An estimate of the lower limit of global fungal diversity (2006, background): “Given the high degree of uncertainty surrounding insect species diversity (Ødegaard 2000), estimates of insect-associated fungal diversity are likely to be uncertain for the foreseeable future.”
Herbal extracts and phytochemicals: plant secondary metabolites and the enhancement of human brain function. (2011, background): “The insect group itself comprises more than one-half of all of the species of multi-cellular life identified on earth thus far (16).”
The importance of plant relatedness for host utilization among phytophagous insects (2005, background): “Mawdsley & Stork (1997) suggested that plant genera or even plant families may be the appropriate average taxonomic units for consideration of host specificity, while Ødegaard (2000) employed the species level of plants combined with a between-community correction factor to achieve the same purpose.”
Significance of Specimen Databases from Taxonomic Revisions for Estimating and Mapping the Global Species Diversity of Invertebrates and Repatriating Reliable Specimen Data (2004, background): “…are on our planet have been attempted, but agreement remains elusive because different estimation approaches yield wildly differing results ranging from 3 to 80 million, with most recent work favoring 5–10 million species (e.g., Stork 1988; Gaston 1991; Hodkinson & Casson 1991; Ødegaard 2000).”
Exploring the relationship between nichie breadth and invasion success (2006, background): “The realization that tropical herbivorous insects were less specialized than previously thought led to revising the estimated number of global species from 30 million (Erwin 1982) to approximately 5 million (Ødegaard 2000, Novotný et al. 2002).”
The magnitude of fungal diversity: the 1.5 million species estimate revisited * * Paper presented at (2001, background): “Ødegaard (2000) has revisited estimates of arthropod diversity on Earth, revising them down from Erwin’s (1982) 30 M to 4±8 M (range 2±4– 10 M) species in the light of new data.”
The exploration of marine biodiversity: scientific and technological challenges (2006, background): “Speculations on the global number of helminth species are hampered by two factors that may reinforce or annul each other, just as they impact speculations on global numbers of phytophagous insects (Ødegaard 2000).”
Diversity and composition of Arctiidae moth ensembles along a successional gradient in the Ecuadorian Andes (2005, background): “They are particularly abundant and species rich in tropical rain forests (Ødegaard, 2000), yet the extent of this diversity, its role for ecosystem function, and the degree of degradation as a result of anthropogenic habitat alterations, are still very incompletely known.”
Partitioning the turnover and nestedness components of beta diversity (2010, methodology): “Finally, even the estimates of global biodiversity could be compromised by the measure used to assess beta diversity, which is a key step in the extrapolation of global figures of richness (Erwin, 1982; Odegaard, 2000; Novotny et al., 2007), because confounding subsets of richest biotas (nestedness)”
The Neglect of Parasitic Hymenoptera in Insect Conservation Strategies: The British Fauna as a Prime Example (2001, background): “Allowing for the existence of 5–10 million species of insects (Gaston 1991), which appears to be a robust estimate ( Odegaard 2000 ), it is apparent firstly that only around 10–20% of all insects have been described, and secondly that the percentage of species in different insect groups so treated v”
How Many Species of Gall-Inducing Insects Are There on Earth, and Where Are They? (2009, background): “This represents a 10-fold increase in the current catalogued number of gall-inducing species, which matches the predicted increase in insect richness as a whole (May 1988, Ødegaard 2000).”
Cobweb as novel biomaterial for the green and eco-friendly synthesis of silver nanoparticles (2016, background): “It has been estimated that the number of arthropod species varies between 1,170,000 and 5–10 million accounting for over 80 % of all known living animal species (Ødegaard 2000).”
