Destabilising #ecosystems:
Trends in 923 terrestrial #insect assemblages monitored in 106 studies show declines in abundance and species richness, mostly driven by widespread declines of formerly abundant species.
The underlying causes might be associated with recent anthropogenic changes.
"their general declines are likely to have broad repercussions for food webs and ecosystem functioning"
