Extrapolations from field studies and known faunas converge on dramatically increased estimates of global microgastrine parasitoid wasp species richness (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) (2013, background): “Previous published estimates of the number of species of Microgastrinae range from 4000 to 5500 species (Jones et al., 2009) to ~10 000 (Mason, 1981).”
Defying the curse of ignorance: perspectives in insect macroecology and conservation biogeography (2010, background): “…and lack of knowledge about species tends to be associated with macroecological traits, such as geographic range size, body size, colour patterns or behaviour, or with where species are located (Lobo et al., 2007; Ferro &Diniz, 2008; Jones et al., 2009; Stork et al., 2009; Baselga et al., 2010).”
Molecular phylogenetics of Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea), based on multiple nuclear genes, and implications for classification (2011, background): “this estimate is probably extremely conservative (Marsh & Carlson, 1979; Jones et al., 2009).”
