Insects and Society

par Timothy D. Schowalter ...

Insects are all around us, outweighing humanity by 17 times. Many are nuisances; they compete with us for food and carry some of our most devastating diseases. Yet, recent reports suggest dramatic declines in some important groups, such as pollinators and detritivores. Should we care?Yes, we should. Without insect pollinators, we’d lose 35% of our global food production; without detritivores, we ... En savoir plus
