Title: Carolus Linnaeus 1707-1778


1
Carolus Linnaeus 1707-1778
  • He devised a system of grouping organisms into
    hierarchical categories based on physical
    characteristics, such as form or structure.
  • The purpose is to categorize organisms so they
    can be identified and studied.

2
  • His classification system that was adopted by the
    scientific community in 1758. Like many modern
    filing systems, it begins by grouping living
    organisms into a few large aggregations first
    (the Kingdom level), and then subdividing the
    groups into ever-smaller units at each step or
    Taxonomic Level. The smallest level is the
    species level.
  • World countries provinces counties..

3
  • The major classification levels,from largest
    group to smallest (several of these have
    subdivisions)
  • KingdomPhylumClassOrderFamilyGenusSpecies
    binomial nomenclature comes from these two

4
Classification Activity
  • In groups arrange the following organisms into
    categories and sub-categories based on physical
    characteristics, behavior, or some other
    criteria.
  • Each group will have to explain their
    classification system.
  • Whale, bat, owl, alligator, beaver, Bluefin tuna,
    Yellowfin tuna, parrot, crocodile, mouse, Tiger
    shark, tiger, E. coli (bacteria), Salmonella
    (bacteria), Reef shark, Red oak (tree), English
    oak (tree), Red maple (tree)

This is the scientific way to identify a
particular organismThe genus name is written
first (always Capitalized).The species name is
written second (never capitalized).Both words
are either italicized or underlined. Eg.. Homo
sapiens or Homo sapiens
