Description: The relationship between regional distribution and local abundance of British noctuid moths was studied using literature data. Distribution and abundance were strongly positively correlated at the scale of the UK, but at a smaller spatial scale no relationship was detected. Body size correlated negatively with abundance, while body size and regional distribution were weakly positively correlated. Food and habitat generalists were on average more abundant and more widely distributed than specialist species. Polyphages were larger in body size than oligophages/monophages. Regional distribution and potential population growth rate of the species were positively correlated. These results are in agreement with Brown's (1984) hypothesis that ecological generalists are both widely distributed and locally abundant.
