  1. 06.01Classification of Living Organisms …or unicellular (like yeast)

  2. The 06.01 lesson taught you about these classification systems: 1. Linnaean taxonomy 2. Cladistics You will practice with the 2 classification systems by classifying birds: blue jay, robin, cardinal, canary, pelican Please proceed to the next slide! Directions

  3. Taxonomy Chart Research online to fill in the blank (RED) boxes. Some have been done for you. Suggested Research Sources: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.eduwww.allaboutbirds.org Kingdom Animalia Phylum Phylum Name Here Class Class Name Here  Order Pelecaniformes Order Name Here Family Corvidae Family Name Family Name Family Name Family Name Genus Genus Name Genus Name Genus Name Genus Name Serinus Species Name (Pelican) Turdus Migratorius (Robin) Species Name (Canary) Species Name (Blue Jay) Species Species Name (Cardinal)

  4. Cladogram Create your cladogram below. I’ve listed the birds in boxes and given you some lines. You will need to arrange the boxes and lines how you feel they should go (delete any extra lines you don’t need). Suggested characteristics for grouping the birds: *diet *size *type of feet *beak *songbirds Here’s a reminder of how a cladogram can look: Blue Jay Cardinal Pelican Robin Canary

  5. Conclusion Question #1 What are the common traits/characteristics of the birds in the taxonomy chart. Break down your descriptions by taxa (kingdom, phylum, class, and order). I’ve done some for you. Characteristics of Kingdom Animalia: eukaryotic cells, multicellular, internal digestion, sexual reproduction, advanced mobility, collagen-supported cell membranes, complex organ systems Characteristics of Phylum Chordata: Characteristics of Class Aves: Characteristics of Order Passeriformes: Characteristics of Order Pelecaniformes: webbed feet (four toes), throat sac (gular sac), marine birds

  6. Conclusion Question #2 Give a detailed explanation of the positions of each bird in your cladogram. Example: I started with the turtle and placed it furthest away from the other reptiles because it has a shell. Then, I put snakes and lizards on the same branch because they both have…

  7. Conclusion Question #3 Which was more difficult to make: the taxonomy chart or the cladogram? Explain your answer.
