Cultivating Respect for Insects

Simply put: all life on earth depends on insects, for more reasons than most people realize. This talk will explore some of the immeasurably important ways that insects keep ecosystems functioning, including nutrient recycling, pollination services, and trophic interactions. It will also cover ways in which we can conserve much-needed insect diversity in our own yards. Presented by Dr. Dan Duran, Assistant Professor from the Rowan University Department of Environmental Science.
