  1. Scientific Names All bears are NOT alike- but they are all bears. Scientific Names of bears: Common Name: Grizzly Bear Scientific Name: Ursidae Ursus arctos Common Name: Polar Bear Scientific Name: Ursidae Ursus maritimus Common Name: Black Bear Scientific Name: Ursidae Ursus americanus What are the reoccurring words? Common Name: Panda Bear Scientific Name: Ursidae Ailuropoda melanoleuca Common Name: Sloth Bear Scientific Name: UrsidaeMelursus ursinus

  2. Scientific Names Roar (loudly). Common Name: Grizzly Bear Scientific Name: Ursus arctos • For a grizzly bear, Ursus is the genus nameand arctos is the species name • Species names are unique to that individual group of organisms and are usually a description of an important trait or an indication of where that organism lives • Ursus maritimus, where does he live? • Maritim means to live near the sea Felis domesticus, catwhat does “domesticus” mean? Common Name: Polar Bear Scientific Name: Ursus maritimus Domesticus = “of the house” Meow.

  3. Linnaeus’s System of Classification • Linnaeus’s system is hierarchical, and includes 7 levels (largest to smallest) Example: Humans Kingdom Animalia Largest- plants, animals, insects, fish, bacteria- everything fits in here Phylum Chordata Kids Prefer Candy Over Fried Green Snakes. Yummy! Class Mammalia Order Primates Hominidae Family Genus Homo Species Smallest sapiens

  4. Bear Classification as an Example Duh, it’s the fox. Grizzly bear Black bear Giant panda Red fox Squirrel Coral snake Sea star KINGDOM Animalia Question: Which organism is more closely related to the polar bear, the squirrel or the fox? PHYLUM Chordata CLASS Mammalia ORDER Carnivora FAMILY Ursidae GENUS Ursus SPECIES Ursus arctos

  5. Evolutionary Classification Sec. 18-2 • Linneaus grouped organisms based on physical similarities, but Darwin’s concept of Descent with Modification changed all that • Phylogeny = grouping organisms into categories that represent lines of evolutionary descent instead of physical similarities Barnacles Limpet Crab If you had to group these 3 based on what they look like, who is more related?

  6. Barnacles, Limpets and Crabs Barnacles Limpet Conical Shells Appendages Crab Crab Barnacle Limpet Crab Barnacle Limpet CLASSIFICATION BASED ON ANALYSIS CLASSIFICATION BASED ON VISIBLE SIMILARITIES

  7. Evolutionary Classification Barnacles Cladogram = shows the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms Crab Crustaceans Gastropods Actually, crabs and barnacles are more closely related evolutionarily. Limpet Crab Barnacle Limpet This branching shows that crabs and barnacles share a more recent common ancestor. CLADOGRAM Molted exoskeleton Derived characteristics in crustaceans = -Segmented bodies -Hard external skeleton shed during growth Tiny free-swimming larva

  8. Three Domain System Domain Kingdom Phylum • Using a molecular clock, scientists group organisms according to how long they have been evolving independently • Now, we have another level added to Linnaeus’s 7 level system, called Domains • Today, we have 3 Domains • Bacteria = all bacteria in the kingdom Eubacteria, unicellular,members are Prokaryotes • Archaebacteria = includes the kingdom Archaebacteria • Eukarya = protists, fungi, plants and animals Class Order Family Genus Species

  9. Domain Bacteria Bacteria on a contact lens • Members of Kingdom Eubacteria are Prokaryotes • Prokaryotes = lack a nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles • Organelles = mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, vacuole, ribosome Some microbes live on our skin and protect us from many harmful agents. The drier areas, like the back, have few microbes; moist areas, such as under the arm, have many more. Bacteria on your teeth Examples of Bacteria: Lactobacillus bulgaricus helps turn milk into cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products. Lactose intolerant anyone? Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes tuberculosis Staphylococcus (a.k.a. staph) can cause serious infections and is one of the most drug-resistant bacteria Escherichia coli (a.k.a. E. coli) lives in the gut, where it helps digest food

  10. Domain Archaea Yellowsprings Yellowstone Park • Kingdom Archaebacteria are CRAZY bacteria • Unicellular, Prokaryotic • Live in the most extreme environments, where only crazy things live • Would you live in a swamp or marsh? • Or in the boiling water of a hot spring (over 163 oF)? • Or in a “black smoker” (deep sea air vents (very hot!)) • Or in brine (water with 9X amount of salt as the ocean) and in salt crust? • Or how about Mars?? Yes, Mars! Owen’s Lake, NV Black Smoker • Methanogens (methane-producers)--responsible for swamp gas and farts. • Extreme Thermophiles--live in hot springs and black smokers. • Extreme Halophiles--live in saturated brine and salt crust. Archae- Bacteria, anyone? Martian

  11. Domain Eukarya • 3. Protista – if it’s not a bacteria, plant, fungi or animal, it’s a protist, remember that! Live in moist places, like ponds • Keywords: eukaryote, lives in moist places, hard to classify • 4. Fungi – heterotrophs that feed on dead or decaying organic matter (organic = from living organisms), secrete enzymes that digest and then absorb (not eat) the smaller food molecules • Keywords: heterotroph, feeds on dead or decaying matter, secretes enzymes - absorbs food Eu = You, get it? • All organisms whose cells have a nucleus • Everything that is NOT a bacteria- including YOU! • Now we get to the last 4 in Linnaeus’s 6 Kingdom system

  12. Plantae and Animalia • 5. Plantae – multicellular, photosynthetic autotrophs, that don’t move, have cell walls with cellulose • Keywords: autotroph, photosynthesis, cell walls and cellulose • 6. Animalia – multicellular and heterotrophic, do not have cell walls, motile (can move), can live almost everywhere • Keywords: multicellular, heterotrophic, motile, no cell walls You have so much food! We have only crazy bacteria on Mars!

  14. DICHOTOMOUS KEY • METHOD OF IDENTIFYING ORGANISMA THAT INVOLVES PAIR OF CONTRASTING STATEMENTS.

  15. EACH PAIR BECOMES MORE SPECIFIC AS THE KEY PROGRESSES

  16. Using Dichotomous Keys • Consider the following animals. They are all related, but each is a separate species. Use the dichotomous key below to determine the species of each.

  17. Answers: • A. Deerus magnusB. Deerus pestisC. Deerus octagisD. Deerus purplinisE. Deerus deafusF. Deerus humpis • *note that all of these organisms are in the same genus. • Site – biology corner
