Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 1, Page 54-64, January 2026.
This study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...
