The seminal work that defined and provided a structure for the concept of cultural. competence was a monograph published in 1989 by the Georgetown University Child.

Insects also probably have the largest biomass of the terrestrial animals. At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (thatâs 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 for those who like actual numbers) individual insects alive. In the United States, the number of described species is approximately 91,000.
For example, says AMNH entomologist Randall Schuh, there are about 2,000 known insect species in North America, but only 200 in Australia, while the sampling of Australiaâs plant diversity that Schuh has done suggests that there could be as many as 3,000 insect species in Australia.
