- Inordinate Fondness Multiplied and Redistributed: the Number . . .
Abstract The number of species on Earth is one of the most fundamental numbers in science, but one that remains highly uncertain Clearly, more species exist than the present number of formally described species (approximately 1 5 million), but projected species numbers differ dramatically among studies Recent estimates range from about 2 million species to approximately 1 trillion, but most
- 1 million species under threat of extinction because of . . .
“There are more insects than anything else on Earth, and they are the most diverse group of organisms, but it’s estimated that upwards of 10 million more species haven’t even been described

Of the described species, approximately 391,000 species are plants, 140,000 are fungi, and 1 5 million species are animals False If you include bacteria and viruses, recent studies have indicated a realistic estimation of total biodiversity is up to 100 million species
- Why are insects considered the most successful group of animals?
With more than one million described species (and perhaps millions more not yet identified), class Insecta is the most successful group of animals on Earth In the United States alone, about 91,000 different species have been described, with an estimated 73,000 species not yet described
- Arthropod | Definition, Examples, Characteristics, Classes . . .
