关于这个话题，我读过最好的内容其实来自生物学。E.O. 威尔逊在《缤纷的生命》（The Diversity of Life）中描述了特化物种是如何在稳定的环境中繁盛起来的。环境的稳定性让它们能够“深度”演化并占据某个生态位，进而彻底击败那些对同一生态位不够专注的物种。……
The best thing I ever read on this topic came from biology. In "The Diversity of Life," E.O. Wilson describes how specialist species thrive in stable environments. The stability allows them to evolve "deeply" into a niche and outcompete any species less specialized for that same niche.…
爱德华·O·威尔逊写的那本《缤纷的生命》（The Diversity Of Life）提到了夏威夷群岛的外来物种入侵问题。强烈推荐这本。
Edward O. Wilson's book called "The Diversity Of Life" touches on the invasive species of the Hawaiian islands. I highly recommend it.
……关于通识科学、生物学和化学的书（排名不分先后，这些是我脑海里最先浮现的几本）：托马斯·库恩的《科学革命的结构》、爱德华·O·威尔逊的《缤纷的生命》、乔纳森·韦纳的《雀喙之谜：演化进行时》、斯蒂芬·杰·古尔德的《母鸡的牙齿与马的脚趾》、“生命……

最近在读爱德华·O·威尔逊的《缤纷的生命》。本来想看他写蚂蚁的那本书，但当时没货/送不了/没有电子版，于是在 kindle 上买了这本。目前才读了大概 30%，但有些内容挺新鲜的。我本来以为它……
Currently reading The Diversity of Life by Edward O. Wilson. Wanted to read his book about ants but it was not available/deliverable/ebook. So purchased this on kindle. Have read only about 30%. But some of the things are new. I expected it…
……解释了印度古典音乐背后的逻辑（作者是 Bhatkhande）、《设计心理学》（Design of Everyday Things），还有《罗马统治下的不列颠史》（牛津英格兰史系列）或《欧洲的形成》。最近在读威尔逊的《缤纷的生命》（Diversity of Life），顺便学德语。在论坛发帖纯粹是好奇大家手头都压着哪些想做还没做的事、平时怎么打发时间之类的。
…explains method behind the Indian classical music (Author Bhatkhande), Design of Everyday Things, and A History of Roman Britain (Oxford History of England) or The making of Europe. Currently reading Diversity of Life(Wilson). And learning German. Asking this in this forum just out of curiosity to know what kind of pending things others have, how they are spending their time, etc.
出自爱德华·O·威尔逊的《缤纷的生命》（这些数据针对的是已知物种）。虽然这并没有回答“为什么只发现了 10%”这部分，但作者提到每年会确认 13000 个新物种，这应该能……
From The Diversity Of Life by Edward O. Wilson (These numbers are for recognized species.) This does not answer the "only 10% known" part. However, the part where the author says 13000 new species recognized every year should give…
