Study Notes
- Systematics is the process of identifying and classifying organisms.
- It can be divided into numerical, biochemical, and experimental disciplines.
- Biological classification aims to establish relationships, study evolution, and identify organisms.
- Artificial classification uses form and shape, while natural classification considers multiple features.
- Phylogenetic classification is based on evolutionary ancestry.
- Linnaean hierarchy includes categories from kingdom to species.
- The hierarchy has obligate and intermediate categories.
- Theophrastus proposed the first artificial system of classification.
- The natural system of classification was proposed by George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker.
- Phylogenetic classification uses cladistics to generate trees showing genetic relationships among organisms.
