There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

"The research team, which sequenced the genomes of 32 representative tiger specimens, classified tigers into six genetically distinct subspecies. Researchers say the six subspecies include the Bengal, Amur, South China, Sumatran, Indochinese and Malayan tigers. Three other subspecies are extinct."

That article is based on this from October 2018, but here you can see only summary if not willing to pay.

https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(18)31214-4?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0960982218312144%3Fshowall%3Dtrue

Amongst other things, do they mean that the Caspian tiger is a different subspecies to the Amur tiger, despite being almost genetically identical?

Full study wasn´t visible yet. But that article was quite clear and also experts/scientists quite well known and respected. I just linked that information and sources so, that everyone can check themselves.
