> Hoping to see the details on how they did things. Me, too. You can get some inferences based on what others in the field are saying about the paper, although I have no idea how well-representative these folks are, either. https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-study-of-insect-numbers-in-the-us/ https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-study-... The strongest criticism centers around how well the data sets cover the US biosphere. For example, "Crossley’s datasets include aphids on farmland in the Midwest (40% of all the time series), and samples in urban habitats in Phoenix, Arizona (24% of all time series)." So it seems that which the abstract giveth, the article body taketh away.
