Thanks for pointing that out, Hugh! I would like Rethink Priorities (RP) to get mainline welfare ranges nematodes, microorganisms (protists,archaea, andbacteria), and plants. From Table S1 of Bar-on et al. (2018), there are 10^21 nematodes, 10^27 protists, 10^29 archaea, 10^30 bacteria, and 10^13 trees. I think effects on nematodes, and maybe microorganisms are the driver of the overall effects of the vast majority of interventions.
I’d like to see it expanded to even smaller animals if possible, like @Vasco Grilo🔸 asks here.
