Protocol for the collection of datasets used in the production of 'Insect Time Series (IN-TIME)' - a database of global insect trends.

Description

The goal of this protocol is to outline the process for the collection of datasets from across the globe describing high taxonomic resolution trends in insect populations. Here we consider population trends to exclude simple presence/absence data, although we do include a diverse range of metrics of population size including abundance, density, biomass, and a variety of corrected population indices. This data is collected with the goal of creating an open access database curated with a standardised taxonomy to facilitate accessibility and access across datasets. Data collected under this work was undertaken as part of the Global Insect Threat-Response Synthesis (GLiTRS) project (https://glitrs.ceh.ac.uk/).
