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.

Are insects the largest group in the animal kingdom?

Yes, insects are the largest group within the animal kingdom, both in terms of species diversity and number of individuals. They make up about 80% of all known animal species on Earth.


What is the name of a group of organisms consisting of only one species that live in the same place at the same time and produce offspring?

A population is a group of organisms of the same species that live in the same place at the same time and can reproduce.


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 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.

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 group of invertebrates have the greatest number of species?

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.


Are insects the largest group of animals on the Earth?

Yes, it has hundreds of billions of different kinds, including the same 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).


Define biological diversity?

Biological diversity refers to the variety and variability of living organisms and ecosystems found on Earth. It includes genetic diversity within species, species diversity within habitats, and ecosystem diversity within landscapes. This diversity is important for ecological balance, resilience, and the functioning of ecosystems.


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.


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.


How does the system of classification relate to the diversity of species?

The biological system of classification relates to the diversity of species because the system of classification is how we organize the diversity of species. With out it we would have a hard time trying to determine which animals belong with which group. There would be no order, just chaos of trying to determine animal likeness of one another.

What are the three types of bio diversity?

Genetic Diversity: the sum of all the different genes in a particular species (species: group of the same type of organisms that can easily breed and produce offspring) -there are small variances in organisms of the same species (ie height, colour). These small differences can help the species to adapt to the constantly changing world. -may help survival rate of species (monoculture vs. rich diversity species) Species Diversity: variety of species and relative abundance to the species living together in the same area. Having the variety of species live together may contribute to their health and sustainability to the ecosystem. Structural (Ecosystem) Diversity: variety of habitats, the different species that live in that habitat, and the relationships that connect the different species together.
