Does #agroecology deliver the benefits we anticipate for #biodiversity and climate? An intensive review finds 123 papers, (quite biased across Europe) indicates positive effects for most farming systems. Quite surprisingly, the positive effect was not dependent on the level of transition.

📄Out now 📄: 90-year trends in Switzerland show declines in butterfly and saproxylic beetle richness around the mid-20th century, linked to agricultural mechanisation. Some groups have recovered in recent decades, especially warm-adapted species. Specialised and cold-adapted species remained low.🦋🪲
A combined figure with figure panels from the publication. One panel (panel a) showing the trends in Switzerland-wide relative richness of butterflies and saproxylic beetles, with clear declines of butterflies until the 1980s and declines followed by increases for the saproxylic beetles. The other panel (panel b) shows trends of relative species richness for the two insect groups divided by different traits. In the upper part of the figure, groups are built based on the habitat specialisation of the species and it is evident in both groups, that habitat specialists declined strongest. In the lower part of the figure, groups are built based on temperature niche of the species and it is evident that while warm-adapted species have declined strongest until the 1980s, they have clearly reversed their trends and are now increasing strongly.A photo of Lycaena virgaureae, a species with specialised food resources that has mostly disappeared from the Swiss lowlands in the last 90 yearsA photo of Aromia moschata, a longhorn beetle that has become rare in the mid 20th century, but which has increased in recent decades
