Dear colleagues,
Those with their ears to the ground have been hearing disturbing rumblings — caused, it seems, by mass die-offs of the myriad little animals that once dominated our Earth.
What’s happening? No one knows for sure. Here, I take a close look at evidence from a long-term study of rainforest insects — one suggesting the whirrs, chirps, buzzes and scurries that we have long for granted may suddenly be falling silent.
