Overview
Motivation
The topic of insect declines has generated substantial literature over the past decade. While it is generally agreed that the major stressors acting on insect biodiversity are known, there is a need to untangle the relative importance of the diverse stressors and determine how and to what extent the drivers are interconnected. Given the rapid increase in the number of publications, it becomes informative to examine the literature to understand what hypothesized drivers have been implicated, at which scales of biological organization, and for which taxa. This repository contains the interactive network developed for this paper and the methodology behind it.
