GLobal Insect Threat-Response Synthesis (GLiTRS). A project aiming to develop a comprehensive and predictive assessment of the pattern and consequences of insect decline.
And there's a great opportunity to get involved in this project at the @entsocamerica.bsky.social conference in Portland, Oregon in the symposium on Evidence Synthesis 🧾🐝🦋🦗

A huge amount of work by Joe and others 👏 went into building the infrastructure behind the database. Including 'Dynameta', a platform for ingesting the effect sizes and a meta-protocol to coordinate the many different meta-analyses.

The GLiTRS team are working to implement this approach to provide an updated overview of the state of the world's insects and how they respond to a range of human-driven threats - so watch this space for more!

By combining space-for-time analysis, experiments, expert elicitation and time series we can better inform assessments of insect responses to threats (5/7)

In this review, we propose a way forward that brings together evidence types and integrates these into one model to take advantage of the strengths of each whilst balancing out their weaknesses (4/7)

Ideally, we would systematically monitor insects everywhere, however, due to their sheer diversity and the fact that most have not even been named, this is just not feasible.
Rather than wait for long-term data, we must gather all information together to understand the status of insects (3/7)

Insects are incredibly important; they provide a range of services that us humans would find it pretty hard to live without. Yet they are in decline across many regions of the world 📉🌍 and it is unclear what is causing this at the global scale (2/7)
