Lecture 022 Classification of Life
Taxonomy • The science of classifying organisms. • Tells us about the degree of relation between different organisms
Taxonomy • Developed by Swedish biologist Carolus Linnaeus (1707 — 1778). • Binomial naming system
What are some of the ways we can classify animals?
Biological Kingdoms • 2 Kingdoms • Traditional view plants animals
Systematics- studies diversity of life • Study and classification of organisms with the goal of reconstructing their evolutionary history
Plantae Fungi Animalia • Protista Monera Biological Kingdoms • 5 Kingdoms • Whittaker, 1969
Five kingdom system: Monera Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia Six kingdom system: Eu- bacteria Archae-bacteria Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia Three domain system: Eu- bacteria Archae-bacteria E U K A R Y A Eight kingdom system: Eu- bacteria Archae-bacteria Plantae Fungi Animalia Archezoa Protista Chromista Biological Kingdoms
Six kingdom system: Monera Eu- bacteria Archae-bacteria Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia
Classification: Six kingdom system : Eubacteria Archaebacteria E. coli Cyanobacteria Protista Paramecium Diatom Slime mold Plantae Fungi Animalia
Plantae Fungi Animalia • Protista Monera (Eubacteria & Archaebacteria) Primary Grouping Criterion Cellular complexity Eukaryotic Prokaryotic
Other Grouping Criteria • Single-celled vs. multicellular • Mode of nutrition • absorption • photosynthesis • ingestion • Plantae Fungi Animalia • Protista Monera Note: Criteria can overlap
Other Grouping Criteria • Mode of Reproduction • sexual • asexual • Respiratory System • gas exchange across skin • lungs • gills
Other Grouping Criteria • Skeleton • internal/external • bone/cartilage/chitin… • Circulatory System • none • open/closed
Phylogentic Relationships of Animals Platyhelminthes Porifera Mollusca Chordata Arthropoda Annelida Cnideria Nematoda Echinodermata pseudocoelom segmentation acoelom Protostome: schizocoelem Deuterostomes: eucoelom radial symmetry bilateral symmetry no true tissues true tissue Ancestral Protist
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Keep Plates Clean Or Family Gets Sick Animalia Chordata Actinopterygii Perciformes Pomocentridae Amphirprion ocellaris
Tiger Classification Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Mammalia Order Carnivora Family Felidae Genus Panthera Species tigris
Biological Nomenclature A species is both defined by its genus name and specific name. Ex.Panthera tigris Panthera- genus name tigris- species name
Lion, Leopard & Tiger Panthera leo Panthera pardus Panthera tigris
Biological Species Organisms that are genetically similar, and have ability to interbreed and produce viable, fertile offspring
Subspecies Might interbreed if a barrier or other challenge was removed (such as distance). Hawaiian endemic snails (kahuli)
