1 TAXONOMY & CLASSIFICATION

2 SCIENTIFIC NAMES Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms and assigning each an official name Early methods described physical characteristics in great detail Post Oak Tree - “Oak with deeply divided leaves that have no hairs on the undersides and no teeth around their leaf edges”

3 Our current classification system is based on the work of Carl Linneaus. Binomial Nomenclature- a two word naming system using the genus and species names (Post Oak - Quercus stellata)

4 LINNAEUS’S SYSTEM (7 LEVELS) Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus species Big Small

5 HOW TO REMEMBER? Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species King Pedro Cut Open Five Green Snakes Katy Perry Can Order Fresh Garden Salsa Killer Piranhas Can Often Find Good Sushi

6 Grizzly bearBlack bearGiant panda Red foxAbert squirrel Coral snake Sea star KINGDOM Animalia PHYLUM Chordata CLASS Mammalia ORDER Carnivora FAMILY Ursidae GENUS Ursus SPECIES arctos

7 Psychrolutes marcidus Mitsukurina owstoni When written the genus is always capitalized and the species is not.

8 WHY DOES IT HELP? CC - Taxonomy Taxonomy & Systematics

Why Classify? What’s in a name?  In order to name and group organisms in a logical manner we must arrange them according to similarities and differences.
