A newly published paper is drawing attention to the wide range of interactions between vertebrate and insect species. The research, covered by UConn's news outlet, examines how these two groups interact across ecosystems, offering a broad synthesis of ecological relationships. The findings are of interest to biologists and ecologists studying food webs, pollination, and predator-prey dynamics.
