Project description and aims
The data created in this initiative aims to support applications across:
- Accelerate insect identification: expedite identification of pest and beneficial insects to enhance monitoring, establish baselines, and identify unique native species.
- Expand knowledge of insect roles: deepen understanding of insect roles in ecosystems, including adaptation, cryptic species, extinction risks, and predator-prey dynamics.
- Support data-driven pest management: provide insights into insecticide resistance and the impacts of pest control on pollination and ecosystems.
