Biological Classification

Why classify? Humans have developed classification systems in order to make sense of the abundant biological diversity that exists in nature.

Taxonomy …the identification, naming, and classification of species Taxonomists spend their time searching for previously unknown organisms, determining their relationships to known organisms, and giving them names.

Chordata Panthera The Linnaean System of Classification The system is hierarchical. –Larger groups are more general and smaller groups are more specific. –For example, the phylum Chordata includes both lions and lionfish, but the genus Panthera includes only lions.

Seven Levels of Taxonomic Classification Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Kingdom, Phylum…what? An easy way to remember the classification levels: “Kansas Predators Catch Old Furry Grey Squirrels” Try to make up your own!

Seven Levels of Taxonomic Classification for the… Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Grizzly Bear

Kingdom The most general of the seven levels. Traditionally, biologists have recognized five different kingdoms: Monerans, Protists, Fungi, Plants, Animals

Phylum (plural: phyla) Each kingdom is subdivided into smaller, more specific groups called phyla.

Class Each phylum is subdivided into smaller groups called classes.

Order Each class is subdivided into smaller groups called orders.

Family Each order is subdivided into smaller groups called families.

Genus (plural: genera) Each family is subdivided into smaller groups called genera.

Species Each genus is subdivided into smaller groups called species. The species is the most specific level of classification.

?

Scientific Names The scientific name (binomial) of an organism contains two parts— the name of the genus and the name of the species.

Writing Scientific Names The rules for writing scientific names: -CAPITALIZE the first letter of the genus name. -Do not capitalize the species name. -Both names must be underlined or italicized. Example: human = Homo sapiens

The Linnaean System of Classification The system is phylogenetic. –It is meant to reflect the evolutionary interrelatedness among groups. –For example, the grey wolf and the dog both are placed in the genus Canis because of their close evolutionary relationship. –Homologous structures are the clues used to assess how closely organisms are related.

A nested hierarchy is the name given to the hierarchical structure of "groups within groups" used to classify organisms. This pattern reflects evolution by common descent.

Cladograms A cladogram is a phylogenetic tree with branch points defined by shared homologous structures of organisms in a particular branch (clade). ONEZOOM
