Classification
Main taxonomic groups
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
Biodiversity
The amount of different species in a certain amount of space
The more biodiversity an ecosystem has, the healthier it is
species richness
can be calculated by counting the relative species abundance
The reproductive or biological species conept
classifying species based on the reproductive behaviour of the species
much more accurate than morphological species concept
howeer cannot classify interbreed
other definition of species
ecological species model
mate-recognition species model
genetic species model
The importance of classification
It helps to identify each species correctly
without classification it is difficult to know what a species is because there are too many species
phylogenetic tree
shows the ancestor of a species
some species may have some common ancestor
Binomial system
The name of a species contains 2 terms
First term is Genus
Second term is species
the concept of species
It makes everyone make the same model when talking about something in biology
The morphological species concept
This concept differenciates different species only by observing it
