The need for systems.
I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms.a. this is necessary because there are millions of organisms we haven’t classified yet.b. so far 1.7 million have been named.

The need for systems. This is why common names are not
used to classify. Scientists classify organisms into
different categories called taxa.(singular taxon).
![Page 6: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Scientific Naming Carl Linnaeus popularized a
system for naming all species in the 1750’s.
Binomial nomenclature=was his two part naming system.
Every species has a two part name:a. Homo sapienb. Felis domesticus
![Page 7: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Scientific Naming Linnaeus once said that “binomial
nomenclature is one of the greatest achievements in science.”
Carl Linne was his original name until he decided to “latinize” his name!

Rules for scientific naming:
1. No two species can have the same name.
2. Always made up of two Latin or “Latin like” terms.
3. The first word is made up of the organism’s genus.
4. The second word is the “species identifier” (the completely unique part).

Rules for scientific naming:
5. The first word should be capitalized.
6. The second word should be lowercase.
7. Both terms should be italicized.Make a scientific name for yourself:

The Linnaean System Linnaeus grouped organisms
according to their similarities in form and structure.
He categorized them into eight levels:Domain, Kingdom, Phylem, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
![Page 15: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Levels:
1. Domain- differentiates between cell type. (3 categories)
2. Kingdom-Large groups such as:plants, animals, fungi (6 categories).
3. Phylum-Exist within kingdoms. Humans in phylum chordata.
![Page 17: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Levels4. Class- subgroups of phylums.5. Order- subgroups of classes.6. Family- subgroup of orders.7. Genus-subgroup of families. Very
closely related species.8. Species- A unique group of
organisms united by their ability to breed. Also has unique characteristics.

Lets review!
1. Why do biologist use the classification system?
2. What is the naming system called?3. How many domains and kingdoms
are there?4. What kingdom do humans reside
in?

MODERN SYSTEMATICS 18.2
I. Traditional Systematics II. Phylogenetics III. Cladistics IV. Inferring Evolutionary
Relatedness
![Page 20: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I. Traditional Systematics Scientists traditionally have used
similarities in appearance and structure to group organisms
EXAMPLE: Ungulate Mammals
![Page 21: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
BUT, this approach has proven problematic b/c some organisms LOOK similar but turn out to be DISTANTLY related
EXAMPLE: birds were thought to be a completely separate group, unrelated to reptiles(this is a Norfolk Island green parrot)
![Page 22: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Norfolk Island- off the northeast coast of Australia
Fossil evidence now shows that birds are descended from a subgroup of dinosaurs (reptiles) called theropods
![Page 23: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Systematics is the revision of classification and procedures. This is necessary as more (fossils) are discovered
EXAMPLE of a FOSSIL: Conifer plant fossil found in Thompson Springs, Utah
![Page 24: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
II. Phylogenetics Grouping organisms by similarity is
often assumed to reflect phylogeny, but inferring phylogeny is complex in practice.
PHYLOGENY=the ancestral relationships between species
![Page 25: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
EXAMPLE: Modern phylogenetic tree that hypothesizes the relationships between several groups
![Page 26: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Misleading similarities-not all similar characteristics came from the same ancestor
EXAMPLE: The wings of insects and the wings of birds did not evolve from the same CA (common ancestor)
* Insects had wings long before birds*

Judging relatedness- are some characteristics more important than others?
Different scientists have different answers!
young lady or old lady???

III. Cladistics Cladistic analysis is an OBJECTIVE
way to select the most likely phylogeny among a given set of organisms.
Cladistics is a method of analysis that infers phylogenies by careful comparisons of shared characters.
![Page 29: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Comparing Characters: ancestral character/derived character
Seeds:
Shared by all living conifers
Flowers: shared only by flowering plants
This is a “meat flower” found in Indonesia that has a scent of rotting meat…
Why????

Constructing Cladograms-All groups that arise from one point belong in a CLADE Each CLADE is usually compared with
an OUTGROUPCLADE

IV. Inferring Evolutionary Relatedness Biologists compare many kinds of
evidence and apply logic carefully in order to infer phylogenies.
Morphology refers to the physical structure or anatomy of organisms We can compare morphology to
determine relationships

What other animal’s morphology can we compare to this horse’ morphology????
![Page 33: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Molecular evidence includes DNA, RNA, and proteins that can be compared to infer phylogenies
The principle of parsimony holds that the simplest explanation for something is the most reasonable
![Page 34: 18.1 Classification. The need for systems. I. Taxonomy- the science of describing, naming and classifying organisms. a. this is necessary because there](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56649d085503460f949da140/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Given 2 possible cladograms, the one with the fewest changes is preferred
