Introduction to Taxonomy
Diversity

• Diversity is the presence of different organisms in the same ecosystem or geographical location.
• Diversity gives a chance for a more balanced ecosystem.

Evolution

• Evolution is the slow process by which the organisms change according to their needs to survive the environment around them.
• Evolution leads to the formation of new organisms and more diversity in the ecosystem.

Charles Darwin

• Charles Darwin was an English biologist and a naturalist.
•  He travelled on HMS Beagle to Galapagos Island in South America.
• Using his observation, he proposed the theory of evolution in his book On the Origin of Species.

Taxonomy
Taxonomy is the branch of science that deals with the classification of organisms.
Taxonomical Hierarchy
Hierarchy of Classification

• Organisms are arranged into groups/levels according to their similarities.
• As we go up the hierarchy, the organisms have a lesser similarity.

Kingdom

• A kingdom is the highest level of classification which consists of a number of phyla or divisions (in the case of plants) with similar characteristics.

 Phylum/Division

• Phylum/Division is a level of classification which consists of a number of classes with similar characteristics.

Class

• A class is the level of classification which consists of a number of orders with similar characteristics.

Order

• An order is the level of classification which consists of a number of families with similar characteristics.

Family

• A family is the level of classification which consists of a number of Genus with similar characteristics.

Genus

• Genus is the level of classification which consists of a number of species with similar characteristics.

Species

Hierarchy of Classification
Nomenclature
Carolus Linnaeus

• Carolus Linnaeus is a Swedish botanist and physician who is also called the ‘Father of taxonomy‘.
• He introduced the Binomial nomenclature and laid the ground rules which paved way for modern taxonomy.

Binomial Nomenclature

• Binomial Nomenclature was introduced by Linnaeus as a method of naming organisms in taxonomy.
• It consists of two parts.
• The first part is the Genus name which is written in capital.
• The second part is the species name, which is not capitalized.

Five Kingdom Classification
5 Kingdom classification

• 5 Kingdom classification is the most accepted system of classification given by R.H.Whittaker.
• This classification solved most of the issues in taxonomy related to the placement of bacteria and fungi.
• The 5 kingdoms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

Kingdom Monera
Monera

• All the prokaryotic organisms are placed in this Kingdom.
• Bacteria and their ancient cousin, archaebacteria are the organisms that make up Kingdom Monera.
• These are prokaryotic, unicellular, autotrophic/heterotrophic organisms.
• Bacteria have a cell wall made up of polysaccharides.

Archea

• The category in the kingdom Monera consists of the organisms surviving in extremely hot conditions.
• They are considered to be the most ancient living organisms present on the planet.
