This activity can be done with any organisms in which there are many samples of the same taxocene (plants, lizards, fish, etc.) We did the activity with pressed and mounted tree samples. Discussion Questions: What is taxonomy? –The naming, describing and indentifying of organisms Why do we classify objects? - To help us communicate How does this apply to science? Why would scientists need to classify organisms? Can’t just call something a plant. Too many plants. What is the name of a scientist who studies plants? What tools do scientists use to identify the classification of an organism? Taxonomic Key Terminology- Need to learn how botanists refer to the different plant characteristics on order to identify the organism Herbarium- Library of plants. Collect, press and mount.

The scientific study of the diversity of organisms and how they are related in an evolutionary context. Taxonomy (taxis=arrangement, nomos=law ) - is the science of identifying taxa, classifying them and naming them. Taxonomy is synonymous with Systematics but sometimes restricted to classification. Classification - is the arrangement of groups based on common characteristics. Similar species are placed in a Genus (plural, genera); similar genera are grouped into a Family; similar families are grouped into Order...Classes....Division...Kingdom. Taxa (singular, taxon) - is a generic term applied to any taxonomic group at any rank (see Article 1.1

    Extractions: Principles of classification and evolution of vascular plants; taxonomic tools and collection techniques; use of keys. Field and laboratory studies emphasizing identification of local flowering plants and recognition of major plant families. Meets June 20-July 16, 2004. Students who enroll in Plant Taxonomy at Lakeside will spend four weeks exploring the many habitats (wetland, prairie, forest) of Iowa's lakes region to study the diverse flora of this region (home to more than 800 vascular plant species). The majority of class time is spent in the field. Topics to be covered include principles of vascular plant classification; vegetative and reproductive morphology; recognition characteristics of 40 major plant families, use of dichotomous keys; and field collection methodology. Each student will prepare and submit a collection of 100-150 vascular plants as a course requirement. There will be one overnight field trip to central Iowa during the third week of this course. There are two required texts for this course: (1) Vascular Plant Families (1977, James Payne Smith, Jr., Mad River Press, Inc.; ISBN #0916422070); and (2)

    Extractions: Plant Systematics: Bio 435 Plant Taxonomy or Systematic Botany is the science of identifying, naming, and classifying plants. While plant taxonomy itself is an interesting field, it is also vital to many other botanical and biological fields. Plant ecology, the study of the interactions of plants with each other and their environment depends on persons with a good taxonomic background. Wildlife studies, wetland studies, and resource management studies also require identification of the species in the plant community. There is a demand for individuals with good plant identification skills. For example, most National Forests and Natural Resource agencies hire a field botanist. Wetland delineation involves being able to identify wetland plants. This course will give you the basic skills necessary to identify plants. The course will acquaint you will the science of Systematic Botany and with some of the extensive terminology taxonomists use to identify plants. You will also become familiar with the major plant families and will learn to identify many local species on sight. Catalog Description:

All cultures, whether based on hunting and gathering or advanced technology, place plants in groups and give names to those groups. Those cultures that are most directly connected to their raw plant materials tend to recognize such functional groups as food plants, poisonous plants, medicinal plants, plants that are useful for building shelters, and those that make good weapons. Within each of these groups, plants that look alike are apt to have similar names. A Greek, Theophrastus (370-285 BC) is generally credited with being the first in the European tradition of plant taxonomy. He grouped plants on the basis of their habit and duration, recognizing trees, shrubs, trees, annual, biennial, and perennial herbs. He must have been a keen observer because, in his book Historia Plantarum

59. PLANT TAXONOMY
    plant taxonomy Last modified 29 Feb 2004. Trifolium pratense (Fabaceae), Taxonomy is about grouping things; plant taxonomy is about grouping plants.  
    http://herbarium.usu.edu/Teaching/bio3400/plant_taxonomy.htm
    
    Extractions: Taxonomy is about grouping things ; plant taxonomy is about grouping plants. The primary goal of a plant taxonomist is to try and summarize the variation in the plant world and express it in a manner that reflects the phylogenetic relationships among the various taxa observed. Let us look at the last sentence in more detail. What do we mean by the variation in the plant world ? The most obvious variation is the morphological variation, in other words, variation in size, shape, and color. But plants also vary in the chemical compounds that they produce (think how different our plant foods taste), their biosynthetic pathways, and reactions to stimuli. There is also variation in how their embryos develop, how they undergo meiosis, how they protect their leaves from sunburn, what triggers flowering, etc., etc., etc. Taxonomists would like to include all aspects of a plant's variation in their considerations but, in practice, most concentrate on a particular set of characters. Those concerned with fieldwork and identification are apt to stress the variation in morphological and ecological characters; those involved in plant breeding will often focus on chromosome numbers, sizes, and shape; those concerned most with phylogeny currently focus on variation in gene sequences. That is because most of the preferred methods of numerical phylogenetic analysis are not well suited to examination of morphological characters.

60. SASB Book Review -- Sivarajan
    Reviews from the Society of Australian Systematic Biologists. Introduction to the Principles of plant taxonomy Second edition VV Sivarajan (edited by NK Robson).  
    http://www.sasb.org.au/Sivarajan.html
    
    Extractions: V.V. Sivarajan (edited by N.K. Robson) Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. 1991. xiv+292 pp. ISBN 0-521-35679-2. This review continues a series started in separate reviews [ An Introduction to Plant Taxonomy, second edition (C. Jeffrey); Plant Taxonomy and Biosystematics, second edition (Clive A. Stace); Plant Systematics, second edition Fundamentals of Plant Systematics (Albert E. Radford)], and concluded elsewhere [ Plant Taxonomy: The Systematic Evaluation of Comparative Data (Tod F. Stuessy)], to assess how well the current crop of plant taxonomy textbooks meet the challenge of presenting systematics as a modern science, rather than as a more traditional scholarly exercise. This book by Sivarajan is explicitly aimed at university undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking a subject covering plant systematics. It would be completely unsuitable for the general public, as it assumes a fair knowledge of introductory biology, and it is probably even beyond the needs of general botany graduates. As such, it should be expected to meet the criteria specified for this series of reviews, and indeed it does to a large extent. However, there are notable lapses, as we shall see. The book is a revised version of one originally produced and published in India in 1984, which was reasonably well-received at the time. It has been updated by the author, and then edited by Norman Robson. It is organised into 9 chapters, plus an Epilogue - there are no appendices or other extraneous matter. There are no family descriptions, no list of terminology, and almost no illustrations or tables - this is dense theoretical text from beginning to end. The index is comprehensive enough, including all taxonomic names, and the bibliography is very extensive and mostly up-to-date, being certainly the best of the books reviewed so far. The examples chosen are extremely cosmopolitan, covering all continents (but favouring the northern hemisphere), which is a refreshing change from the parochial books reviewed last time.
