Managing ecosystems for insect biodiversity

 There is mounting evidence that insects are in decline in some parts of the world, with consequences for myriad ecosystem processes that they support. In this talk, Ed will discuss some of the work the Insect Ecology Group has been involved with to catalogue and assess drivers behind insect declines, and to implement and test strategies to make human-modified systems more favourable for insects.
