TAXONOMY The branch of biology concerned with the classification of organisms into groups based on similarities of structure, origin, etc.
Why classify things? Organize Categorize Order _______________________ _______________________ _______________________ Supermarkets
Dear King Philip Came Over For Good Soup
Taxonomic classification of organisms (Linnean System) D omain K ingdom P hylum C lass O rder F amily G enus S pecies
Each KINGDOM is further classified into more specific groups, much like addresses are organized into smaller categories. Kingdom Country Phylum Region Class Province Order Town Family Neighborhood Genus Street Species House Number
KINGDOM PHYLUM CLASS ORDER FAMILY GENUS SPECIES
Scientific name
Scientific name
Linneaus 1750 Grouped living things by their PHYSICAL TRAITS Grouped things into KINGDOMS Gave all living things a two-part name Provided a ‘universal language’ for scientists when identifying organisms BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE Two Name Naming System
To write the scientific name The binomial name consists of a genus name and specific epithet. The scientific names of species are italicized . The genus name is always capitalized and is written first; the specific epithet follows the genus name and is not capitalized. There is no exception to this.
Malus domestica
Mangifera indica
Canis lupus familiaris
Musa Acuminata

LINNAEUS' SYSTEM HAS LIMITATIONS Since the Linnaean system focuses on physical similarities alone…molecular studies (genetic sequences) are not considered. Genetic similarities between two species are more likely than physical similarities to show ___________________________________ COMMON ANCESTORY
CLASSIFICATION TODAY Carl Woese Revealed genetic differences in the DNA sequences of organisms Classified organisms into 3 DOMAINS BACTERIA ARCHAEA EUKARYA
Cladogram An evolutionary tree that suggests how species may be related Over evolutionary time, certain traits in a group of species, or clade, stay the same. Other traits change.
Derived Characters Derived characters are traits that are shared by some species but not by others The more closely related species are, the more derived characters they will share Derived characters are shown as hash marks
Nodes Each place where a branch splits is called a node. Nodes represent the most recent common ancestor shared by a clade.
What do the house cat and the turtle have in common? What does the leopard have in common with the wolf? What organisms are most closely related?
______ Dogs belong to the order Felidae . ______ A fox belongs to the phylum Arthropoda . 3. ______ Snakes belong to the phylum Reptilia . 4. ______ Lions belong to the class mammalia 5. ______ All arthropods belong to the Class Insecta 6. ______ All rodents belong to the phylum chordata . 7. ______ All amphibians belong to the class reptilia . 8. _______ All primates are mammals. 9. _______ The class mammalia includes dogs, cats and rats. 10. ______ A lion belongs to the genus Felis . 11. ______ All mammals are primates. 12. ______ Insects and lobsters are arthropods. In each set, circle the pair that is most closely related. 13. snakes & crocodiles | snakes & frogs 14. rats & cats | cats & dogs 15. insects & lobsters | insects & birds 16. lions & tigers | lions & cougars 17. foxes & rats | foxes & dogs 18. cats & dogs | cats & lions 19. List (use species name) all the animals pictured that belong in the Felidae family. 20. The image does not show orders of insects. Suggest three categories of insects that would likely be grouped into orders. Hint: think about what kind of insects there are. Add your three categories to the image. Bonus: Create an addition to the image given the following information. a. Mollusks are divided into three classes: Class Cephalopoda (squids), Class Gastropoda (snails), Class Bivalve (clams and oysters) b. Cephalapods have a few orders, one of which is Octopoda (octopus) and and another is Teuthida (squids) c. The scientific name for the common octopus is Octopus vulgaris . d. The scientific name for the common european squid is Loligo vulgaris INTERPRETING TAXONOMY GRAPHS

DO YOU HAVE “CLASS”? What are 2 reasons we classify things? Who was the person who named organisms with a two-part naming system? On what one aspect was the second classification system based? What is the Latin term we use in our naming system to classify/identify organisms? What are the 7 groups of classification, (from largest to smallest)? Which group is the most broad? The most specific? What two groups make up the scientific names of all organisms? *For order / To find things more easily *To show how things are similar Carolus Linnaeus Specific Traits Binomial Nomenclature Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species *Kingdom *Species Genus and species
