Classification of Living things
The world is filled with millions of different organisms. To study how they interact, we need to name them and organize them into groups This grouping and naming process is called taxonomy or classification.
8
Early Attempts of Classification Using Common Names
A big problem was that some organisms had different names depending on the region. A puma, mountain lion, cougar, catamount and a panther are all the same animal. And these are just the English names.
9
Carolus Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778) was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature.
10
Carolus Linnaeus His modern taxonomy system had two kingdoms as the largest taxa: Plant Kingdom and Animal Kingdom
11
Two Kingdoms Plantae Animalia
12
However, after Linnaeus set up the system, it has changed
However, after Linnaeus set up the system, it has changed. Our modern system has six kingdoms that have been divided up into domains.

Changing Number of Kingdoms
Kingdoms and Domains Changing Number of Kingdoms 1700’s – two kingdoms: Plant and Animal Late 1800’s – three kingdoms: Plant, Animal, Protists 1950’s – Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plant, and Animal 1990’s – Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plant, and Animal 6 KINGDOMS
15
Now we also have a taxa called a domain.
A domain is used to show the major differences between some of the oldest organisms.
16
2 Prokaryote Domains 1 Eukaryote Domain
17
Binomial Nomenclature
Carolus Linnaeus Binomial Nomenclature Always two names for every organism Always written in italics. Capitalize the first name and use lower case for second For example, white oak is Quercus alba employees.csbsju.edu
18
Binomial Nomenclature
Has seven levels containing all organisms. Each level is a taxon making several taxa
19
Kingdoms There are six kingdoms:
A grizzly bear belongs to the Kingdom Animalia
20
Includes all animals on the planet.
21
Phylum Each Kingdom is divided into groups called Phyla (plural for phylum) Grizzly bears are in the phylum Chordata which means it has a backbone.
22
Includes all animals with a vertebrate.
23
Class Each Phylum is divided into groups called Classes.
Grizzly bears are in the Class Mammalia or mammal
24
Includes all mammals
25
Order Each Class is divided into groups called Orders.
Grizzly bears belong to the Order Carnivora or carnivores.
26
Includes all carnivores.
27
Family Each Order is divided into groups called Families.
A grizzly bear is in the Family Ursidae which means “bear-like” animals
28
Includes all “bear-like”
mammals.
29
Genus Each Family is divided into groups called Genera (plural for genus) A grizzly bear belongs to the Genus Ursus which means “true bear.”
30
Includes all true bears.
31
Species The Genus is divided into all the individual Species. This is the most specific taxon. The grizzly bear belongs to the species arctos. Therefore the binomial nomenclature for this bear is Ursus arctos.
36
Every organism that has been discovered is a member of each taxa level.
37
Some species can be divided into subspecies: division of species; usually arises as a consequence of geographical isolation within a species but speciation has not yet occurred.
