I wonder if the insects have just learned to avoid highways, is there any data to indicate a shift in behavior like that? I couldn’t find anything
2 3 ReplyYeah the data indicates we've killed so many they haven't been able to repopulate fast enough.
They're not avoiding the roads there's just not as many bugs flying around anymore

Could also vary by ecosystem, https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aax9931
I agree that humans are creating irreversible environmental changes though, I just hate the simplicity of science memes sometimes because it all just starts to sound like dogma

Regardless of the region we're causing massive population drops among pretty much every species.
