15.1 The Invention of the
Linnaean System
• To talk about and to study organisms it is
necessary to give them names
– biologists use a kind of multilevel grouping of individuals
called classification
– the earliest classification scheme categorized living
things as either animals or plants
– the Greeks and Romans grouped similar plants and
animals into basic units called genera (singular, genus)
• early biologists added a series of nonstandardized
descriptions to the genus name to refer to a species
• this created a string of subjective names called a
polynomial
2
• A much simpler system than the
polynomial for the naming of organisms
was developed by Carolus Linnaeus
– Linnaeus assigned organisms a two-part
name called a binomial
– he also grouped similar organisms into
higher-level categories based on similar
characteristics
• this would have important, though
unintended, applications to
evolutionary connections

15.2 Species Names
• Taxon (plural, taxa) is a group of
organisms at a particular level in a
classification system
– the branch of biology that identifies and
names such groups is called taxonomy
– no two kinds of organisms can have the
same name and all names are given in
Latin
5
Figure 15.2 Common names make poor labels
6
15.2 Species Names
• The scientific name for an organism is
comprised of the two-part binomial
– the first part is the genus, which is
always capitalized
– the second part is the specific epithet
and is not capitalized
– the two words together are written in
italics
7
15.3 Higher Categories
• the binomial has been expanded into a Linnaean
system of classification
– genera with similar properties are grouped together into
a family
– families that share similar characteristics are put into
the same order
– orders with common properties are placed into the
same class
– classes with similar characteristics are placed into the
same phylum
– phyla are assigned to one of several gigantic groups
called kingdoms
– kingdoms are sometimes assigned to an additional
level of classification, called domains

15.4 What Is a Species?
• Since the time of Linnaeus, about 1.5 million
species have been named
– the actual number of species is much greater
– the biological species concept is widely
applied to animals but not as frequently to
plants
• it does not apply to some kingdoms at all
– molecular data are causing a reevaluation of
traditional classification systems

15.5 How to Build a Family Tree
• Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of
an organism and its relationship to other
species
• Systematics is the study of and
reconstruction of phylogenetic trees
– it also includes the naming and
classifying of organisms
12
• Cladistics is the systematic approach that
infers phylogeny according to similarities
derived from a common ancestor
– derived characters are characters that are
present in a group of organisms that arose
from a common ancestor that lacked the
character
• a clade is a group of organisms, related by
descent, that share a derived character
– by examining the distribution of derived traits
among related organisms, it is possible to
construct a cladogram, a branching diagram
that represents the phylogeny

15.5 How to Build a Family Tree
• Cladograms convey comparative information
about relative relationships
– organisms that are closer together on a
cladogram simply share a more recent
common ancestor than those that are farther
apart
– each cladogram must have an outgroup, a
rather different organism to serve as a basis
for comparisons among the other organisms
being evaluated, called the ingroup
15
15.5 How to Build a Family Tree
• Cladistics is a relatively new but popular
approach to studying evolution because it
is objective and portrays the order in which
a series of evolutionary events have
occurred
16
15.5 How to Build a Family Tree
• An alternative approach to constructing
phylogenies is traditional taxonomy
– both ancestral and derived characters
are used to build trees
• the wealth of additional information
allows the weighting of biologically
significant characters, but this is a
more subjective process than
cladistics

15.6 The Kingdoms of Life
• Classification systems have gone through
their own evolution of sorts
• Most biologists now use a six-kingdom
system of classification first proposed by
Carl Woese
– four kingdoms consist of eukaryotes
• Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista
– two kingdoms consist of prokaryotes
• Archaea and Bacteria
20
• Recognizing that there are further
differences among the prokaryotes, the
domain level above kingdom was created
– Domain Archaea contains only one kingdom
– Domain Bacteria contains only one kingdom
– Domain Eukarya contains the four eukaryotic
kingdoms
• Because of this, the kingdom level of
classification for Bacteria and Archaea is
now often omitted

15.7 Domain Bacteria
• The bacteria are the most abundant
organisms on earth
– there are many different types of bacteria and
the evolutionary links between them are not
well understood
• most taxonomists recognize 12 to 15 major
groups of bacteria
• although archaea are also prokaryotic like
bacteria, the archaea are more closely
related to eukaryotes
24
15.8 Domain Archaea
• The Archaea branched off from a line of prokaryotic
ancestors that lead to the evolution of eukaryotes
– modern Archaea live in some of the most
extreme environments on earth and, although a
diverse group, share some of the same key
characteristics
• their cell walls lack the peptidoglycan that is
characteristic of bacterial cell walls
• they possess unique lipids and rRNA
sequences
• some genes in the archaea have introns

15.8 Domain Archaea
• Archaea are grouped into 3 general categories
– methanogens obtain their energy by using
hydrogen gas (H2) to reduce CO2 to methane
gas (CH4)
– extremophiles are able to grow under extreme
conditions, such as extreme heat, salt, pH, or
pressure
– nonextreme archaea grow in the same
environments that bacteria do
27
15.9 Domain Eukarya
• Eukaryotes have a complex cellular
organization but are fairly uniform in
metabolism, when compared to
prokaryotes
– there are three largely multicellular
kingdoms (fungi, plants, and animals)
– the remaining eukaryotic kingdom,
Protista, is a diverse array of mostly
unicellular forms that basically don’t fit
into the other kingdoms
28
15.9 Domain Eukarya
