Taxonomy •Science of classification (grouping things) –Process of classifying biodiversity based on evolutionary relationships –Means to organize biological diversity –Groups and names organisms based on different characteristics
I'm looking for a downloadable list of all known (or better said, online documented) species in this straightforward format, as an example the European Frog: Kingdom: Animalia Division: Chordata
Animal Kingdom NOTES: • You can use these as single pages, or you may want to cut and tape them into one very long chart to hang on a wall (so you can see the entire kingdom at once). • Notice that the classification categories (phyla, class, order, family) are not only typed in
Our science of taxonomy (“arrange-ment law”) produces a formal system for naming and grouping species to communicate this order. Animals that have very recent common ancestry share many features in common and are grouped most closely in our taxonomic system.
For example, the phylum Chordata is broken down into several classes, including Aves (birds), Reptilia (reptiles), Amphibia (amphibians), Mammalia (mammals) and several others. The next category is the Order. Each class is made up of one or more orders.
10 paź 2013 · and an order, which taxon would have greater biodiversity? Why? Taxons are ordered by increasing similarity and specificity, therefore a phylum would exhibit more biodiversity than an order.
Taxonomy: Who is in my family? In this lesson, we will find out more about how organisms are classified into various groups by learning how to use a dichotomous key to identify specific species in a collection of different organisms.
