For a classic account of how species diversity arises, how many species may exist, and related issues, see Wilson (2010). More detailed accounts are available in Huston (1994), Heywood and Watson (1995), and Scheffers et al. (2012). The World Conservation Union maintains www.iucnredlist.org, which lists and describes endangered species. For an overview of some of the instrumental values of species see Chivian and Bernstein 2008, and for thoughts on intrinsic value see McCord 2012. Also see species2000.org for a global effort to list all the world’s species, www.gbif.org, eol.org and www.unep‐wcmc.org for global biodiversity information and data repository sites, natureserve.org for information on species in the western hemisphere, and tolweb.org/tree for information on taxonomic relationships.
