 Let’s Explore and Discover
Unlocking Hello everyone! Let us think about how a grocery store
Word organizes its commodities. One large space is divided into
Difficulties departments, such as for produce, dairy, and meats among others.
Then each department further divides into aisles, then each aisle
into categories and brands, and then finally a single product. We
Taxon (plural call this organization from larger to smaller, more specific
Taxa) - is any categories a hierarchical system.
unit used in the
science of
biological
classification or
taxonomy. They
are arranged in
a hierarchy,
that is, from
kingdom to
subspecies.

All organisms are classified based on very basic, shared characteristics. Organisms
within each group are then further divided into smaller groups. These smaller groups are
based on more detailed similarities within each larger group. This grouping system makes
it easier for scientists to study certain groups of organisms. Characteristics such as
appearance, reproduction, mobility, and functionality are just a few ways in which living
organisms are grouped. These specialized groups are collectively called the classification of
living things. The classification of living things includes 8 levels: Domain
kingdom, phylum, classes, order, families, genus, and species.

Taxonomy - literally means “arrangement law” is the science of classifying

organisms to construct internationally shared classifying systems with each organism
placed into increasingly more inclusive groups.

The Taxonomic Classification System was invented by Carolus Linnaeus, a

Swedish biologist, zoologist, and physician. He was also known as the “Father of
Taxonomy”.

Linnaeus’ Classification System

Early in the eighteenth century, Carolus Linnaeus invented a system of binomial

nomenclature for classifying organisms. He assigned a two-word Latin name to each
organism. The first word represents the genus of an organism. The second word is
descriptive. Together, the two words represent the species name. For example, the word
Panthera describes the genus in which large cats are grouped.

2
 The genus name with the descriptive name, Panthera pardus, refers to the species of
cat shown below, the leopard. The members of a species are more alike than members of
any other group of organisms.
The species of leopard, Panthera pardus, is very specific and includes organisms of
only one kind. But the genus Panthera is a broader group and includes several different
species such as Panthera tigris, the tiger, and Panthera leo, the lion. Organisms are
classified into progressively larger groups. Genera are grouped into families. Families make
up orders. Orders combine to make classes. Classes are grouped into phyla and phyla
make up the largest and most inclusive groups, the kingdoms.

Taxonomic Categories: Characteristics
and Examples

Domain is the highest

Taxonomic rank in the hierarchical
DOMAIN biological classification system
above the kingdom level.
Archaea, Bacteria, Eukaryota
are the subclassification of Domain.

KINGDOM

The kingdom is the second

highest category in biological
classification. It is a group of closely
related organisms.
PHYLUM Examples are plants that
have common features of the
autotrophic mode of nutrition and
the presence of cell wall made up of
cellulose. Hence they belong to the
Kingdom Plantae. Taxonomists
have also developed subcategories
CLASS in this higher key for more sound
and scientific placement of various
taxa.

ORDER A phylum is a group of related

animal classes. Birds, along with
mammals, are members of the same
Phylum Chordata because of the
presence of notochord and dorsal
hollow nerve cord.
FAMILY

The class is a group of related

GENUS orders. For example, Order Primata
comprising monkeys, gorillas and gibbons
are placed in Class Mammalia along with
order Carnivora which includes animals
like tiger, cat, and dog all having a
common feature that is hair on skin and
milk glands.
SPECIES

4
Taxonomic Categories: Characteristics
and Examples
An order is a group of related families
that exhibit a few similar characters. For
example, plant families like Convolvulaceae,
Solanaceae are included in the same order
based on the floral characters. In animals,
DOMAIN Family Felidae and Canidae are included in
the same Order Carnivora.

A family is a group of the related

genus. They have still less number of
KINGDOM
similarities as compared to genus and
species. Families are characterized on the
basis of both vegetative and reproductive
features of plant species.
Example, three different genus
Solanum, Petunia and the Torah are placed in
PHYLUM the Family Solanaceae. In animals, genus
Panthera is put along with genus Felis in the
Family Felidae. All the animals like lion,
tiger, and cats have some similarities but
those similarities are not found in dogs, hence
it is placed in another family, Family
CLASS Canidae.

Genus is a group of species which

are alike in broad features of
their organization but different in details.
ORDER Species in a genus have a common
ancestry. This may be the reason for their
close similarities.
For example Genus Equus has
many species like Cabelas for the horse

FAMILY

Species is the lowest taxonomic

category. It consists of individuals which
have fundamental similarities and can be
distinguished from other closely related
species due to distinct morphological
GENUS characters.
For example, the term ‘indica’ in
Mangifera indica represents the specific
epithet or “nickname”, whereas the first
term Mangifera represents another higher
level of taxon called genus. In animals for
SPECIES example, genus Panthera can have leo as
one specific epithet representing lion
and tigris as another specific epithet
representing tiger.

5
 To identify different levels of
similarity and uniqueness, each classifying Domain
groups, called taxon (pl. taxa) is subdivided
into other groups. The taxa in hierarchical
order:

Eukaryote Bacteria
Encompasses most of the world’s Archae
visible living things. Some
characteristics of eukaryotes are:
• Unicellular/ multicellular
• DNA in nucleus, bounded by
nuclear envelope
• Genome consists of several
chromosomes
• Cell division by mitosis or
meiosis; sexual reproduction is All animals are eukaryotic,
common. multicellular organisms and almost all
animals have a complex tissue structure
with differentiated and specialized
KINGDOM Fungi tissues. Most animals are motile and all
Protista animals require a source of food and are
therefore heterotrophic, ingesting other
Eubacteria living or dead organisms. Most animals
Archaea reproduce sexually and the offspring
passes through a series of
Plantae developmental stages that established a
determined and fixed body plan.
Animalia

PHYLUM ANIMALIA
Invertebrates (animals that do not possess a cranium or vertebral column)
• Porifera (do not display tissue level organization, although they do
have specialized cells that perform specific functions).
• Cnidaria (includes animals that show radial or biradial symmetry and
are diploblastic, that is develop from two embryonic layers).
• Nematoda (roundworms)
• Annelida (segmented worms)
• Platyhelminthes (flatworms)
• Mollusca (signifies soft body with muscular foot,a visceral mass
containing internal organs and a mantle that may or may not secrte
a shell of calcium carbonate).
• Arthropoda (functional segmentation of the body and presence of
jointed appendages).
Subphyla
- Trilobitomorpha (trilobites all are extinct)
- Hexapoda (insects and relative)
- Myriapoda (millipedes, centipedes and relatives)
- Crustaceans (crabs, lobster, crayfish, isopods, barnacles, and
some zooplankton)
- Chelicerata (horseshoe crabs, arachnids, scorpions, and daddy
long legs).

6
Vertebrates/ chordata - possess a cranium and vertebral column; are notochords, a
dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post- anal tail.
• Fish - earliest vertebrates, with jawless species being the earliest and jawed
species evolving later. They are active feeders, rather than sessile, suspension
feeders.
• Amphibians - are vertebrate tetrapods. As tetrapods, they are characterized by
four well- developed limbs, extant amphibians is a moist, permeable skin that is
achieved via mucus glands that keep the skin moist.
• Reptiles - limbless reptiles- snakes and other squamates- have vestigial limbs
and like caecilians, are classified as tetrapods because they are descended from
four- limbed ancestors. They lay eggs and usually reproduce sexually with
internal fertilization.
• Birds - the characteristics that sets the birds apart from other vertebrates is the
presence of feathers,which are modified scales. Birds rely on feathers and wings
along with other modifications of body structure and physiology, for flight.
• Mammals - are vertebrates that possess hair and mammary glands. Although it
is not very extensive on certain species, such as whales. Mammals are
endothermic and hair provides insulation to retain heat.

CLASS (Invertebrates)
PORIFERA (sponges)
• Calcarea - contains calcium spicules and no spongin
• Hexactinellida - contains six- rayed siliceous spicules and no spongin
• Demospongia - contains spongin and may or may not have spicules; if
present, those spicules are siliceous.
CNIDARIA
• Anthozoa - exhibit a polyp body plan only/ no medusa stage within their life
cycle. Ex. sea anemones, sea pens and corals.
• Scyphozoa - the medusa is prominent stage in the life cycle, although there is
a polyp stage present.
• Cubozoa - includes jellies that have a box- shaped medusa, or bell that is
square in cross- section; hence,are colloquially known as “box jellyfish”. A
prominent difference between the two classes is the arrangement of tentacles.
This the most venomous group of all the cnidarians.
• Hydrozoa - the true characteristic shared by all of the diverse species is that
their gonads for sexual reproduction are derived from epithermal tissue,
whereas in all other cnidarians they are derived from gastrodermal tissue.
ANNELIDA
• Polychaeta - earthworms, poly= “many”; chaetae= “hairs”
• Clitellata - possess a clitellum for reproduction
Subclass
• Oligochaeta - distinguished by the presence of the clitellum as well as few,
reduced chaetae (oligo= “few”; chaetae= “hairs”)
• Branchiobdellae
• Hirudenea - the significant difference between leeches and other annelids is
the development of suckers at the anterior and posterior ends and a lack of
chaetae.
PLATYHELMINTHES
• Class Turbellaria - includes mainly free- living, marine species, although some
species live in freshwater or moist terrestrial environments. The ventral
epidermis of tubellarians is ciliated and facilitates locomotion.

7
CLASS
• Classs Monogeneans - are ectoparasites, mostly of fish, with simple
lifecycles that consist of a free- swimming larva that attaches to a fish to
begin transformation to the parasitic adult form.
• Class Trematoda - or flukes, are internal parasites of mollusks and
many other groups, including humans.
• Class Cestoda - or tapeworms, are also internal parasites mainly of
vertebrates. Tapeworms live in the intestinal tract of the primary host
and remain fixed using a sucker on the anterior end, or scolex, of the
tapeworm body.
MOLLUSCA
• Class Aplacophora (“bearing no plates”)
• Class Monoplacophora (“bearing one plate”)
• Class Polyplacophora (“bearing plates”)
• Class Bivalvia (“two shells”); (clams, oyster, mussels, scallops, and
geoducks)
• Class Gastropoda (“stomach foot”); (snails, slugs,conchs, sea hares and
sea butterflies)
• Class Cephalocoda (“head foot animals”); (octopi, squids, cuttlefish and
nautilus)
• Class Scaphopoda (“boat feet”, “tusk shells”, “tooth shells”)
ECHINODERMATA
- Class Asteroidea (sea stars)
- Class Ophiuroidea (brittle stars)
- Class Echinoidea (sea urchins and sand dolllars)
- Class Crinoidea (sea lilies or feather stars)
- Class Holothuroidea (sea cucumbers)

(Vertebrates)
FISH
Jawless fish (are craniates that represent an ancient vertebrate lineage that
arose over one half- billion years ago. They lack of paired lateral appendages
(fins) and bone in their scales.
• Hagfish - are eel-like scavengers that live on the ocean floor and feed on
dead invertebrates. A unique feature of these animals is the slime glands
beneath the skin that release mucus through surface pores.
• Lampreys - are similar in hagfishes in size and shape; however,
lampreys possess some vertebral elements. They lack paired appendages
and bone, as do hagfishes.as adults, lampreys are characterized by a
toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth.
Gnathostomes: Jawed Fish - are vertebrates that possess jaws and two sets
of paired fins.
• Class Chondrichthyes - cartilaginous fish consisting of sharks, rays,
and skates, together with sawfishes and a few dozen species of fish
called chimaeras or “ghost sharks”.
• Class Osteichthyes - bony fish, are characterized by a bony skeleton,
bony fish have an ossified skeleton with specialized bone cells
(osteocytes); the skin of bony fish is often covered by overlapping scales
and glands; all bony fish use gills to breathe.

8
CLASS AMPHIBIANS
• Clades Urodela/ Caudata: salamanders “tailed- ones” - adult
salamanders usually have a generalized tetrapod body plan with four
limbs and a tail. They move by bending their bodies from side to side
called lateral undulation, in fish- like manner while walking their arms
and legs fore and aft. Respiration differs among the different species.
The majority of salamanders are lungless, and respiration occurs
through the skin or through external gills.
• Class Anura: Frogs “tail- less one” - anurans have body plant that is
more specialized for movement. Adult frogs use their hind limbs to jump
on land. Frog eggs are fertilized externally, and like other amphibians,
frogs generally lay their eggs in moist environments.
• Apoda: Caecilians “ legless ones” - although they are vertebrates, a
complete lack of limbs leads to their resemblance to earthworms in
appearance. They are adapted for a soil- burrowing or aquatic lifestyle,
and they are nearly blind. They have vestigial limbs, evidence that they
evolved from a legged ancestor.
REPTILES
Class Reptilia
• Crocodalia (“small lizard”) - arose with a distinct lineage by the middle
Triasic; extant species include alligators, crocodiles, and caimans. They
are found in freshwater, saltwater, and brakish habitats, such as rivers
and lakes, and spend mostof their time in water.
• Sphenodontia (“ wedge tooth”) - arose in Mesozoic era and includes only
one living genus, Tuatara. Although quite lizard like in gross
appearance, several unique features of the skull and jaws clearly define
them and distinguish the group from the squamates.
• Squamata (“scaly”) - are found in all continents except Antarctica. Is
the largest extant clade of reptiles. Lizard species range in size from
chameleons and geckos, to the Komodo dragon. Most lizards are
carnivorous, but some large species such as iguanas are hervibores.
• Testudines (“having a shell”) - turtles are characterized by a bony or
cartilaginous shell. The shell consists of the ventral surface called the
plastron and the dorsal surface called the carapace, which develops
from ribs. They lay eggs on land. The term turtle is sometimes used to
describe only those species of Testudines that live in the sea, with the
term “tortoise” and “terrapin” used to refer to species that live on land
and in fresh water, respectively.
BIRDS (Aves)
MAMMALS
• Monotremes - are unique among mammals as they lay eggs, rather
than giving birth to young. Example: platypus and two species of
echidnas or spiny eaters. The leathery- beaked platypus belongs to the
family Ornithorhynchidae (“bird beak”), whereas echidnas belong to the
family Tachyglossidae (“sticky tongue”).
• Eutherians - are sometimes called placental mammals,because all
species possess a complex placenta that connects a fetus to the mother,
allowing for gas, fluid, and nutrient exchange).
• Marsupials - they have less complex placental connection. The young
are born at an extremely early age and latch onto the nipple within the
pouch. Example: kangaroo, koala, bandicoot, Tasmanian devil.

 THE BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE
The kingdom Animalia stems from the Eukarya
domain. The figure on the left shows the classification for the
common dog. The full name of an organism technically has
eight terms. For the dog, it is Eukarya, Animalia, Chordata,
Mammalia, Carnivora, Canidae, Canis, and lupus. Notice that
each name is capitalized except for species, and the genus
and species names are italicized. Scientists generally refer to
an organism only by its genus and species, which is its two-
word scientific name, or binomial nomenclature. Therefore,
the scientific name of the dog is Canis lupus. The name at
each level is also a taxon. In other words, dogs are in order
Carnivora. Carnivora is the name of the taxon at the order
level; Canidae is the taxon at the family level, and so forth.
Organisms also have a common name that people typically
use, in this case, dog. Note that the dog is additionally a
subspecies: the “familiaris” in Canis lupus
familiaris. Subspecies are members of the same species that
are capable of mating and reproducing viable offspring, but
they are separate subspecies due to geographic or behavioral
isolation or other factors.
Figure 1. The taxonomic classification system uses a hierarchical model to organize
living organisms into increasingly specific categories. The common dog, Canis lupus
familiaris is a subspecies of Canis lupus, which also includes the wolf and dingo.
