最近的研究表明，当地和区域昆虫种群的时间变化得到了全球媒体的夸大报道。在这一重要问题上的混乱和不准确的科学传播可能会对公众对昆虫保护的支持产生反作用。昆虫启示录的叙述是由有限数量的研究推动的，这些研究在地理上（主要是英国，欧洲，美国）和分类学上（主要是一些蜜蜂，大鳞翅目和地面甲虫）受到限制。取样和分析方法中的偏差（例如，分类与连续时间序列，不同的多样性指标）限制了这些研究作为全球昆虫普遍减少证据的相关性。相反，这项研究的价值在于突出重点投资的重要领域。我们总结了基于证据的昆虫保护的研究，交流和政策优先事项，包括知识的关键领域，以增加对昆虫种群动态的理解。重要的是，我们提倡在科学传播中保持平衡的观点，以更好地服务于公众和科学利益。
Recent studies showing temporal changes in local and regional insect populations received exaggerated global media coverage. Confusing and inaccurate science communication on this important issue could have counterproductive effects on public support for insect conservation. The insect apocalypse narrative is fuelled by a limited number of studies that are restricted geographically (predominantly the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States) and taxonomically (predominantly some bees, macrolepidoptera, and ground beetles). Biases in sampling and analytical methods (e.g., categorical versus continuous time series, different diversity metrics) limit the relevance of these studies as evidence of generalized global insect decline. Rather, the value of this research lies in highlighting important areas for priority investment. We summarize research, communication, and policy priorities for evidence-based insect conservation, including key areas of knowledge to increase understanding of insect population dynamics. Importantly, we advocate for a balanced perspective in science communication to better serve both public and scientific interests.
