Abstract

[Extract] One of the most heated debates in biology today revolves around how many species share our planet with us. Discounting microbes, plausible estimates range from around 2 million to over 50 million species of animals, plants, and fungi. Why is there so much uncertainty? The biggest reason, I'd argue, is that a lot of biodiversity is surprisingly hard to find or identify. This has profound implications for nature conservation and for our understanding of life on Earth.
