Learning OutcomesBy the end of this week, you should: recognise the value of identification and scientific
naming (nomenclature). develop knowledge of the principles of
classification. recognise that biological classification contains a
hierarchy of levels. become aware that taxonomic systems are
subject to change. recognise features typically used in constructing
major taxonomic groups.

What do scientists use to classify organisms?Whole specimens
Actual, image or verbal descriptionBits and pieces
Microscopic – plant cell walls, leaf vein patterns, pollen grains, seed shape
Macroscopic – feathers, hair, teeth, shells, fruitsMolecular – genetic material
Indirect evidenceTrack, burrows, nests, scratchings, scats,
calls/songsReference collections – herbaria, museumsKeys

Scientific namingBased on Latin or Greek words – pages 227, 228
Two part names (binomial) – internationalLinnaeus’ binomial naming system
1758SystematicFirst part = generic (which genus it belongs
to), always begins with a capital letterSecond part = specific name (which species
it belongs to), lower caseInformative about how closely related
organisms are

Why is scientific naming important?Universal, no matter what languageCommon names can be reused for different
speciesAn indication of relatednessCommon names may be misleading –
suggesting relationships that are not valid

What is classification?Naming and describing.Organising closely related species into
groups.Combining these groups to form larger,
more inclusive groups.

What is a species? Pages 230-231
Use of structural similarities?The ability to interbreed?The use of chromosomes and DNA?

Principles of classificationSeparating into groupsBased on the presence of absence of
various featuresUses a series of decisions in a dichotomous
key
![Page 11: Classification Chapter 8. Learning Outcomes By the end of this week, you should: recognise the value of identification and scientific naming (nomenclature)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f325503460f94c4dfa7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Features of classificationClassification schemes can vary depending n their
function.Usefulness of the scheme depends on the criteria
selected:Objective (not subjective) – the same meaning for
different people = reproducible and predictable results
Meaningful (not arbitrary) – conveys useful information
Schemes are not fixed, but can change when new information becomes available.
Schemes can be single or multi-level (hierarchical).

Benefits of classificationEasier to deal with smaller numbers of
groups than very large number of separate items.
Provides information about relationships between organisms.
New items can be added in a predictable way.
Information can be easily retrieved.Predictions can be made about an item
based on its classification.

Hierarchical SystemLevels of classification are called taxa (sing. taxon)The closer the evolutionary relationship between two
organisms, the more similar their classification.The hierarchical system of classification:

CladisticsIdentifying the relationships between
various organisms and deciding which organisms should be included in particular groups.
“How many derived features do they share?”
Primitive characters – features that were present in a common ancestor, and so appear in all members of the group.
Derived characters – advanced or modified features that evolved later and appear in some members of the group.
![Page 16: Classification Chapter 8. Learning Outcomes By the end of this week, you should: recognise the value of identification and scientific naming (nomenclature)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f325503460f94c4dfa7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CladogramsShows the evolutionary relationship
between particular organisms based on the derived characters they share.
A fork/branching point appears whenever a derived feature appears in some members of the group.

Classifications can changeBased on further study.DNA and protein sequencing can show
differences.
