- Title
THE CASE OF THE MISSING LUNAR THORNS - A TWENTYYEAR STUDY OF ALTITUDINAL CHANGE AMONGST YORKSHIRE'S MOTHS.
- Authors
FLETCHER, CHARLES H.
- Abstract
Lunar Thorn Selenia lunularia (Hübner, 1788) has undergone an upwards shift in altitude in the north-east English county of Yorkshire and is now rarely found on the lower ground. The rate of shift can be calculated over a twenty-year period and can be compared with similar species which appear to have become scarcer in lowland areas. Climatic change is probably the main driver for change though other factors such as land use may play a part.
