Abstract Insects sustain key ecosystem functions, but how their activity varies across the day–night cycle and underlying drivers are poorly understood. Although entomologists generally expect that more insects active at night, this notion has not been tested with empirical data global scale. Here, we assemble 331 quantitative comparisons of abundances between day night periods from 78 studies worldwide use multi-level meta-analytical models to show insect is on average 31.4% (CI: −6.3%–84.3%) higher than in day. We reveal diel preferences major taxa, observe nocturnal aquatic taxa terrestrial ones, as well warmer environments. In a separate analysis small subset quantifying patterns taxonomic richness (31 13 studies), detect preliminary evidence tropical temperate communities. The overall (but variable) communities underscores need address threats such light pollution climate warming may disproportionately impact insects.

Abstract Urban phenotypic divergences are documented across diverse taxa and commonly assumed to result from microevolution, but the underlying genetic environmental drivers behind these changes unknown in most wild urban systems. We censused common garden studies literature ( N = 77) a range of taxa. Collectively, showed that both plastic responses can contribute divergences, while revealing lack with vertebrates. conducted our own experiment using great tit Parus major ) eggs collected along an urbanization gradient Montpellier, France to: 1) determine whether morphological, physiological, behavioural shifts tits maintained birds forest origins reared 73) 2) evaluate how different sources genetic, early maternal investment, later variation contributed trait experiment. In line divergence wild, had faster breath rates (i.e., higher stress response) were smaller than origins, suggesting differentiation has driven differences. Conversely, differences aggression exploration not garden, indicating plasticity conditions likely drives shifts. Differences between individuals (genetic environmentally induced) explained experiment, among foster nests captive social groups was limited. Among-individual size response similar contexts, whereas among-individual lower wild. Our results provide trait-specific evidence evolution species where change underlies morphology physiology, by plasticity.
