Study Notes
Correct Taxonomic Names and Order
- The earliest name should be used.
- One particular name can be used only for one taxon.
- "Binomial system" is based on classification of organisms based on their overall similarity.
- Whittaker recommended kingdoms.
- Geographical isolation; species showing morphological differences, but capable of gene exchange.
- Modern science of classification is called biosystematics.
Taxonomic Categories
- A category that is not a taxonomic category is muscidae nomenclature stability.
- Example of taxonomic categories: Order, class, subphylum in one name. Species-genus-family order in three names.
- Phenetics & cladistics are methods of classification
- 5 subspecies & 4 biospecies under phenetics
- Evolutionary cladistics is a type of classification
- 3 genetic species & 2 sibling species under evolutionary cladistics
- 2 names (genus-species-family) and 3 names (genus-family-order).
Classification of Organisms
- Trypanosoma: a genus in a specific order.
- Leishmania: a genus in a specific order.
- Giardia: a genus of organisms in a particular order.
- Emeria: does not belong to a genus known to have cysts.
- Organisms with cysts include Plasmodium, Babesia, and Toxoplasma.
- Myxozoa in phylum Porifera
- Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Cubozoa & Anthozoa in phylum Cnidaria
- Phylum Platyhelminthes has an estimated 25,000 species.
- Flatworms belong to the phylum Platyhelminthes.
Gut Type of Certain Groups
- Cestodes: have no gut.
- Trematodes: have a two-branched gut.
Larval Development and Body Cavity
- Coracicium develops in certain groups.
- Six-hooked oncosphere is a stage larva.
- Taenia has multiple ovaries in adult stage.
- Pseudocoelomates: characterized by a primary body cavity
- Copulatory bursa is a unique characteristic of certain male groups.
Species Count and Significance of Nematodes
- Approximately 20,000 described nematode species.
- An estimated 200,000 species may be significant from the veterinary point of view.
Specific Features of Nematodes
- Nematode buccal capsule may contain teeth and other structures.
- Lumbricus terrestris, a terrestrial species, has certain characteristics.
Other Features of Different Phyla
- Leeches may have a feeding apparatus.
- Features of Cephalopoda include piercing snouts.
- Scaphopoda include bivalves.
- Features of gastropods include citinous jaws.
- Features of prochordates include stomochord.
- Chordates have a notochord, an essential feature.
- Acrania, Myxini, Agnatha, and Cyclostomata are categories related to vertebrates.
- Vertebrata includes gnathostomata/cyclostomata & vertebrates.
Body Covering Features
- Actinopterygians have various types of body covering.
- Chondrichthyes have cosmoid scales as a characteristic.
- Pelvic and caudal fins, and body covering (e.g., scales) are features of some vertebrates.
- Fin types serve specific functions (e.g., as limbs).
Feeding Mechanisms
- Leeches have a diverse feeding apparatus.
- Cephalopoda have piercing snouts.
