Small but mighty': how invertebrates play central role in shaping our world
Briefly

Without shrimp, dung beetles, and thousands of fly species, vast amounts of organic matter would not break down, and nutrients would not be recycled through ecosystems.
Invertebrates like dung beetles and green bottle flies consume and break down animal waste, creating fertilizer for soils and removing odors, crucial for healthy ecosystem functioning.
Sea cucumbers in the oceans act as important decomposers and oxygenators, playing a role similar to earthworms in terrestrial environments, influencing various processes.
Invertebrates like beetles, flies, and sea cucumbers, alongside bees, are significant contributors to shaping the plant world, with diverse roles beyond pollination.
