In an exclusive conversation with ETV Bharat’s Space Science Editor, Dr. Anubha Jain, Professor Renee M. Borges, Honorary Professor at the Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), unravels how heat, habitat loss, and shifting seasons are silently rewriting the lives of insects — and what that means for our planet’s future.
