BBSRC | 50 Years of the Rothamsted #Insect Survey: Protecting #Crops and #Ecosystems Globally @bbsrcmedia | Uploaded September 2014 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
In 2014, the Rothamsted Insect Survey (RIS) celebrated its 50th anniversary, having cataloged over 30 million #insects across the UK.

This valuable information helps #farmers to predict when #pest species may affect their #crops and identifies disease-carrying vectors, while #ecologists worldwide use the data to understand the fundamental patterns that underlie the biological communities' structure.

Today, as a BBSRC National Capability, the RIS continues to expand its research, benefiting not only the UK but the wider global scientific community.

Join us to learn more about the RIS's contributions over the past 50 years and its ongoing efforts to protect crops and #ecosystems worldwide.
