Classification is the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities

Classification is also known as taxonomy

Taxonomists are scientists that identify & name organisms

1. Binomial nomenclature

2. Taxon Groups (hierarchal system of classifying organisms)

3. Phylogony & Cladistics (classifying based on evolutionary histories of animals)

Why classify?

1. Single, universal name1. Single, universal name

2. Avoid confusion 2. Avoid confusion (be on same page)(be on same page)

3. Understand how living 3. Understand how living things are related things are related to one anotherto one another

• System of scientific naming using Latin (dead language of scholars)• Developed by Carolus Linnaeus (“Father of Taxonomy 1750s)• Two word scientific name consists of Genus

and species• Genus name capitalized, species name not • Must be underlined when written or printed

in italics ex. Ursus maritimus or Ursus maritimus

Which TWO are more closely related?

E.g. What are the FIVE common names of this animal?

It would be very confusing for scientists if we didn’t have a scientific name to research and talk about the animal.

Felis concolor = scientific name of the

mountain lionGenus species

Homo sapiens(wise man)

1. Scientific name for human beings

2. Homo = genus (capitalized &

underlined) 3. sapiens = species

(underlined, but NOT

capitalized)

Taxon ( taxa-plural) is a category into which related organisms are placed•There is a hierarchy of groups (taxa) from broadest to most specific•Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species

• Kingdom is least specific, largest group

• Species is most specific, contains only one kind of organism

• Probably the 1st cells to evolve• Live in HARSH environments• Found in:

– Sewage Treatment Plants– Thermal or Volcanic Vents– Hot Springs or Geysers that are acid– Very salty water (Dead Sea; Great Salt

Lake)

Means of organizing species based on common relationships : Family tree that shows evolutionary relationships that are thought to exist among organisms.

• Based on embryological development, chromosome similarity, biochemical and morphological similarities, and gene sequence data

Cladistics:

• Type of phylogenetic classification that establishes evolutionary relationships based on derived characters. Derived characters: Features that evolved

only within the group being examined Ex: Feathers on birds

• The more features organisms have in common, the closer the relatedness of the organisms in evolutionary history
