    Study Notes

    Taxonomy Levels

    • The level of taxonomy that deals with the problems and principles of higher taxa is Systematics.

    Ancestral Traits

    • Shared ancestral traits are used in taxonomy to determine evolutionary relationships among organisms.

    Macro Taxonomy

    • Macro taxonomy refers to the study of higher taxa, such as kingdoms, phyla, and classes.

    Micro Taxonomy

    • The main focus of Micro taxonomy is the study of lower taxa, such as genera and species.

    Species Relationships

    • The relationships between species in taxonomy are determined through the comparison of their morphological, anatomical, and molecular characteristics.
