3. Taxonomy The science of naming and classifying organisms Taxonomy is described sometimes as a science and sometimes as an art, but really it’s a battleground.” ~Bill Bryson Why is having a classification system important?

4. History of Taxonomy  Aristotle: 2,000 years ago grouped all living things into two groups  Plants and Animals 1700’s Polynomials: biologists added descriptive phrases to the genus name of the species. Biologists created different names for each species. Apis pubescens, thorace subgriseo, Abdomine fusco, pedibus posticis Glabis, untrinque margine ciliatus

5. History of Taxonomy  1750’s Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus created a simple system for naming organisms  Binomial nomenclature: two-word Latin naming system for each species  Universally adopted, most species Linnaeus named still have the same two-part name Apis mellifera

6. Scientific Names  Latin  2 part name  Binomial nomenclature  First name  Genus: taxonomic category containing similar species  Second name  Species Carcharodon carcharias

7. Guidelines: Scientific names  First letter of first name is capitalized  Can abbreviate using first letter of genus name  Underlined or italicized  Second word of name is lowercase  Underlined or italicized  Every organism has its own unique name

8. Importance of Scientific Names  Gives biologists a common way of communicating, regardless of their native language  Common Names  Are fine, but scientists need a more exact method  Some common names consists of many species European robin Erithacus rubicula American robin Turdus migratorius Skunk Pole cat

11. Classification Groups  Domain: Contains Kingdoms  Archaea  Bacteria  Eukarya  Kingdom: Contains Phylum

12. Human’s Classification  Domain: Eukarya  Kingdom: Animalia  Phylum: Chordata  Class: Mammalia  Order: Primates  Family: Hominidae  Genus: Homo  Species: sapiens

13. Dichotomous Key  a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world, such as trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish. Keys consist of a series of choices that lead the user to the correct name of a given item. "Dichotomous" means "divided into two parts". Therefore, dichotomous keys always give two choices in each step.

14. Basis for Classification  Structural similarities  Chemical Composition  Genetics

15. What is a Species?  Biological species  Group of interbreeding, or possibly interbreeding, natural populations  Must produce fertile offspring  Hybrids can result if 2 populations are genetically similar (fertile)  Example:  Wolf and dog = hybrid  Wheat and rye = triticale

16. Hybrids  Horse and donkey  Hybrid = mule  Sterile  New species  New species are being discovered everyday!
