Taxonomy (Naming and Grouping)
Why is a naming system important? Have you seen a… • Florida panther? • Cougar? • Mountain lion? • Catamount? • Puma? • They are all the SAME animal! • Their difference is their regional “common name”
The origins of taxonomy • Taxonomy → grouping and naming of organisms – to understand the variety of life – to avoid confusion of regional names • Carl (Carolus) Linnaeus (1707 -1778) – developed a binomial nomenclature (2 -part name), now called the scientific name – developed a 7 -level (taxon) classification • (domain), kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species – Dreaded King Philip Came Over For Great Spaghetti – Did King Philip Come Over From Glorious Spain? – Dumb Kids Playing Chicken On Freeways Go Splat
The Three Domains (added in 1990) (…eukaryotes) (…”common” prokaryotes) (…“ancient” prokaryotes)
The scientific name is taken from the genus and species
Taxonomic groups • Beginning with domain, each successive level of classification becomes more specific • Organisms within the same group have more in common with one another than those within the next Members of a genus share more in common largest group than members of a family
