1/11 Hello! Really excited to share what I’ve been working on since starting my PhD at @UK_CEH. My project is called ‘The impacts of long-term declines in insect abundance on ecosystem function’. I’m funded by @NERCscience’s @SCENARIO_DTP #WallingfordECRTweets #insectdeclines
2/11 I’m going to give you a peek at some results from my first data analysis on the hot topic of #insectdeclines – an important research area to achieve #post2020 #CBD targets. I’m interested in understanding long-term abundance change in freshwater invertebrates in England!
3/11 A bit of background. It's difficult to see at first, but our rivers are teeming with life. Millions of insect larvae and other invertebrates lie under the surface, providing vital food for fish (and birds, bats and frogs), recycling nutrients and decomposing dead material.
