But what does it really mean? Doesn't that tell you anything?Scientists associate the dramatic decline in insect populations with industrial agricultural practices, especially habitat destruction and pesticide use. That decline, besides being a tragedy by iteslf, also affects the whole terrestrial ecosystems, such as the birds', reptiles' and amphibians' diet, pollination, etc. The collapse of the insect populations may be the foretoken of the collapse of ecosystems</blockquote>
