    Study Notes

    Animals

    Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia. They are characterized by their ability to move voluntarily and respond rapidly to stimuli. There are several ways to classify animals based on shared physical traits, behaviors, or evolutionary history. Here are some key aspects of animal classification:

    Classification Based on Physical Traits

    Physical characteristics such as body structure, presence or absence of limbs, and feeding habits can be used to classify animals into various categories. For example, fish have fins (or in some cases, wings), gills for respiration, and scales covering their skin. Insects, on the other hand, have three pairs of legs and six jointed appendages attached to their thorax. Vertebrates possess a backbone, while invertebrates do not. Herbivores feed mainly on plants, carnivores eat meat, and omnivores consume both plant matter and animal products.

    Phylogenetic Classification

    Phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relationships among species. This approach involves analyzing DNA sequences and morphological features to establish the ancestry and descent of different groups of animals. According to this method, all living animals fall under one of five major branches or phyla:

    1. Protostomia (Including mollusks, arthropods, annelids)
    2. Echinodermata (Starfish, sea cucumber, sea urchins)
    3. Chordata (Vertebrates like mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish)
    4. Ctenophora (Comb jelly)
    5. Placozoa (Flatworm with simple structure)

    Taxonomic Classification

    Taxonomy is another important aspect of animal classification. It is a hierarchical system that categorizes animals based on shared characteristics. The taxonomic hierarchy goes from broadest to most specific as follows:

    • Domain: All organisms can be classified into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
    • Kingdom: Animals belong to the kingdom Animalia.
    • Phylum: Fish are part of the phylum Chordata, while insects are found in the phylum Arthropoda.
    • Class: Examples of classes within chordates include Mammalia (mammals) and Aves (birds).
    • Order: Within mammal orders, we have Primates (monkeys, humans), Rodentia (rats, squirrels), Lagomorpha (rabbits), etc.
    • Family: Dolphinfish belongs to the family Irididae, while tuna falls under the Scombridae family.
    • Genus: Under genera, dolphinfish belongs to the genus Coryphaena, while tuna is part of the genus Thunnus.
    • Species: Finally, each unique animal is identified by its species name.

    Classification helps us understand the diversity of life on Earth and its relationships. By studying these various systems of classification, we gain a deeper understanding of the biological world around us.
