Summary:
A recent study highlights that over 1,000 new
species of mammals have been described globally during the last dozen years, a
finding that contradicts the notion that our mammalian relatives are well
known. This rate of species discovery is driven by advances in DNA analysis
methods and field exploration. This new listing of all living mammal species is
publicly accessible in the Mammal Diversity Database.
