A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized
communication through performance A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright,
confidence or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may believe them Here the participant’s tone can
consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible
by the acute listener Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture The motivation (derived) from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front How a speaker perceives the listener's
receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can (drastically) alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker Emotional health is (evidenced) in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed

Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects—an estimated 90 percent of
the world's species have scientific names As a (consequence), they are perhaps the best
group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public Hence, they are an
excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such
as diversity
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past
century is the (striking) difference in species richness between tropical and temperate
regions
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the
total number found on the British islands did not (exceed) 66, and the whole of Europe
supported only 321 This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon
basin, (tropical Asia), and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations,
even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used
synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most
familiar species It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors (generated) by imperfect
and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized
