Insect biomass is declining across the globe at an alarming rate. Climate change and the widespread use of pesticides have been hypothesized as two underlying drivers. However, the lack of systematic experimental studies across chemicals and species limits our causal understanding of this problem. Here, we employed a chemical library encompassing 1024 different molecules\u2014including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and inhibitors of plant growth\u2014to investigate how insect populations are affected by varying concentrations of pesticides, focusing on sublethal doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
