Taxonomy is the field of biology that deals with the organizing living things into a hierarchy or category that show artificial/ natural and evolutionary relationships. Systematics or MODERN TAXONOMY
Why Classify? • 20 M unknown species* • 2.5 M identified • System of Biological Classification • Important features: • Universally accepted • Placement of organisms into groups has real biological meaning
Taxonomy or Systematics involves three procedures namely classification, identification and nomenclature.
Procedures in Taxonomy and Systematics • Identification • recognize organism based on… • establishment of the organisms traits • Classification • assigning arbitrary categories • based on its biological relatedness • Nomenclature • Practice of naming based on the rules of ICZN and ICBN
Taxonomy vs.Systematics • study of the theory, practice and rules of classification • naming, description and classification • study of the diversity of organisms and their natural relationships • encompasses questions of diversity and disparity
Who is the Father of Taxonomy? Carolus Linnaeus -Invented the sexual system - Published Species Plantarum and SystemaNaturae “ no man has ever transformed science in a way that I have”
How did the naming of organisms STARTED? • 16Th century • start of scientific naming • polynomial LATIN names • Why Latin? • scholarship language • dead language • Problems with Polynomial names • Differs from every scientist • organisms of the same genus (conflict)
What is the universally accepted system of naming organisms? Binomial System of Nomenclature • 2 part name • Genus and Species • Latin • Can be written in italicized or underlined format
Why is the BSN important in TAXONOMY??? Solanumcauleinermiherbaceofoliispinnatisincisis “ Solanum with smooth stem which is herbaceous and has incised pinnate leaves” TOMATO: Lycopersiconesculentum
BINOMIAL SYSTEM OF NOMENCLATURE • system of naming organisms using a two-part Latinized (or scientific) name • also known as the Linnaean system • first part: generic name (genus), second: specific or trivial name (species). • Latin name is usually printed in italics, starting with a capital letter

How many CATEGORIES (general categories) are there in the levels of classification of organisms? Seven Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.
LINNAEAN CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM • structural similarities • hierarchical • Category- each level of classification • Taxa/ taxon- specific group in each category
How did Linnaeus view species??? UNCHANGING or IMMUTABLE • described all the things that had been put to earth by the creator
Different views on species Linnaean Darwinian • Immutable and unchanging • Viewed that organisms are uniquely made • Doesn’t believe in EVOLUTION • Changing • EVOLVING • Descent with modification • Natural selection
Who defined the BIOLOGICAL SPECIES CONCEPT: A gorup of similar individuals that can usually interbreed among themselves and produce a fertile offspring. None of the above Steve Irwin Charles Darwin Carl Von Linne Ernst Mayr
CLASSFICATION is BASED on: Biochemical Cytological Embryological Rituals, habit, diet, way of living cells body parts Protein, DNA Early developmental stages Structural Behavioral
TAXONOMY is also BASED on… • Evolutionary lineages/patterns • Homologous vs. analogous structures • Fossil records
Popular Methods of Classification • Evolutionary Systematics • PheneticSystematics • CladisticSystematics
Evolutionary Systematics Ernst Mayr (1904) and George G. Simpson (1961) • reflected relatedness as well as morphological disparity (overall similarity)
PheneticSystematics (1960’s) overall similarity among organism grouped by a mathematical analysis results fail to reflect evolutionary relationships James Rohlf, Robert Sokal, and Peter Sneath delimits variation within and between populations
CladisticSystematics WilliHennig standard method of phylogenetic inference Objectives: determine the evolutionary histories express it in phylogenetic trees After knowing the overall similarities concentrate on only certain characters-those that provide evolutionary information based on the assumption that two new species are formed by splitting from a common ancestor
Which BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION SCHEMES is widely accepted today? 6 Kingdom classification 5 Kingdom classification 4 Kingdom classification 2 Kingdom classification 3 Domain system
2 KINGDOM SCHEME PLANTAE ANIMALIA
4 KINGDOM SCHEME ANIMALIA PLANTAE FUNGI MONERA
5 KINGDOM SCHEME ANIMALIA PLANTAE MONERA PROTISTA FUNGI MONERA
