CLASSIFICATION LAB 08
Purpose: • Review classification of organisms. • Construct and map the relationships of members from the Kingdom Animalia.
Systematics- studies diversity of life Taxonomy- study of classification I. Systematics
Classification: Six kingdom system : Eubacteria Archaebacteria E. coli Cyanobacteria Protista Paramecium Diatom Slime mold Plantae Fungi Animalia
Phylogentic Relationships of Animals Platyhelminthes Porifera Mollusca Chordata Arthropoda Annelida Cnideria Nematoda Echinodermata pseudocoelom segmentation acoelom Protostome: schizocoelem Deuterostomes: eucoelom radial symmetry bilateral symmetry no true tissues true tissue Ancestral Protist
Mode of Reproduction: binary fission, gametes Cell structure: multi or single celled, nucleus/no nucleus, cell wall/no cell wall, chlorophyll present/not present, Internal/External skeleton: back bone, bone/cartilage Energy: autotrophic, heterotrophic, chemotrophic Respiratory system: gills, lungs, gas exchange across skin/epithelium Embryonic development: deuterostome, protostome Circulatory system: closed/open, # of chambers in a heart What are some of the ways we can classify animals?
Class Mammalia Metatherians Eutherians Prototherians True placental Live births Have fur/hair, warm blooded, suckle young
Rhipidistians Placodermi Chondrichthyes (sharks & rays) Osteichthyes Amphibians Reptiles Mammalia Birds Lungfish Coelacanth Ray-finned fishes Tetrapods Lobed-finned fishes Fleshy-finned fishes Ancestral jawed fishes of the Devonian period
Two main objectives of taxonomy: 1. Sort out closely related organisms, assign them to a species, and describe diagnostic characteristics that distinguish the species from one another. 2. Classification of species- arrange species in broader taxonomic categories.
School of Systematics Classical Evolutionary Systematics • Classification based on observed similarities and differences • Darwinian approach • Phylogram

Divide into 4 research teams. Make a classification scheme. Include all of the categories from phylum to species. Take a bag containing fasteners. Develop a classification system. Exercise1: The Nuts and Bolts of Classification Complete assignment and answer all questions
Exercise 2: Animal Classification • Divide into teams of 2 or 3. • Select 5 animals • Sort animal specimens based traits. • Make a classification scheme. Include all of the categories from phylum to species.
Construct a phylogenetic tree based only on examination of your specimens. The Comparative Approach to Phylogenetic Analysis 2 species evolving from x (dichotomous split) Use with 3 or more species
