  1. ncbi Global coordination and standardisation in marine biodiversity through the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and related databases
    Mark J Costello
    Leigh Marine Laboratory, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
    PLoS ONE 8:e51629. 2013
    ..As a consequence of WoRMS, we are witnessing improved communication within the scientific community, and anticipate increased taxonomic efficiency and quality control in marine biodiversity research and management...
  2. ncbi Can we name Earth's species before they go extinct?
    Mark J Costello
    Leigh Marine Laboratory, University of Auckland, Post Office Box 349, Warkworth, New Zealand
    Science 339:413-6. 2013
    ..Extinction rates are, however, poorly quantified, ranging from 0.01 to 1% (at most 5%) per decade. We propose practical actions to improve taxonomic productivity and associated understanding and conservation of biodiversity...
  3. ncbi Predicting total global species richness using rates of species description and estimates of taxonomic effort
    Mark J Costello
    Leigh Marine Laboratory, University of Auckland, Warkworth, New Zealand
    Syst Biol 61:871-83. 2012
    ..We predict that there may be 1.8-2.0 million species on Earth, of which about 0.3 million are marine, significantly less than some previous estimates...

    Environ Sci Technol 44:8821-8. 2010
    ..The database could be used to classify ocean features, such as abyssal plains, ridges, and slopes, and thus provide the basis for a standards based classification of ocean topography...
