1. Basic Classification - Zoology

2. Classification of Organisms Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

3. Kingdomsphyla Kingdoms are divided into groups called phyla Phylaclasses Phyla are subdivided into classes Classesorders Classes are subdivided into orders Ordersfamilies Orders are subdivided into families Families genera Families are divided into genera Generaspecies Genera contain closely related species Species is unique Thus, Categories within Kingdoms

4. How to remember? n Ken Poured Coffee On Fred’s Good Shirt. KP CO F GS n Or how about this one...... n King Phillip Calls Opal For Great Soup. Easier for your brain to remember one sentence that 8 individual words

5. We only know a fraction of all the organisms that exist or have existed on Earth. Taxonomists give a unique scientific name to each species they know about whether it’s alive today or extinct. Scientific Names

6. n The scientific name comes from one of two “dead” languages – Latin or ancient Greek. Why use a dead language? They are static – don’t change

7. So Why Use a Scientific Name? Maybe if we use an example using an animal you know.

8. Mountain Lion

9. Devil Cat

10. Ghost Cat

11. Screaming Cat

12. Puma

13. Florida Panther

14. Cougar

15. There are at least 50 common names for the animal shown on the previous 7 slides. Common names vary according to region. Soooo……why use a scientific name? It is unique for that organism!

16. Scientific Names n Helps eliminate confusion as to which organism you are dealing with. n Thus the Mountain Lion is known as... Puma concolor

17. Scientific Names n ManHomo sapiens n DogCanis familiaris n White Oak TreeQuercus alba n House CatFelis cattus The Rules of the Name n Always binominal (2 parts) –Genus and species n Underline or italics n Capitalize genus, species lower case

18. Five Kingdom System Can you name them? n Monera n Protista n Fungi n Animalia n Plantae

19. Small Things in All Kingdoms But Mostly Protists and Monera

20. Big Things in 3 Kingdoms

21. Monera Kingdom n Unicellular n Unicellular,microscopic n No nucleus –Prokaryotic n Most Heterotrophic –Saprophytic or parasitic –Bacteria –Bacteria, Archaea n Some Autotrophic –Cyanobacteria

22. Protista Kingdom n Generally single celled n Generally single celled; microscopic n Nucleus present –Eukaryotic n Autotrophic or heterotrophic AmoebaEuglena

23. Fungi Kingdom n Generally multi celled n Nucleus present –Eukaryotic n Made up of hyphae n No root, stem and leaf n Heterotrophic –Saprophytic or parasitic n Sessile –not move n Reproduce by forming spores

24. Plantae Kingdom n Generally multi celled n Nucleus present –Eukaryotic n Autotrophic –photosynthesis n Sessile –Not move n Can be divided into.. –Non-flowering plants –Flowering plants

25. Animalia Kingdom n Generally multi celled n Nucleus present –Eukaryotic n Heterotrophic n Mobile n Divided into 9 major phyla –Need to be able to identify by sight

26. Animal Kingdom Continued: n If I have a backbone I am a: –VERTEBRATE If I do not have a backbone I am an: - INVERTEBRATE

27. 1. Porifera (Sponges) Don't have mouths pores in their outer walls have tiny pores in their outer walls through which water is drawn. Cells in the sponge walls Cells filter foodfrom the water Cells filter food from the water Water is pumped through the body unidirectionaly

28. 2.Coelenterata / Cnidaria Comb jellies, corals, jellyfish, sea anemones, sea pens, and freshwater hydra. Radially symmetrical One opening One opening Mouth is surrounded by tentacles Mouth is surrounded by tentacles that are used to capture food, and opens into a cavity which is used for digestion. Specialized stinging cells

29. 3. Platyhelmethes (Flatworm) Long and flattened body Free living or parasitic One opening

30. Nematode 4. Nematode (Roundworms) Long, cylindrical and body Most of them are parasites

31. 5. Annelida (segmented worms) Long and segmented body Have chaetae for locomotion Two openings (mouth & anus)

32. 6. Molluscs Snails, slugs, squid, octopi, and bivalves Softun-segmented body Soft and un-segmented body Most covered by a hard shell

33. Arthropoda 7. Arthropoda Segmented bodySegmented body exoskeleton pairs of jointed legsHave a hard exoskeleton and several pairs of jointed legs Divided into 4 classes - Crustaceans - Arachnids - Myriapods - Insects

34. 8. Echinodermata Starfish, Brittle Stars, Sea Urchins & Sea Cucumbers 5-radiaMarine animals with 5-radial plan body external spines Have external spines

35. 9. Chordata n Notochord n Bilateral symmetry vertebrates n Most vertebrates

36. Which kingdom does each organism belong to?

37. The Insect Orders n Most diverse group of animals on the planet –Arthropods – 3 body segments & exoskeleton

38. The Insect Orders Know These n 1.Orthoptera (grasshoppers & crickets) n 2.Coleoptera (beetles) n 3. Lepidoptera (butterflies & moths) n 4. Diptera (flies & mosquitoes) n 5. Hymenoptera (ants, wasps & bees) n 6. Hemiptera (true bugs) n 7. Homoptera (aphids & cicadas) n 8. Odonata (dragonflies) n 9. Isoptera (termites)

39. 1. Orthoptera (grasshoppers & crickets) n Two pairs of wings n Hind wing is membranous –held under the forewings when at rest. n Mandibulate mouth parts n Large compound eyes, n Hind legs are elongated for jumping. Katydid Grasshopper Cricket

40. The Common Field Cricket Ovipositor – for laying eggs

41. 2. Coleopetra (beetles) n Hardened shield- like forewings protect flying wings n 3 segments usually easy to ID. Lady Bug Japanese Beetle Giant Click Beetle

42. 3. Lepidoptera (butterflies & moths) n 2 pairs of large showy wings n Caterpillar n Butterflies –daytime n Moths –mostly night Monarch Butterfly Sulfur or Cabbage Butterfly Skipper Butterfly Hawk Moth
