- The numbers of fungi: are the most speciose genera truly . . .
Fungi play vital roles in ecosystems as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes The current estimate of fungal diversity is highly uncertain, ranging from 1 5 to 12 million, but only around 150,000 species have been named and classified to date Since the introduction of DNA based methods for species identification, the number of newly described taxa has increased from approximately 1000 to around

Mass extinctions are characterized by the loss of at least 75% of species within a geologically short period of time (i e , less than 2 million years) [22] [54] The Holocene extinction is also known as the "sixth extinction", as it is possibly the sixth mass extinction event, after the Ordovician–Silurian extinction events, the Late Devonian extinction, the Permian–Triassic extinction

- Estimating the normal background rate of species extinction
Median diversification rates were 0 05–0 2 new species per million species per year On the basis of these results, we concluded that typical rates of background extinction may be closer to 0 1 E MSY
