parent_taxon chinese bush warbler
___MASK85___ is a newly recognized family of small insectivorous songbirds (" warblers "), formerly placed in the Old World warbler " wastebin " family . It contains the grass warblers , grassbirds , and the " ___MASK29___ " " bush warblers ". These birds occur mainly in Eurasia , Africa , and the Australian region . The family name is sometimes given as Megaluridae , but ___MASK85___ has priority . Animals are multicellular , eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia ( also called ___MASK92___ ). The animal kingdom emerged as a basal clade within Apoikozoa as a sister of the choanoflagellates . Sponges are the most basal clade of animals . Animals are motile , meaning they can move spontaneously and independently at some point in their lives . Their body plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop , although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later in their lives . All animals are heterotrophs : they must ingest other organisms or their products for sustenance . A ___MASK27___ , or crest , is a small ___MASK67___ in a group that is sometimes included in the Old World warblers , but is frequently placed in its own family , Regulidae , because of resemblance to titmice . " Regulidae " is derived from the Latin word " regulus " for " petty king " or prince , and refers to the coloured crowns of adult birds . This family has representatives in North America and Eurasia . There are seven species in this family ; one , the Madeira firecrest , " Regulus madeirensis ", was only recently split from common firecrest as a separate species . One species , the ruby - crowned ___MASK27___ , differs sufficiently in its voice and plumage to occasionally be afforded its own genus , " Corthylio ". Description . Kinglets are among the smallest of all passerines , ranging in size from and weighing ; the sexes are the same size . They have medium - length wings and tails , and small needle - like bills . The plumage is overall grey - green , offset by pale wingbars , and the tail tip is incised . Five species have a single stiff feather covering the nostrils , but in the ruby - crowned ___MASK27___ , this is replaced by several short , stiff bristles . Most kinglets have distinctive head markings , and the males possess a colourful crown patch . In the females , the crown is duller and yellower . The long feathers forming the central crown stripe can be erected ; they are inconspicuous most of the time , but are used in courtship and territorial displays when the raised crest is very striking . East Asia is the eastern subregion of the Asian continent , which can be defined in either geographical or ethno - cultural terms . Geographically and geopolitically , it includes China , Hong Kong , and Macao ; Mongolia and Taiwan ; North and South Korea ; and Japan ; it covers about , or about 28 % of the Asian continent , about twice the ___MASK30___ of Europe . A sovereign state is , in international law , a nonphysical juridical entity that is represented by one centralised government that has sovereignty over a geographic ___MASK30___ . International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population , defined territory , one government , and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states . It is also normally understood that a sovereign state is neither dependent on nor subjected to any other power or state . Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body . It is usually of ___MASK81___ or animal origin , and contains essential nutrients , such as carbohydrates , fats , proteins , vitamins , or minerals . The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism ' s cells to provide energy , maintain life , or stimulate growth . The Chinese bush warbler ( Locustella tacsanowskia ) is a species of Old World warbler in the ___MASK85___ family . It is found in China , India , Laos , Mongolia , Myanmar , Nepal , Russia , Thailand , and Vietnam . Its natural habitat is temperate forests . A songbird is a ___MASK67___ belonging to the clade ___MASK96___ of the perching birds ( Passeriformes ). Another name that is sometimes seen as a scientific or vernacular name is Oscines , from Latin " oscen ", " a songbird ". This group contains some 4 , 000 species found all over the world , in which the vocal organ typically is developed in such a way as to produce a diverse and elaborate ___MASK67___ song . ___MASK40___ is a newly described family of small insectivorous birds formerly placed in the Old World warbler family . ___MASK40___ contains two genera , " Phylloscopus " and " ___MASK43___ ", respectively containing around 55 and 11 species . The leaf warblers are a branch of " Old World warblers ," one of 10 or more branches that sprouted as Families with the break - up of the Sylviidae . The ___MASK39___ warblers are small passerine birds belonging to the genus Locustella . Formerly placed in the paraphyletic " Old World warbler " assemblage , they are now considered the northernmost representatives of a largely Gondwanan family , the ___MASK85___ . The genus name " Locustella " is from Latin and is a diminutive of " locusta ", " ___MASK39___ ". Like the English name , this refers to the insect - like song of some species . Jurisdiction ( from the Latin " ius , " meaning " law " and "" meaning " to speak ") is the practical authority granted to a legal body to administer justice within a defined ___MASK30___ of responsibility , e . g ., Michigan tax law . In the federations like USA , ___MASK47___ of jurisdiction apply to local , state , and federal levels ; e . g . the court has jurisdiction to apply federal law . In biology , an organism is any contiguous living system , such as an ___MASK82___ , ___MASK81___ , fungus , archaeon , or bacterium . All known types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli , reproduction , growth and development and homeostasis . An organism consists of one or more cells ; when it has one cell it is known as a unicellular organism ; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism . Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic scale and are thus loosely described as microorganisms . Humans are multicellular organisms composed of many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs . Old World warblers are a large group of birds formerly grouped together in the ___MASK67___ family Sylviidae . The family held over 400 species in over 70 genera , and were the source of much taxonomic confusion . Two families were split out initially , the cisticolas into Cisticolidae and the kinglets into Regulidae . In the past ten years they have been the subject of much research and many species are now placed into other families , including the Acrocephalidae , Cettiidae , Phylloscopidae , and Megaluridae . In addition some species have been moved into existing families or have not yet had their placement fully resolved . A smaller family of warblers , together with some babblers formerly placed in the family Timaliidae and the parrotbills , are retained in a much smaller family Sylviidae . A habitat is an ecological or environmental ___MASK30___ that is inhabited by a particular species of animal , ___MASK81___ , or other type of organism . The term typically refers to the zone in which the organism lives and where it can find food , shelter , protection and mates for reproduction . It is the natural environment in which an organism lives , or the physical environment that surrounds a species population . ___MASK62___ is a newly validated family of small insectivorous songbirds (" warblers "), formerly placed in the Old World warbler " wastebin " assemblage .

With a total land area of and a population of over 7 . 3 million of various nationalities , it ranks as the world ' s fourth most densely populated sovereign state or territory . ___MASK88___ is a family of passerine birds that was part of an assemblage known as the Old World warblers . The family was a wastebin taxon with over 400 species of ___MASK67___ in over 70 genera . Advances in classification , particularly helped with molecular data , have led to the splitting out of several new families from within this group . Today the smaller family ___MASK88___ includes the typical warblers in the genus " ___MASK17___ ", the parrotbills of Asia ( formerly a separate family Paradoxornithidae ), a number of babblers formerly placed within the family Timaliidae ( which is being split ) and the wrentit , a North American ___MASK67___ that has been a longstanding taxonomic mystery .

The Communist Party of China ( CPC ) is the founding and ruling political party of the People ' s Republic of China ( PRC ). The CPC is the sole governing party of China , although it coexists alongside eight other legal parties that comprise the United Front ; these parties , however , hold no real power or independence from the CPC . It was founded in 1921 , chiefly by ___MASK5___ Duxiu and Li Dazhao . The party grew quickly , and by 1949 the CPC had driven the nationalist Kuomintang ( KMT ) government from mainland China after the Chinese Civil War , thus leading to the establishment of the People ' s Republic of China . The CPC is currently the world ' s second largest political party with a membership of 88 . 76 million as of 2016 ( while the Indian Bharatiya Janata Party appears to have remained the largest with a membership of 110 million as of the previous year , 2015 ).
