Classification The grouping of objects or information based on similar characteristics

Taxonomy Branch of biology dealing with the identification, classification, and nomenclature (naming) of organisms.

How to Organize? Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.) Plants Animals Trees Land Shrubs Air Herbs Water Problem: Birds, bats, and insects were grouped together

Classification based on physical and structural similarities Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) Created binomial nomenclature (2 word naming system) 1st word = Genus (genera if plural) = a group of similar species 2nd word = species Scientific name = Genus + species e.g. Homo sapiens

Writing Species Names Rules for writing species names Latin is the language of scientific names (Latin is no longer spoken, so it does not change) Italicize in print and underline when hand written 1st letter of the Genus is CAPITALIZED & 1st letter of species is lowercase

Writing Species Names Canis latrans = Coyote Canis lupus = Grey wolf

What are the names of these? Canis familiaris Felis catus Lynx rufus Panthera onca Smilodon fatali What are the names of these?

Canis familiaris domestic dog Felis catus domestic cat Lynx rufus bobcat Panthera onca jaguar Smilodon fatali saber cat
