  • Summary

  • Several recent news reports have pointed to something terrifying: insect numbers are in catastrophic decline, with some even calling it an “insectageddon.” And while some scientists question these claims, most agree that the demise of these tiny creatures would be the end of us. In the inaugural episode of Insects and the Apocalypse, we explore the fundamental question: how does one even count insects? We then meet a team of scientists working in a small island rainforest who may have stumbled upon the answer.

Light easy listen

Not quite what I was expecting but a nice easy listen about the hyperbolic headlines around insect declines, the reality of scientific nuances behind dramatic (and unnecessarily dramatic?) media headlines. Plus an exploration of the use of sound in biological study. Not the deepest dive but fairly insightful.
