  1. Ambiguous or misleading language can affect science communication with peer and public audiences, with potentially damaging impacts on policy and public engagement.
  2. The word decline can be value‐laden and has inherent negative connotations. It is not always the most appropriate term to use for effective science communication to promote insect biodiversity and conservation issues.
  3. We recommend four key questions to consider when deciding whether the term insect decline is appropriate to use.
  4. Evidence‐based insect conservation depends on public and political support. Moving forward, researchers and communicators should be mindful that the inherent diversity of insects demands a nuanced and diverse scientific discussion, not an ambiguous and generalised one.

昆虫语义的叙事:向同龄人和公众观众传达昆虫保护的建议

  1. 含糊不清或误导性语言会影响与同行和公众听众的科学交流,从而可能对政策和公众参与产生破坏性影响。
  2. 拒绝一词可能是充满价值的,并具有内在的负面含义。有效地进行科学交流以促进昆虫生物多样性和保护问题并非总是最合适的术语。
  3. 我们建议在确定“昆虫减少”一词是否适合使用时应考虑四个关键问题。
  4. 基于证据的昆虫保护取决于公众和政治支持。展望未来,研究人员和传播者应注意,昆虫固有的多样性需要细致而多样的科学讨论,而不是模棱两可和笼统的讨论。
