Linear models gave stronger same-night wind links to moth catch in four UK samples in 1993-2015

We tested whether wind had a more negative link to recorded moth catch on the trap night than seven days before or after. Four linear models used 28,486 nights at seven English and two Scottish sites in 1993-2003 and 2004-2015. They controlled trap weeks, temperature at three dates and other current weather. Trap-night minus mean displaced wind slopes were -0.2800, -0.2710, -0.0569 and -0.0648 log expected catch per m/s. All four corrected intervals excluded zero. Curved wind models kept negative contrasts in England but gave uncertain contrasts in Scotland. Removing Glensaugh reversed the later Scottish point estimate. Source-quality exclusions kept all four linear results. Missing zero catches in later records, selected sites and few year clusters limit inference. The result supports a short time scale for the English wind-catch link. It cannot separate flight activity, capture, rapid biological change and record selection. It is not a causal climate or population effect. Code, aggregate evidence, input hashes and a tested reproduction route are included. External record tables stay outside the bundle.
