Insects essential to vertebrate survival, researchers say
Original: Insects are essential to vertebrate life — as food, shelter and medicine
Researchers at Binghamton University argue that insects are far more important to vertebrate life than commonly assumed, serving not only as food for countless animals but also as sources of shelter and medicine. The review highlights how declines in insect populations could ripple through ecosystems, threatening species that depend on them in ways beyond simple predator-prey relationships.
Why now: A new academic publication on the overlooked role of insects in sustaining vertebrates is drawing science media attention amid wider concern over insect declines.
