Systematics
Seeking Order Amidst Diversity
![Page 2: Systematics Seeking Order Amidst Diversity. 1.4 million That is about how many species there are known on Earth systematics, sometimes known as taxonomy,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f535503460f94c77096/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
1.4 million
• That is about how many species there are known on Earth
• systematics, sometimes known as taxonomy, is science’s attempt to classify and organize 1.4 million different things
• Keeping these things organized helps with things such as museum management, field work, identifying new discoveries, genetics, etc.

Common Names
• Used on an everyday basis, common names can be confusing due to their inaccuracy
• Example, if I say to you, “Irish Moss.” What would you think of?

Maybe something like this?

Sorry, its this.
Yeah, its seaweed.

How about a tufted titmouse?
Maybe this guy?

NOPE!!!
Here he is. He’s in your backyard all the time. He likes sunflower seeds.

One more.
• Dolphin
• got that image in your head?

Okay, that works…but

This is a dolphin too. Mahi mahi anyone?

How Organisms are Classified
• Systematics is the science of reconstructing phylogeny (evolutionary history)
• A key part is taxonomy this is naming organisms and placing them into categories
• there are seven major categories, which I think you know: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
• and the newer one, domain. This is really just whether an organism is a prokaryote or a eukaryote

Taxonomy
• Originated with ….
• wait for it…..

ARISTOTLE
what up

Carl von Linné
• He called himself…
• He called himself Carolus Linnaeus
• Jerkishnessity aside he did lay the groundwork for the modern classification system

Somehow you knew that this is exactly what he would look like.

The Linnaean System
• Is the one you’re familiar with
• A hierarchical arrangement based on resemblance to other organisms
• He also introduced the scientific name, composed of genus and species

Modern systematics
• Uses many features to categorize organisms
• anatomy, developmental stages, biochemical similarities, and the fossil record
• The relationships are drawn as cladograms or evolutionary trees
