Taxonomy • Linnaeus – Binomial Nomenclature • Study of naming and classifying organisms
Phylogeny • Classification based on evolutionary history • Phylogenetic Trees
Cladistic Analysis • Cladograms – based on order in time things branch (dichotomous branching)
Cladistic Analysis • Homologies – similar due to evolution • Analogies – similar due to environment • Convergent Evolution
Cladistic Analysis • Monophyletic – ancestor and all the descendents • Paraphyletic – ancestor and some of the descendents • Polyphyletic – multiple ancestors
Cladistic Analysis • Primitive characteristic – ancestral (outgroup) • Derived characteristic – unique to clade
Cladistics and Taxonomy • Clade patterns are used to place species into a hierarchy
Parsimony • Simplest answer is probably correct
Pitfalls • Analogy vs. Homology
Domain: Archaea • Carl Woese – Prokaryotic cell but similar to Eukaryotes in DNA replication and Protein synthesis
Domain: Eukarya • Protista – kingdom divided into many different kingdoms
Phylum: Porifera • No true Tissue • Choanocytes – collar cells
Phylum: Cnidaria • Radial Symmetry • Nematocysts – Stinging cells
Acoelomates Flatworms Phylum: Platyhelminthes
Phylum: Nematoda • Pseudocoelomates • Roundworms
Phylum: Mollusca • Protostomes • Soft and unsegmented • Radula
Phylum: Annelida • Protostomes • Soft and segmented
Phylum: Arthropoda • Protostomes • Hard and Segmented • Jointed feet
Phylum: Echinodermata • Deuterostomes • Water-vascular system • Secondary Radial Symmetry
Phylum: Chordata • Deuterostome • Notochord • Hollow, Dorsal Nerve Cord • Post Anal Tail • Pharyngeal Gill Slits
