Insect Conservation: Biodiversity and Threats to Ecosystems

This exam examines the principles of insect conservation, focusing on biodiversity, endangerment, and the various threats that insects face. Key topics include habitat loss, pollinator decline, and invasive species.

Insects play essential roles in ecosystem function and service provision. Understanding the factors contributing to their decline is critical for implementing effective conservation strategies that safeguard biodiversity.

Verbal assessments will evaluate candidates' understanding of conservation principles and their ability to articulate the specific threats to insect populations. Candidates are expected to discuss case studies and real-world implications.

Discussions may also include the role of legislation and public policy in insect conservation, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary approaches.
