Is there an insect signal for the "Little Ice Age"?

The downturn in temperature in the late medieval period is likely to have h ad significant impact upon insect distribution. Despite the amount of study fossil insect faunas have been afforded, there is presently little convinc ing evidence of climatic, rather than human impact upon faunas during the " Little Ice Age". This probably reflects as much the paucity of suitable sit es, as the overarching scale of habitat destruction by Man.
