Modern Evolutionary Classification 18. 2
Modern Evolutionary classification • Taxonomic groups are invented by scientist to group organisms with similar characteristics
Which Similarities are most important • Taxonomists try to group organisms according to biologically important characteristics – Linnaeus grouped species based on visible similarities (Dolphin example: Fish vs. Mammal) Barnacle crab limpet
Evolutionary Classification Limpet and barnacle larvae are very different. • Barnacles have jointed limbs, Limpets DON’T ! • Barnacles have a segmented body, Limpets DON’T ! • Barnacles have an exoskeleton that molts, Limpets DON’T !
Evolutionary Classification Crab and barnacle larvae are very similar • Barnacles have jointed limbs, So do CRABS ! • Barnacles have a segmented body, So do CRABS ! • Barnacles have an exoskeleton that molts, So do CRABS !
Evolutionary Classification • Organisms are grouped together based on evolutionary decent not just physical traits (WHY? ? ) • The higher the level of the taxon, the further back in time is the common ancestor
Evolutionary Classification • Evolutionary classification helps scientist to know how one lineage branched from another
Lion • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Chordata • Class: Mammalia • Order: Carnivora • Family: Felidae • Genus: Panthera • Species: leo Tiger • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Chordata • Class: Mammalia • Order: Carnivora • Family: Felidae • Genus: Panthera • Species: tigris
Lion • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Chordata • Class: Mammalia • Order: Carnivora • Family: Felidae • Genus: Panthera • Species: leo Grey Wolf • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Chordata • Class: Mammalia • Order: Carnivora • Family: Canidae • Genus: Canis • Species: C. lupus
Cladistic analysis • A way of classifying organisms using only new evolutionary characteristics • Derived characteristics - These characteristics appear in later organisms but not earlier ones • Cladogram: a diagram used to show evolutionary relationships
Cladogram • Help us to understand how one lineage branched from another in the course of evolution. (family tree)
