“Insects are so incredibly important in food webs…In terrestrial food webs, we often find that insects comprise some of the lower trophic levels — in other words, they’re eaten by lots and lots of other animals, and those animals are in turn eaten by others….Noise doesn’t just affect insects…It affects all those other organisms, too.” – Dr. Robin Tinghitella
