Methods

A light bucket trap that included a 22 W ultraviolet light with a 12 V battery (BioQuip Co., USA) was used to collect insects at each survey site (Ricketts et al., 2002) (Figure 3). Moths were collected once a month from May to October each year during the period of 20052017. To reduce inter-site variations caused by weather or moonlight on moth catches in each trap, we sampled macromoths simultaneously at each of the six sites. Moth sampling was conducted from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. local time. The moth samples were kept in a plastic container and transferred to the laboratory of Mokpo National University, where moth identification was made. Moth identification and taxonomy referred to Kim et al. (2001), Kononenko et al. (1998), Shin (2001), Kishida (2011) and Hirowatari et al. (2013). https://db.cger.nies.go.jp/JaLTER/ER_DataPapers/archives/2019/ERDP-2019-02/metadata
