Article Synopsis
- - Insect monitoring is essential for evaluating biodiversity and shaping conservation efforts, particularly in developing regions known as the Global South, which face significant research disparities compared to the Global North.
- - The study identifies various socio-economic and infrastructural challenges, such as limited funding, collaboration issues, and negative impacts from environmental changes, which hinder effective insect research and monitoring in these areas.
- - Proposed solutions include enhancing community engagement, improving language inclusivity, leveraging social media for communication, and fostering collaborations with Global North researchers in advanced fields to improve insect monitoring and support biodiversity conservation.
The production of oil palm is expected to increase in the Amazon region. However, expansion of oil palm plantation leads to significant changes in the physical structure of aquatic ecosystems, mainly through the reduction of riparian vegetation that is essential for aquatic biodiversity. Here, we evaluated the effects of oil palm on the physical habitat structure of Amazonian stream environments and assemblages of Plecoptera and Trichoptera (PT), both found in these streams.
