À propos de ce contenu audio

 Insects are dying off at an apocalyptic rate, or are they? Now there's a way to find out. In this limited series, we go to a remote island rainforest to listen to sound-based research that could reveal the truth about global insect death. Even if we find them icky, insects are essential to human, animal, and plant existence. If they disappear, we're all in deep trouble. Bill McQuay is an award-winning science and audio producer. In collaboration with a research team, he uses his investigative and listening skills to search for an answer to whether insects are on the verge of extinction.©2023 Ecolocation Sound (P)2023 Audible Originals, LLC Plein-air et nature Science

In the inaugural episode of Insects and the Apocalypse, we explore the fundamental question: how does one even count insects? We then meet a team of scientists working in a small island rainforest who may have stumbled upon the answer.
