What is classification?
Whenever you place similar items together, you are classifying them.
Look at the images on the next page. What do they have in common? How many different ways can you divide these flying
things into groups? Choose a method to classify these objects. Start with
2 headings and then subdivide each group.
Phylogeny
The evolutionary relationships between organisms.
Used today to classify organisms into 6 Kingdoms: Plants –complex multicellular cells, make own food Animals – complex multicellular cells, heterotrophs (eat
other organisms) Fungi – complex multicellular cells, decomposer, ex.
Mushrooms, mold, & mildew Protists – complex unicellular, ex. algae Archaebacteria – one celled, live in extreme
environments Eubacteria – one celled, most bacteria

KingdomsPhylum

Species
Pneumonic Device: King Phillip can only find green socks!
Kingdom is the largest category and then it gets subdivided into smaller and smaller groups.
Species is the smallest group - only organisms that are the same species can mate & produce fertile offspring
How does all of this work?Kingdom Animalia Animalia Animalia Animalia
Phylum Chordata Chordata Chordata Arthropoda
Class Mammalia Mammalia Mammalia Insecta
Order Perissodactyla Perissodactyla Proboscidea Dictyoptera
Family Equidae Equidae Elephantidae Cryptocercidae
Genus Equus Equus Elephas Cryptocercus
species grevyi caballus maximus punctulatus
Common
Name Zebra Horse Elephant Cockroach
Questions
Which two organisms on the previous slide are most closely related?
Which are more closely related, the horse and cockroach or horse and elephant?
Binomial NomenclatureTwo word naming system. The first word is
the genus. A genus is a group of similar species. The second word is the species.
Example: Maple trees are in the genus Acer. There are many kinds of maple trees, so they have a species name also. Acer rubrum – Red MapleAcer saccharum – Sugar Maple
Why do we use Binomial Nomenclature?
Helps avoid mistakes. Example: Lizards
Green Iguana (Iguana Iguana)
(Myska)
Desert Iguana (Disposaurus doralis)
(Seaman)
Organisms with similar evolutionary histories are classified together.◦Question: Look at the names of these
organisms. Which are more closely related? Panthera onca jaguar Lynx rufus bobcat Panthera tigris tiger Puma concolor cougar
Gives descriptive information about the species.Example: Acer rubrum – Red Maple. Rubrum
is Latin for red.Allow information about organisms to be
easily organized into books, pamphlets, etc.
Question
• List, in order, the 7 categories used to classify a single organism?
Dichotomous Keys
• Detailed list of identifying characteristics and scientific names
• Example: page 26 in textbook
• PART TWO – A CLOSER LOOK INTO THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
Phyla of the Animal Kingdom
• Annelida• Arthropoda• Chordata• Cnidaria• Echinodermata• Mollusca• Nematoda• Porifera
Phylum Annelida
Bilateral symmetryUniformly segmented bodyParapodia – fleshy “legs”BristlesExamples: earthworms, bristle worms,
leeches
Phylum Annelida
Bristle Worm (Read)
Phylum Arthropoda
Bilateral symmetrySegmented bodyHard exoskeletonJointed legsExamples: insects, spiders, crustaceans

Phylum Cnidaria
• Radial symmetry• Ring of tentacles around mouth• Stinging cells• Examples: jellyfish, sea anemones, coral
(Muller, 2001)
Phylum EchinodermataFive part radial symmetryTube feetSpiny skinExamples: sea stars, sea cucumbers, sea
urchins, sand dollars

Phylum Mollusca
Bilateral symmetry Have or had a shell Soft bodied with a muscular “foot” Examples: snails, slugs, bivalves, squid,
octopus
Phylum Mollusca

Phylum Nematoda
Bilateral symmetry Round, unsegmented body Cuticle Example: round worms, hook worms, pin
worms
Phylum Nematoda
(Myers, 2001)
Phylum Porifera
Asymmetrical or radial symmetry Have many pores Made up of a group of cells that have
aggregated but do not form tissues Example: Sponges
Follow-up Questions
Sketch an organism with bilateral symmetry and one with radial symmetry. Draw the lines of symmetry over your sketch.
