The unseen heroes of land & water – an overview of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates

Free public lecture part of the series "Invertebrates and us - the good the bad and the ugly".

Invertebrates provide us with “ecological services” that many take for granted: they pollinate many of our crops, turn waste materials into fertile soil, provide food for birds and other animals, and assist us to control pests. But some invertebrates pose problems: they may themselves be pests in agriculture, or parasites on us. Invertebrates are easily ignored. This lecture series outlines the vital roles that invertebrates play in our lives.
