Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that nearly 90% of North American insect and arachnid species lack conservation status, with most states offering no protection to any arachnid species. The study, published in PNAS, highlights a critical gap in monitoring and protecting these ecologically essential creatures that support ecosystems through pollination, pest control, and other vital functions.
