TL;DR: The kingdom Animalia is estimated to have a total of 1,659,420 described species (including 133,692 fossil species) in 40 phyla as discussed by the authors, including 35,644 species of fishes, 7,171 species of amphibians, 15,507 species of reptiles, 11,087 species of birds, and 16,014 species of mammals.

TL;DR: Brehm et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed a molecular dataset of 1206 Geometroidea terminal taxa and established 11 new tribe names (Larentiinae, authors Brehm, Murillo-Ramos & Ounap).

TL;DR: Given that the dialects of isolated speaker populations may eventually evolve into different languages, the result suggests that cultural adaptation to local environment and the associated isolation of speaker populations have contributed to the emergence of the global patterns of linguistic diversity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the Czech population merits the highest conservation priority, the two Swedish populations represent a distinct evolutionary lineage, and hence merit high conservation attention, and the Estonian and Asian populations had the highest genetic diversity.

TL;DR: A multigene phylogenetic study was carried out to test current, mostly morphology‐based hypotheses on Sterrhinae phylogeny with additional material included from further geographical areas and morphologically different lineages, and results generally agree with earlier hypotheses at tribal levels and support the hypothesis that Sterrhinee comprises two major lineages.
