. Rove beetles (Staphylinidae) are megadiverse and a key component in ecosystem functioning as generalist predators in forest habitats and agroecosystems. These beetles are sensitive to...
