Adapting mark-recapture methods to estimating accepted species-level diversity: a case study with terrestrial Gastropoda

Adapting mark-recapture methods to estimating accepted species-level diversity: a case study with terrestrial Gastropoda

We introduce a new method of estimating accepted species diversity by adapting mark-recapture methods to comparisons of taxonomic databases. A taxonomic database should become more complete over time, so the error bar on an estimate of its completeness and the known diversity of the taxon it treats...
