  1. Number of species per taxonomic group found in natural sites (n = 90), perceived areas of high species richness (HighSpcRich, n = 10), arable land (n = 15), and plantations (n = 15). Gallers/miners represent multiple insect taxa (see Additional file 2: Appendix B for a full list). Data for insects are given per order with additional rows for the species-rich families of Carabidae and Syrphidae. The number of unique species for each habitat type and taxonomic group is given in brackets. Across sites coverage is the proportion of species likely to be found across all 130 sites, which were actually observed as estimated by extrapolation using the iNEXT package. Within sites coverage is the mean of the site specific coverage values across the 130 sites for invertebrates with abundance data. The number of new species for Denmark found during the project is also given for each taxonomic group
