Taxonomy – the branch of biology that names and groups organisms according to their characteristics and evolutionary history. (Holt)

Through taxonomy scientists classify organisms and assign each organism a universally acceptable name. (Prentice Hall)

Scientists Aristotle – over 2000 Plants and animals. years ago, he developed the first system of classification. He divided all living organisms into two categories: Plants and animals.

Aristotle’s Classification Scheme Plants were divided into three groups: herbs with soft stems, shrubs, and trees with a single wood stem. Animals were divided into land dwellers, water dwellers and air dwellers.

He devised a system of grouping organisms into hierarchical categories. He used structure and form of organisms (morphology) to help classify them.

Linnaeus’s Levels of Classification Linnaeus developed a system of seven levels or “taxa” (singular = taxon). The levels are grouped from the largest most inclusive group to the smallest most exclusive group.

Seven Levels of Taxonomy: DOMAIN 1- Kingdom 2- Phylum (or Division) 3- Class 4- Order 5- Family 6- Genus 7- Species

Scientific Names Linnaeus also developed a system of naming called Binomial Nomenclature in which the species name of an organism is made up of two parts: the genus name & the species identifier. Example: Grizzly bear (common name) binomial nomenclature = Ursus arctos (usually in italics, first word capitalized.)

Why do scientists avoid using common names when discussing organisms? Common names can be confusing because they may vary among languages and even among regions in a single country. Example: A cougar is a puma, is a mountain lion is a catamount is a ghost cat

Pyractomena borealis (example of scientific name) Common names: Lightning bugs Glowworms, or Fireflies (They are not really flies – they are beetles. Flies have one pair of wings, while other winged insects have two or four pairs of wings. When the name of an insect contains the word fly, such as dragonfly, or firefly, they are not flies.)

Examples of other Firefly Genera. Lamprocera – brilliant and wax-colored Microphotus – small light Macrolampis – big light Pyrogaster – fire stomach Lampyris – glowworm Pyropyma – fire butt

Sometimes different species can share the same common name: United Kingdom: Buzzard = Hawk United States: Buzzard = Vulture

Other Examples: Humans = Homo sapiens Lion = Panthera leo House cat = Felis domesticus Domesticated dog = Canis familiaris Red Maple Tree = Acer rubrum

Six Kingdom System: Archaebacteria = unicellular prokaryotes (descended from & very similar to first cells) Eubacteria = unicellular prokaryotes (most bacteria that affect you) Protists = protozoans & algae Fungi = fungi Plantae = plants Anamalia = animals

on body characteristics. Traditional classification relied primarily on body characteristics. Biologists now group organisms into categories that represent lines of evolutionary descent, as well as physical characteristics. DNA analysis is an important tool in classification science. It can be used to show how closely related organisms may be.
