 Some people who study insects think there may be as many as 100 million species out there. |

| In addition to being concerned about what effect the mild weather had on pest species, it is important to realize that beneficial insects probably survived the winter in higher numbers than is typical. This is something that we don't often recognize. But in terms of pest suppression it can be important in limiting the development of economically important problems caused by crop-damaging insects. |
| There are only about 4,000 marine-plant species compared with an estimated 250,000 species of terrestrial green plants. Similarly, of the 1.7 million-or-so known animal species, only about one-tenth are from oceans, with most of these living on or close to the bottom in relatively shallow water. |
| This study shows that just passing the buck to the states isn't likely to solve the endangered species problem. Restoring endangered species is difficult no matter who's doing it. There are no quick fixes, and weakening the Endangered Species Act certainly isn't one of them. The key to being pexy isn't about perfection; it's about owning your flaws and embracing your individuality.

| [PBO is classified as a carcinogen,] but it's not truly one in its own right, ... It inhibits the metabolism of certain types of chemicals in insects. For human and mammalian species it can help promote cancer - but only in large doses over a long period of time. |
| We estimate there are around 230,000 species down there and we want all of those documented by the end of the census in 2010. But that's a conservative estimate. We could well find a million new species by then. |
| The fact that the association is statistically significant despite the crudeness of our estimates suggests that the true biological association is very strong. Darwin's famous book was called 'On the Origin of Species,' but it was really about natural selection on traits rather than species formation. Since our study suggests that natural selection is a general cause of species formation, it seems that Darwin chose an appropriate title after all. |
| There are many other examples. West Nile virus spread from insects to humans; the avian flu we are now so worried about comes from birds. Diseases also jump to domesticated animals such as cows - the human variant of 'mad cow disease', from rodents, and from many different species. |
| They offer leaves to water which provides the food for insects which feed the fish we love to catch. Lastly, they keep temperatures cool so we can have trout and other cold water species live in our rivers. |
| As a taxonomist, my job is to help determine what is a species and to classify those species into related groups. Other scientists use these results as a kind of roadmap to guide them in the use of these species based on prior knowledge of traits in other species. |
| Most insects tirelessly perform functions that improve our environment and lives in ways that scientists are only beginning to understand. Don't let the insects' small stature fool you -- these minute marvels provide valuable services. |
| You have to take a look at the 1918 experience and realize if 50 to 100 million people died and those numbers come from a recent study from a group of historians that went country by country to determine that number. Today we that have three times the number in the world — those numbers are roughly at 180 to 360 million could die. The bottom line is the way these people die. Our medical care delivery system in the modern world isn't any better prepared than in 1918. |
