- 6 reptiles
- India has 172 globally threatened species, representing 2.9% of the world's total threatened species.
Taxonomy and Classification
- Biological diversity is essential for ecosystem functioning and is characterized by the variety of life forms.
- Classification groups living organisms into categories for easier study and understanding.
- Taxonomy arranges living organisms based on shared characteristics, involving a hierarchical system: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
- Nomenclature assigns scientific names to groups, consisting of a genus name and species epithet.
- R.H. Whittaker proposed the five-kingdom classification; molecular taxonomy enhances accuracy in classification.
Tools and Concepts in Taxonomy
- Cladograms illustrate evolutionary relationships between species, showcasing shared and derived characteristics.
- Phylogenetic trees depict evolutionary pathways based on physical and genetic similarities.
- Key terms include:
- Shared Character: common attributes between two lineages.
- Derived Character: features unique to a clade.
- Threatened Species: organisms at risk of future endangerment.
Significance of Ecosystems
- Ecosystems consist of living organisms (flora and fauna), non-living components (minerals, climate, soil), and their interactions.
- Understanding ecosystems is crucial for conservation and biodiversity management, emphasizing the need for careful classification and documentation.
