Animal Classification
Zoology
1
Taxonomy
• Taxonomy
– Field of science that classifies organisms and
defines their relationships
– All about grouping organisms (plants and animals)
– Originally by traits or characteristics
– Today, DNA is a part of the classification
2
Taxonomy
• Divisions – broad to specific
– Kingdom
– Phylum
– Class
– Order
– Family
– Genus
– Species
3
Taxonomy
• Kingdom
– 2 original kingdoms
• Plants and animals
– Original 2 kingdoms started getting split in the
mid-20th century – only 50-60 years ago
– Today: 5-6 kingdoms
4
Kingdoms
• Modern Kingdoms
– Monera – bacteria
• Prokaryotes (no nucleus); always single-celled; may
have plant, fungus, or animal characteristics
– Archaea
• Prokaryotes; single-celled; adapted to unusual and/or
extreme conditions; have several different cellular
chemistries from Monera
– Protista
• Eukaryotes (nucleus in cell); mostly single-celled or
collections of very similar cells; may have plant, fungus,
or animal characteristics
5
Kingdoms
– Plantae - plants
• Eukaryotes; multicellular; capable of photosynthesis,
production of complex molecules from simple
molecules using light
– Animalia – animals
• Eukaryotes; multicellular; must obtain complex food
molecules from external source, broken down and
absorbed internally; usually capable of movement
– Fungi – fungus
• Eukaryotes; almost all multicellular; must obtain
complex food molecules from external source,
absorbed through external surface; almost never
capable of movement
6
Taxonomy
• Variations
• Some taxonomies include “super” kingdoms
or Domains
– Three domains
• Bacteria – Monera
• Archaea – Archaea
• Eukarya – Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia
• Remove Monera and Archaea and combine
them into Bacteria
• Separate Protista into Protista and Chromista

– Listed first
– First letter capitalized
• Species
– Listed second
– Not capitalized
– Example – humans
• Homo sapiens
49
Genus and Species
• Genus
– Generic name
– Groups animals of the same type
• Usually based on physical features, sometimes on DNA
– Guidelines for deciding what species belong in a
genus
• Monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are
grouped together
• Reasonable compactness – a genus should not be
expanded needlessly
• Distinctness – in regards of evolutionarily relevant
criteria
– Ecology, morphology, or biogeography
50
Genus and Species
• Species
– Specific animal
– Definition has changed over the years
• Distinctly-describable type
• Distinct types that could not interbreed
• Distinct types that could breed and produce offspring
that themselves could go on as adults to breed
• “a group that, in natural surroundings, breeds
exclusively within the group”
– Exception wolves, dogs, coyotes
51
Genus and Species
• Subspecies
– Some species are divided further
– Either no subspecies or two or more
– Differences more distinct than the differences
between races or breeds but less than differences
between species
– Usually result of geographical distribution
– Criteria
• Different morphology or different DNA
52
Genus and Species
• Subspecies
– Criteria
• Different morphology or different DNA
• If two groups don’t interbreed because of something
intrinsic to their genetic make-up  different species
• If two groups would interbreed if an external barrier
were removed  subspecies
• Animals positions (species, subspecies, genus)
are constantly being re-evaluated as more
information is collected
53
Genus and Species
• Example
• Order: Carnivora - carnivores
• Family: Canidae – dogs, wolves, foxes, jackals,
coyotes
• Genus:
– Canis – “true dogs” – dogs, wolves, jackals
– Vulpes – “true foxes” - foxes
54
