Abstract

Global change effects will adversely affect insect habitat availability and contribute to the declines of insect diversity. This will have trickle down effects on the ecosystems services they provide. Decision makers can increasingly use the vast amounts of Earth Observation (EO) information to assess and monitor insect-based biodiversity. Moreover, the spatial and temporal metrics from EO can be effectively used to discern areas that are suitable for insects. Coupled with land use or other information on human impacts, the conservation status of specific species can be effectively estimated over wider areas. This is important information towards addressing several of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. This chapter synergises recent insect-related publications that use EO for habitat suitability mapping. The publication survey shows the information depth gained when using multi-sensor fusion and various data dimensions. A conceptual framework is derived that illustrates how various EO-based biodiversity status indicators can be computed that best fit the insect habitat demands. How EO-information can be effectively used to monitor insect diversity and the conservation status of their habitats on a landscape scale is illustrated. How EO-predicted fragmentation can be useful for assessing bee colony strength is explore.
