Reply to Kühne et al.: Still good evidence that people search for meaning when they approach a new decade in chronological age

Commentary on: People search for meaning when they approach a new decade in chronological age

This work is essential for the conservation of biodiversity and for estimating how many species there are left to be discovered, the so-called missing species [1]. However, it has been claimed the science of taxonomy is in crisis [2] because researchers are afraid that the number of people describing new species is in decline [3,4]. In a recent lette...
