Question 1<br>Read the excerpt below regarding research at the University of Guelph:<br>Light Pollution is key 'bringer of insect apocalypse'<br>Light pollution is a significant but overlooked driver of the rapid decline of insect<br>populations. Artificial light at night can affect every aspect of insects' lives...from<br>luring moths to their deaths around bulbs, to spotlighting insect prey for rats and<br>toads, to obscuring the mating signals of fireflies. Widespread declines [in insect<br>populations] threaten to cause a catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems.<br>Insects around the world are rapidly declining. Their absence would have<br>devastating consequences for life on this planet. There are thought to be millions of<br>insect species...and about half are nocturnal.
