phylogeny
the evolutionary history of a species or group of related species
Systematics
A way of classifying organisms and determining their evolutionary relationship
binomial nomenclature
- made by Carolus Linnaeus
- two name naming system
(binomial nomenclature) two key features that are still useful
two part names for species
hierarchical classification
taxonomic groups (broad to narrow)
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
taxon
A taxonomic unit at any level of hierarchy
phylogenetic tree
the evolutionary history of a group of organisms can be represented
- represents a hypothesis about evolutionary relationships
branch point
represents the divergence of two evolutionary lineages from a common ancestor
sister taxa
groups that share an immediate common ancestor that is not shared by any other group
structures of phylogenetic trees
Horizontally
vertically
diagonally
Linnaean classification and phylogeny
differ from each other
systematists have hypothesized...
a classification system that would recognize only groups that include a common ancestor and all its descendants
phylogenetic tree misconception
show patterns of decent not phenotypic similarity
- doesn't indicated when species evolved
- doesn't indicate how much change occurred in lineage
you should not assume
that a taxon evolved from the taxon next to it
