The Effect of Habitat on Insect Movements: Experimental Evidence from Wild-Caught Butterflies

The Effect of Habitat on Insect Movements: Experimental Evidence from Wild-Caught Butterflies

There is broad evidence that the main driver of the ongoing biodiversity crisis is land-use change, which reduces and fragments habitats.
