Organizing Life’s Diversity
17.1 The History of Classification
Early Systems of Classification
 Biologists use a
system of
classification to
organize
information about
the diversity of
living things.

17.1 The History of Classification
Aristotle’s System
 More than 2000 years ago, Aristotle
developed the first widely accepted system
of biological classification.
 Aristotle classified organisms as either
animals or plants.

17.1 The History of Classification
 Animals were classified according to the
presence or absence of “red blood.”
 Animals were further grouped according to
their habitats and morphology.
 Plants were classified by average size and
structure as trees, shrubs, or herbs.

Linnaeus’s System
 Linnaeus’s system of classification was the
first formal system of taxonomy.

17.1 The History of Classification
Binomial Nomenclature
 Linnaeus’s method of naming organisms,
called binomial nomenclature, gives each
species a scientific name with two parts.
 The first part is the genus name, and the
second part is the specific epithet, or
specific name, that identifies the species.
Chapter

Organizing Life’s Diversity
17.1 The History of Classification
 Biologists use
scientific names
for species
because common
names vary in
their use.

17.1 The History of Classification
 When writing a scientific name, scientists use these
rules:
 The first letter of the genus name always is
capitalized, but the rest of the genus name and all
letters of the specific epithet are lowercase.
 If a scientific name is written in a printed book or
magazine, it should be italicized.
 When a scientific name is written by hand, both
parts of the name should be underlined.
 After the scientific name has been written
completely, the genus name will be abbreviated to
the first letter in later appearances (e.g., C.
cardinalis).

17.1 The History of Classification
Taxonomic Categories
 The taxonomic
categories used by
scientists are part of a
nested-hierarchal
system.
 Each category is
contained within
another, and they
are arranged from broadest to most specific.

17.2 Modern Classification
Characters
 To classify a species, scientists construct
patterns of descent by using characters.
 Characters can be morphological or
biochemical.

17.2 Modern Classification
Morphological Characters
 Shared morphological characters suggest that
species are related closely and evolved from a
recent common ancestor.
 Analogous characters are those that have
the same function but different underlying
construction.
 Homologous characters might perform different
functions, but show an anatomical similarity
inherited from a common ancestor.

17.2 Modern Classification
Phylogenetic Reconstruction
 Cladistics reconstructs phylogenies based on
shared characters.
 Scientists consider two main types of characters
when doing cladistic analysis.
 An ancestral character is found within the entire
line of descent of a group of organisms.
 Derived characters are present in members of
one group of the line but not in the common
ancestor.

that lines and encloses the organs in the
coelom

 Pseudocoelomates
 Have a fluid-filled
