Guidelines for Standardised Global Butterfly Monitoring

Monitoring butterflies is one of the oldest examples of citizen science. The success of Butterfly Monitoring Schemes (BMS’s) is due to many factors, not least that the techniques are easy to learn and the field work fun to do. The results of such schemes have proven invaluable in providing robust...

short_description	This publication presents guidelines to support the development of butterfly monitoring at local, national, regional, and global levels. Set out within this document are a suite of standard field protocols that can measure butterfly population change over various spatial and temporal scales, and that can be applied in any part of the world.
