Virtual Zoom Meeting
7:30 PM EST
Insect decline in the Anthropocene: Death by a Thousand Cuts
David Wagner
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut
Abstract:
The talk will be a current assessment of what is known and what is not about insect losses (and gains) across the planet, and the stressors underlying declines. In essence it will be about the who, what, when, where, and why of reported losses. The last portion of the talk will address actions to slow declines and promote insect biodiversity.
Due to visitor restrictions on Harvard campus and COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, we are temporarily suspending all physical meetings and formal pre-talk dinners until further notice.
CEC meetings are normally held the second Tuesday of the month from October through May. The evening schedule typically includes an informal dinner (5:45 to 7:15 PM) followed by our formal meeting (7:30 – 9:00 PM). The latter begins with club business and is followed by a 60-minute entomology related presentation. Membership is open to amateur and professional entomologists.
