Yes, I worry a lot about this.

@MorpheusB @jhaue I’ve been doing regular long drives from Sydney down to the South Coast, Canberra and Melbourne for years — and I’ve never seen my car stay so clean. A decade ago, it would be splattered with insects. Now? Practically nothing. A disturbing contrast.

Today I learned that "imaginal disc" [1] is called "imaginal" because that's the adjective form of "imago" [2], the adult insect form.

It's my 14 year blogiversary, thanks everyone for reading! Blogging has been so rewarding, it's kept me sane through #academia ups & downs. My windscreen phenomenon posts (on why windscreen anecdotes are not evidence of #insectdecline) still some of the most read https://ecologyisnotadirtyword.com/2021/06/24/what-the-windscreen-anecdote-tells-us-about-science/

🚨 Paper published! 🚨

Our story on joint interaction disinvestment of #plant-#pollinator systems in response to #InsectDecline was accepted at Evolutionary Ecology and is now available online:

I hope you enjoy reading it!

Should you use the term "#insectdecline" in your paper title/abstract/media coverage etc.? Here are some guidelines we published a few years ago that may be useful https://resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/icad.12406

A disturbing new study documents a >50% decline in bee and butterfly populations over 15 years in a remote, relatively wild area of northern Georgia (USA). This suggests something other than habitat loss is behind the collapse.
