Classification
2
Aristotle 384 BC Classified organisms as either plants or animals
3
Carolus Linnaeus 1707-1778 Classification system
Taxonomic groups of related organisms Binomial nomenclature (two names) Homo sapiens Dermacentor andersoni
4
Taxonomic Groups
6
Classification of Man Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Mammalia
Order Primates Family Hominidae Genus Homo Species Homo sapiens
7
Species “Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding populations, which are reproductively isolated from other such groups.” Reproductively isolated group Ernst Mayr
8
Different Species
10
* * Archaea
11
Kingdom Monera or Eubacteria
Single celled Prokaryotic Make or absorb food Cell wall peptidoglycan
12
Kingdom Archaea Single celled Prokaryotic Make or absorb food DNA
Similar to Eukaryotic Cell wall Pseudopeptidoglycan or protein only
13
Kingdom Protista Single celled Eukaryotic Ingest or produce food
14
Kingdom Fungi Multicellular Eukaryotic Cell wall Chitin Absorb food
15
Kingdom Plantae Multicellular Eukaryotic Cell wall Produce food
Cellulose Produce food photosynthesis
16
Kingdom Animalia Multicellular Eukaryotic No cell wall Ingest food
Motile
17
Terminology Classification Taxonomy Systematics Phylogeny
Assigning organisms to different catagories based on their relationship Taxonomy The science of naming organisms Systematics Determining evolutionary relationships of organisms Phylogeny Evolutionary history
18
Cladogram Evolutionary relationship of a group of organisms
Each clad (group) share something in common Ancestral traits are the oldest Derived traits evolved later
19
Cladogram for Transportation
Wheels are the most ancestral Wings are the most derived
20
Construct a Cladogram
21
Gorilla Four limbs Fur Lost tail
22
Tiger Four limbs Fur Tail
23
Lizard Four limbs Tail
24
Fish Tail
25
Chimpanzee Four limbs Fur Lost tail
26
Clad With 4 Limbs
27
Clad With Fur
28
Clad With No Tail
29
Characteristics for Constructing Cladogram
Tail is the most ancestral Four limbs is the oldest derived trait Fur is a later derived trait Loss of tail is the most derived trait
30
Gorilla Chimpanzee Tiger Lizard Fish Tail Lost Fur Four Limbs
31
Gorilla Tail? How do we know the gorilla lost its tail?
32
Gorilla’s Vestigial Tail
Human Gorilla
33
Synapomorphy A derived character shared by two or more groups.
Fur is a synapomorphy for the various groups of mammals. Synapomorphies are used to determine evolutionary relationships
34
Phylogenetic Tree Shows evolutionary relationships
More historical than cladogram
35
Echinodermata Uniramia Chelicerata Chordata Crustacea Protochordates
Lophophorates Crustacea Protochordates Arthropoda Annelida Hemichordata Mollusca Other pseudocoelomates Nemertea Platyhelminthes Nematoda Ctenophora Cnidaria Mesozoa Placozoa Sarcomastigophora Ciliophora Porifera Apicomplexa Microspora Myxozoa
36
Fish Amphibians Reptiles Birds Mammals
37
Fish Fins Vertebrae Simple egg Homodont teeth
38
Amphibian 4 limbs Vertebrae Simple egg Homodont teeth
39
Reptile 4 limbs Vertebrae Amniotic egg Homodont teeth
40
Bird 4 limbs Vertebrae Amniotic egg No teeth Feathers Endothermic
41
Mammal 4 limbs Vertebrae Amniotic egg Heterodont teeth Fur or hair
Endothermic
42
Birds Mammals Reptile Amphibian Fish Four Limbs Amniotic Egg Endothermic Fur Feathers Vertebrae
43
Synapomorphies Birds Mammals Reptile Feathers Amphibian Fur Fish
Four Limbs Amniotic Egg Endothermic Fur Feathers Vertebrae Synapomorphies Four limbs for amphibians, reptiles, birds & mammals Amniotic egg for reptiles, birds & mammals
44
Symplesiomorphy Character shared by a number of groups
Inherited from ancestors older than the last common ancestor. Symplesiomorphies are not helpful in determining evolutionary relationships
45
Symplesiomorphies Birds Mammals Reptile Feathers Amphibian Fur Fish
Four Limbs Amniotic Egg Endothermic Fur Feathers Vertebrae Symplesiomorphies Vertebrae for amphibians, reptiles, birds & mammals Four limbs for reptiles, birds & mammals
46
Monophyletic A group of all the descendants of a common ancestor
The common ancestor is in the group Example: Mammalia Ancestor was a mammal like reptile
47
Paraphyletic A group of descendants of a common ancestor
Common ancestor is in the group Not all descendants are included Example: Reptiles Does not include birds and mammals
48
Polyphyletic A group that has some similarities
Common ancestor is in not in the group Not all descendants are included Example: Flying vertebrates
