Mammals have only between 4000 and 5000 known species of mammals that are vertebrates. The largest group would be Osteichthyes (or bony fish) which has an astonishing amount that adds up to roughly 29,000 species known to man.

What do you call the group of animals of one kind kept or living together?
All animals around the world can sometimes be a threat to others. But what iif a group of species were close together? Well this is called a morphospecies.When distinctly different, or diverse, species live together in one area, whether that area is a small suburb, a forest, a pond or an ocean, or the entire planet, it is called biodiversity, or a group of biodiverse species.This grouping was more commonly called species richness, or species diversity, but our horizons have expanded as we've learned more about the way life exists and co-exists, operates and co-operates, within areas ranging from immense to tiny, and we now see this very necessary diversity as far more wide-ranging than once was envisaged.For more information on biodiversity, have a look at the link, below.
What s introducing a new or different quality to a group?

What group animals includes modern humans?
Modern humans belong to a group called hominids. Homo sapiens, or humans, are the only surviving species of hominids. Hominids are part of a larger group of animals called primates, which includes monkeys and apes. Humans are also mammals.

Beetles have more diversity among them than do any other group of animals.
How many animals are the in Mexico?
There are millions of them. Billions if you also count small animals such as insects and arthropods. Mexico is considered a "mega-diverse" country and as such forms part of a select group of nations that possess the greatest number and diversity of animals and plants, being home of nearly 10-12% of global species diversity. Also Mexico ranks first in biodiversity in reptiles with 707 known species, second in mammals with 438 species and fourth in amphibians with 290 species.
How does the system of classification relate to the diversity of species?
The system of classification helps organize and categorize the diverse range of species based on shared characteristics. By grouping species into categories like genus and species, it provides a way to understand the relationships between different organisms and their evolutionary histories. Classification also helps scientists communicate and study the vast diversity of species more effectively.
What is the taxonomic group that displays the greatest diversity?
Insects are the taxonomic group that displays the greatest diversity on Earth. They make up the largest group of animals and are found in nearly every environment, with estimates of millions of species still undiscovered.
What is the population of the animals in Mexico?
Mexico is considered a "mega-diverse" country and as such forms part of a select group of nations that possess the greatest number and diversity of animals and plants, being home of nearly 10-12% of global species diversity. Also Mexico ranks first in biodiversity in reptiles with 707 known species, second in mammals with 438 species and fourth in amphibians with 290 species.
Does the US or Mexico have the fewest amount of mammals?
The US has fewer mammals. Mexico is considered a "mega-diverse" country and as such forms part of a select group of nations that possess the greatest number and diversity of animals and plants, being home of nearly 10-12% of global species diversity. Mexico ranks third in mammal biodiversity in the world with 535 species, behind Indonesia (667) and Brazil (578).
Which group under went a large increase in diversity during the Cambrian explosion?
Animals were exposed to this variance in diversity.
Which group of protist has the greatest number of species?

Which of the following encompasses the greatest diversity of species?
Depending on what you have, it would be the answers earliest in the taxanomy charts. Like if your answers were Phylum, Species, Family, and Class, then your answer would probably be Phylum, because it's one of the first listed group in the animal kingdom.
Which classification group contains the greatest number of different types of organisms?
Insects and their relatives have the largest number of species, a total of 875,000.
What do scientist mean when they talk about the diversity of life?
Diversity refers to how many different species are in an area or belong to a given group of organisms.
What causes diversity of organisms?
the genetic variation isappearanceor the genes members of the same species of the same group.
