Fun sentence about the breadth of the data: "Types of arthropod data include grasshoppers per sweep in Konza Prairie (Kansas), ground arthropods per pitfall trap in Sevilleta desert/grassland (New Mexico), mosquito larvae per ovi-trap in Baltimore (Maryland), pelagic macroinvertebrates per tow and crayfish per fyke net in North Temperate Lakes (Wisconsin), aphids per suction trap sample in the Midwestern United States, crab burrows per quadrat in Georgia Coastal Ecosystems, ticks per person/hour in Harvard Forest (Massachusetts), caterpillars per plot in Hubbard Brook (New Hampshire), arthropods per pitfall trap and sweep net in Phoenix metro area (Arizona) and stream insects per rock scrub in the Arctic (Alaska) (Table 1)."
The crayfish and crabs surprised me, considering the title mentions only insect abundance.
