Retraction

Retraction: Distribution characteristics of insect diversity in long-term fixed monitoring plots in Northeast China

  • The PLOS One Editors

The PLOS One Editors retract this article [1] because it was identified as one of a series of submissions for which we have concerns about peer review integrity and potential manipulation of the publication process. These concerns call into question the validity and provenance of the reported results. We regret that the issues were not identified prior to the article’s publication.

JL did not agree with the retraction. XY, XS, JZ, DW, and MG either did not respond directly or could not be reached.
