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.
