Question 2 Read the excerpt below regarding research at the University of Guelph: Light Pollution is key 'bringer of insect apocalypse' Light pollution is a significant but overlooked driver of the rapid decline of insect populations. Artificial light at night can affect every aspect of insects' lives...from luring moths to their deaths around bulbs, to spotlighting insect prey for rats and toads, to obscuring the mating signals of fireflies. Widespread declines [in insect populations] threaten to cause a catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems. Insects around the world are rapidly declining. Their absence would have devastating consequences for life on this planet. There are thought to be millions of insect species...and about half are nocturnal. Those active in the day may also be disturbed by light at night when they are at rest. The evidence that light pollution has profound and serious impacts on ecosystems is overwhelmingly strong. Light pollution could have significant ramifications at the insect population, species or community level. Which of the following hypotheses are addressed in the article? Choose all that apply. Environments need to be made safer for insects Insect populations are declining O Insect population decline is due to light pollution Ecosystems are affected by light pollution
