Insects are the lynchpin of much of the natural world. They are incredibly diverse (over a half of all known species are insects), and fill a huge array of ecological niches, being herbivores, carnivores and detritivores. It is this diversity that makes the study of insect ecology so critical, and the Royal Entomological Society’s Ecology Special Interest Group reflects this significance. The group also provides a forum for the dissemination and discussion of results from studies on the conservation of insects, focussing on how high quality scientific research can best serve the conservation of rare and endangered species or communities of insects.
