Hi folks,
Hard to say if she would have a Twitter account...but she might tweet the
link to this article:
http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/04/clues-to-species-decline-buried.html
 Clues to Species Decline Buried in Pile of Bird Excrement
Link to the original paper by Nocera et al. in *Proceedings of the Royal
Society B:*
http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2012/04/15/rspb.2012.0445

*Excerpt from abstract:*
"We argue that DDT applications decimated Coleoptera populations and
dramatically altered insect community structure by the 1960s, triggering
nutritional consequences for swifts and other aerial insectivores"

cheers,
ps. as I was signing off on this email, Chris Kennedy's email of the same
topic just came through - same wavelength Chris.
