Taxonomy

Taxonomy: An Introduction • Taxonomy is the classification of organisms in an ordered system that takes into account natural relationships. • The taxonomic system was founded by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in the 1700 s • It is the way of classifying or organizing organisms based on their evolutionary relationships • Widely accepted by the scientific community • **keep in mind, taxonomy is human-made

The 8 Taxa (sing. Taxon) • A taxon is a category or group in which we classify organisms. • All organisms can be classified or organized based on 8 levels of taxa • Taxonomy is hierarchical and proceeds from very broad categories down to very specific categories • (This diagram shows “life” at the highest level. “Life” is not considered to be a taxon)

Memorizing the Taxa • Use this handy mnemonic! : D • King Philip Came Over For Good Scotch!

Taxon Level 1: Domain • Broadest taxon • There are 3 domains: Eukarya, Bacteria, Archaea • Organisms belonging to the Eukarya domain all have eukaryotic cells • Bacteria and Archaea consist of organisms with prokaryotic cells. • Biochemical and RNA markers differentiate Bacteria and Archaea

Taxon Level 2: Kingdom • There are 6 main kingdoms: • Bacteria • Archaea • Animalia • Plantae • Fungi • Protista


Taxon Level 3: Phylum • You will be learning about a number of different phyla (plural of phylum) for the rest of the year! • Some of the phyla you’ll discuss: (don’t write these down) • Porifera, Cnidaria, Nematoda, Arthropoda, Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Chordata!

Taxon Levels 4 -6 • Class, Order, Family • As you descend to the lower taxa, the criteria for belonging to a certain taxon becomes more specific.

Taxon Levels 7 -8: Genus and Species • Multiple species can belong to a genus • Example: In the Panthera genus, the species lion, tiger, jaguar, leopard, and snow leopard exist. • Species is the most specific taxon, and only one type of organism belongs to a species. • Example: A tiger is classified as • genus: Panthera • species: tigris

Example: Humans


Binomial Nomenclature • Roughly translates to: Two Name System of Naming Things • It is a formal system of naming living things by combining two names to give each species a unique scientific name. • The scientific name consists of the genus name and the species name. • The genus name is always capitalized • The species name is always in lowercase • Both parts of the name are always italicized (if writing by hand, underlined) • Scientific names generally have Latin roots
