Introduction to Zoology

I. General Information about Zoology Zoology = study of animals Why study animals? 1. Learn about animals ( including humans) 2. Learn about animal interactions with each other, with other species, and with their environment

I. General Information about Zoology C. How do we study animals? Use Scientific Method: 1. Problem 2. Research 3. Hypothesis 4. Experiment 5. Results 6. Conclusions

I. General Information about Zoology D. What is scientific, what is not? Science Not Science Observable Not observable Natural laws to explain phenomena Faith, Magic Testable theories Not testable Conclusions tentative Set in stone, cannot be questioned

II. Taxonomy Definition = science of naming things & assigning them to groups

II. Taxonomy B. Why classify? Why have a classification system? 1. Single, universal name 2. Avoid confusion (be on same page) 3. Understand how living things are related to one another

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

II. Taxonomy Mountain Lion Cougar Puma (Florida) Panther Catamount Rocky Mountain resident Florida resident

II. Taxonomy D. ¿Wouldn’t it be confusing if we didn’t have a scientific name? Felis concolor = scientific name of the mountain lion Genus species

II. Taxonomy E. Binomial nomenclature System of scientific naming Developed by Carolus Linnaeus (Swedish botanist) in 1750s Two part scientific name Genus and species Must be underlined or in italics Genus capitalized, species not In Latin (dead language of scholars)

II. Taxonomy F. There are three main classification systems: 1. Binomial nomenclature 2. 3 Domain system 3. Cladistics ★ Note: Binomial nomenclature is used in this Zoology class.

2. Three Domain system All other living things

3. Cladistics

II. Taxonomy F. Example : Homo sapiens (wise man) 1. Scientific name for human beings 2. Homo = genus (capitalized & underlined) 3. sapiens = species (underlined, but NOT capitalized)

II. Taxonomy G. 7 Taxa of living things ( taxon = group) Kingdom (kings) (King Phylum (play) (Phillip) Class (chess) (Came) Order (on) (Over) Family (fine) (From) Genus (green) (Germany) Species (silk) (Saturday)

II. Taxonomy H. Kingdom is least specific, largest group I. Species is most specific, contains only one kind of organism

II. Taxonomy J. An example: Classification of humans Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Mammalia Order Primates Family Hominidae Genus Homo Species sapiens

II. Taxonomy K. ¿ What determines how something is classified? 1. DNA 2. Structure

K. ¿ What determines how something is classified? 3. Embryology & development

II. Taxonomy L. ☺There are 6 kingdoms of living things 1. Archaebacteria 2. Eubacteria 3. Protista 4. Fungi 5. Plantae 6. Animalia

II. Taxonomy M. Prokaryotic = does not have a nucleus to contain its DNA N. Eukaryotic – has a membrane–bound nucleus

II. Taxonomy N. Unicellular Prokaryotic 1. Archaebacteria –ancient bacteria 2. Eubacteria – most bacteria Eukaryotic 3. Protista – single-celled organisms O. Multicellular 4. Fungi – e.g. mushrooms 5. Plantae - plants 6. Animalia - animals
