Linnaeus developed the scientific naming system still used today

Taxonomy is the science of naming and classifying organisms • A taxon is a group of organisms in a classification system

Orcinus orca

Binomial nomenclature is a two-part scientific naming system

– uses Latin words – scientific names always written in italics – two parts are the genus name and species

descriptor

• A genus includes one or more physically similar species– Species in the same genus are thought to be

closely related– Genus name is always capitalized

• A species descriptor is the second part of a scientific name– always lowercase– always follows genus

name – never written alone

Callinectes sapidus

• Scientific names help scientists to communicate

– Some species have very similar common names

– Some species have many common names

Linnaeus’ classification system has seven levels

Each level is included in the level above it

• Levels get increasingly specific from kingdom to species

The Linnaean classification system has limitations Organisms can be classified based on physical similarities

Linnaeus taxonomy doesn’t account for molecular evidence. The technology didn’t exist during 1700’s when Linnaeus lived Linnaean system based only on physical similarities. Physical similarities are not always the result of close

relationships Genetic similarities more accurately show close relationships

Modern classification is based on genetic similarity

Molecular evidence reveals species’ relatedness

Molecular data may confirm classification based on physical similarities

Molecular data may lead scientists to propose a new classification

• DNA is usually given the last word by scientists

• Different molecules have different mutation rates.– Mitochondria DNA higher mutation rate– (10x faster than chromosomal DNA– passed down un-shuffled from mother to offspring– better for studying closely related species– Ribosomal RNA– lower mutation rate than most DNA – many conservative regions– better for studying distantly related species

Mitochondrial DNA and ribosomal RNA provide two types of molecular clocks

Domain

Domain (also superregnum, superkingdom, empire or regio) highest taxonomic rank of organisms in the three-domain system designed by Carl Woese, an American microbiologist and biophysicist Tree of life Introduced in 1990 has 3 domains:

Archaea (a term which Woese created)BacteriaEukarya

The three domains in the tree of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and EukaryaDomains are above the kingdom level

based on rRNA studies of prokaryotesdomain model more clearly shows prokaryotic diversity

Domain Eukarya includes all eukaryotes

algae:Chlorophyta and Charophyta

Classification is always a work in progress

The current tree of life has three domains

(unranked): Archaeplastida

Division: Rhodophyta (red algae)

The heterokonts or stramenopiles are a major line ofProtists. Currently containing more than 100,000 species. Most are algae, ranging from the giant kelp to the tiny diatoms.

Originally the heterokont algae were treated as two divisions, first within the kingdom Plantae and later the Protista

Division Chrysophyta Class Chrysophyceae (golden algae) Class Bacillariophyceae (diatoms)

Division Phaeophyta (brown algae)

Classification of Living Things. The Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus developed the simplified system of naming and categorizing organisms. (1707-1778)

The branch of biology that deals with identifying and naming organisms is taxonomy. In the 1700s, Carl von Linne (Linnaeus) of Sweden determined a classification.

Biologists use 7 Levels of Classification Linnaeus named about 4000 species –Carolus Linnaeus developed systems for naming & organizing species into groups.
