Essex的野生动物爱好者Daniel Blyton在6月首次在英国发现Fagocyba alnisuga, Daniel Blyton, a wildlife enthusiast from Essex, has identified Fagocyba alnisuga, a new leafhopper species, in the UK for the first time, discovering it in his garden moth trap in June. 包括埃塞克斯大学的汤姆·卡梅伦教授在内的专家证实了这一发现,这是该国首次记录到该物种的出现,也是可能受气候变化驱动的昆虫分布变化大趋势的一部分。 The find, confirmed by experts including Professor Tom Cameron of Essex University, marks the first recorded occurrence of the species in the country and is part of a broader trend of insect range shifts likely driven by climate change. Blyton是业余昆虫学家,有7年的经验,他也发现了埃塞克斯岛新的其他几种叶片物种。 Blyton, an amateur entomologist with seven years of experience, also identified several other leafhopper species new to Essex. 科学家指出,虽然这些变化可以加强生物多样性,但也可能引入农业病虫害或病媒。 Scientists note that while such changes can enhance biodiversity, they may also introduce agricultural pests or disease vectors. 这一发现突显了公民科学家在监测生态变化和为国家野生动物数据作出贡献方面的关键作用。 The discovery highlights the critical role of citizen scientists in monitoring ecological shifts and contributing to national wildlife data.
