Pollination by nocturnal L epidoptera, and the effects of light pollution: a review

CJ MacGregor, MJO Pocock, R Fox… - Ecological …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
1. Moths ( L epidoptera) are the major nocturnal pollinators of flowers. However, their
importance and contribution to the provision of pollination ecosystem services may have been …

The dark side of street lighting: impacts on moths and evidence for the disruption of nocturnal pollen transport

CJ Macgregor, DM Evans, R Fox… - Global Change …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Among drivers of environmental change, artificial light at night is relatively poorly understood,
yet is increasing on a global scale. The community‐level effects of existing street lights on …

[HTML][HTML] Climate-induced phenology shifts linked to range expansions in species with multiple reproductive cycles per year

CJ Macgregor, CD Thomas, DB Roy… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Advances in phenology (the annual timing of species’ life-cycles) in response to climate
change are generally viewed as bioindicators of climate change, but have not been considered …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of pond water as a tool to survey conservation and management priority mammals

…, AI Carpenter, M Ghazali, C Di Muri, CJ Macgregor… - Biological …, 2019 - Elsevier
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can identify terrestrial taxa utilising aquatic habitats
alongside aquatic communities, but terrestrial species' eDNA dynamics are understudied…

Construction, validation, and application of nocturnal pollen transport networks in an agro‐ecosystem: a comparison using light microscopy and DNA metabarcoding

CJ Macgregor, JJN Kitson, R Fox, C Hahn… - Ecological …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
1. Moths are globally relevant as pollinators but nocturnal pollination remains poorly understood.
Plant–pollinator interaction networks are traditionally constructed using either flower‐…

Nocturnal pollination: an overlooked ecosystem service vulnerable to environmental change

CJ Macgregor, AS Scott-Brown - Emerging Topics in Life …, 2020 - portlandpress.com
Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to
diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees. …

Effects of street lighting technologies on the success and quality of pollination in a nocturnally pollinated plant

CJ Macgregor, MJO Pocock, R Fox, DM Evans - Ecosphere, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly important driver of global change. Lighting
directly affects plants, but few studies have investigated indirect effects mediated by …

Brownfield sites promote biodiversity at a landscape scale

CJ Macgregor, MJ Bunting, P Deutz, NAD Bourn… - Science of the Total …, 2022 - Elsevier
Repurposing of brownfield sites is often promoted, because it is perceived that protecting the
“green belt” limits damage to biodiversity; yet brownfield sites provide scarce habitats with …

Moth biomass has fluctuated over 50 years in Britain but lacks a clear trend

CJ Macgregor, JH Williams, JR Bell… - Nature Ecology & …, 2019 - nature.com
Steep insect biomass declines ('insectageddon') have been widely reported, despite a lack
of continuously collected biomass data from replicated long-term monitoring sites. Such …

Wildfire alters the structure and seasonal dynamics of nocturnal pollen‐transport networks

P Banza, CJ Macgregor, ADF Belo, R Fox… - Functional …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Wildfires drive global biodiversity patterns and affect plant–pollinator interactions, and are
expected to become more frequent and severe under climate change. Post‐fire plant …
