New paper in Science (4th April 2025) – Are insects in rapid global decline? If so, what would turn things around? The latest paper from the GLiTRS project, Integrating multiple evidence streams to understand insect biodiversity change, spells out why these are still open questions, despite their high profile over recent years. It argues that time-series data, such as those coming from monitoring programmes, are too patchy and biased to give a clear picture of any global trend, and that combining different lines of evidence into a synthetic threat-response model can provide a deeper understanding. As well as being among the paper’s authors, Andy was interviewed for an article about it on the NHM news site.
