- The reasons why scientists have different ideas about how many species inhabit Earth
- Different scientists have used different techniques to make their estimate
- Relatively little is known about some groups of organisms e.g. bacteria and insects - there could be more than we think
- Estimates of global biodiversity change as scientists find out new things
- Biodiversity varies in different parts of the world -the greater diversity is neat the equator, especially in Tropical rainforests, which are largely unexplored - this might mean current estimates of global diversity are too loo
