To put that number into perspective, here's a graph comparing the 40,000 species of spiders to the 400 species of primates.

The number of species increases 21 percent so if you have 1,000 species you would expect 200 more in a marine reserve.

In this nursery, we're going to grow 10 times more than the number of species.

The number of species found in any one habitat varies considerably. Large tracts of boreal forest across North America and Eurasia have only a handful of tree species, while the Amazon basin may house 16,000.

There's six million species of insects on this planet, six million species.

And I wanted to show several species that we hadn't shown much in the magazine and worked in a number of locations.

I did a survey of a number of species of artifacts in my house, and there's 6,000. Other people have come up with 10,000.

We've got over 1,000 species. We have 137 bird species as of today.

Ten percent of all plant species on the planet, 24,000 species are safe 30,000 species, if we get the funding, by next year.

Climate change can destroy a large number of species in an irreversible manner, including resources and food that humans rely on for survival.

The Origin of the Species .

Domestically, a recent assessment of discarding in fisheries indicated that, of 159 distinct fisheries, discarding affected at least 149 species or species groups. Finfish, crustaceans and mollusks comprised a majority of these species or species groups, while protected species such as marine mammals, sea turtles and seabirds made up of most of the rest.

Alien species

If you look at the number of tree species we have in Europe, for instance, from the Urals up to England, you know how many?

According to the United States Marine Mammal Commission, 136 marine species have been reported in entanglement incidents in the wider United States area, including 6 species of sea turtles, 51 species of seabirds and 32 species of marine mammals (Marine Mammal Commission, 1996).

We're also a species of storytellers.

There are different species of memes.

We have 30 species of reptiles.

And that was the beginning of a kind of serial depletion from bigger and tastier species to smaller and not so tasty species, from species that were near to home to species that were all around the world, and what have you.

UNEP, through its biodiversity arm at the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC), has produced a number of assessments focusing on species and ecosystems biodiversity including

And a Homo evolutis brings together these three trends into a hominid that takes direct and deliberate control over the evolution of his species, her species and other species.

3. Alien species

But that number of bacteria species can be found in one gram of soil, just a little handful of soil, in the 10 billion bacteria that would be there.

As a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity and to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, Myanmar was trying hard to preserve the rich biological diversity of its territory, which contained, among others, 100 types of bamboo, about 30 species of rattan, 800 species of orchids, close to 1,000 species of birds, almost 300 species of mammals and approximately 360 known species of reptiles.

And I'm talking specifically about synanthropic species, which are species that have adapted specifically for human ecologies, species like rats and cockroaches and crows.

On one of the last dive series, we counted 200 species in these areas 198 were new, new species.

We are one species of about five and a half thousand mammalian species that exist on planet Earth today.

We don't see the origin of species.

Fifty five species of mammal like reptiles.

There are about 10,000 species of ants.

Butterflies of this species are now extinct.

These are gateway species, vanguard species that open the door for other biological communities.

But how about variation among spider species, so looking at one type of silk and looking at different species of spiders?

There's all sorts of wonderful cases of species.

It might seem that, as the pool of undescribed species diminishes, the rate at which taxonomists describe new species should decline. But the opposite has happened, with rates often increasing nearly exponentially from year to year a phenomenon that can be explained largely by the growing number of taxonomists.

That is, natural selection works on properties, like fitness, which are about relationships of some species to some other species.

One delegation noted that not all species of turtles were in danger of extinction, and that some species were in fact increasing.
