Welcome to the Wonders of Taxonomy and Classification Why Do We Have Taxonomy Firstly have you ever thought about why we name things at all? If you have you probably realised pretty quickly that names are very important for talking to, and communicating with other people. They allow you to give the other person quite a lot of information about the animal or even plant that you are talking about. However not everybody uses the same name for the same animal. For instance the name Robin is used for different birds in different parts of the world. Carl Linnaeus Because common names can vary so much a scientist called Carl Linnaeus suggested in the 1750's that an international way of naming things be set up so that scientists all over the world could understand each other better. Read more about Carl Linnaeus Since then his original binomial (double name) system has been improved by a number of other scientists, and now you can use the proper scientific name for an animal anywhere in the world and other scientists will know what you are talking about. Cladistic Analyses or visit one of these links How It Works All the living things are divided into a series of sets and subsets depending on how closely related they are. For instance all living things are divided into 5

INTRODUCTION During the Mesozoic Era approximately 245 to 65 million years ago, while dinosaurs roamed the land and pterosaurs soared in the air, the waters were dominated by an equally spectacular variety of highly adapted reptiles. Amongst the first fossil vertebrates to be descovered and recognised, prehistoric swimming reptiles or 'sea-dragons' occur in numerous different forms and have been classified into many distinct groups. This Web Site brings information about one particular group of these fascinating prehistoric marine reptiles to the attention of a wider audience, whilst also being useful to anyone already interested in the Sauropterygia : plesiosaurs and their kin.

Classification / Taxonomy of Cetaceans Whales, dolphins and porpoises belong to the order Cetacea. The following taxonomy provides the most complete and up-to-date* reference in terms of current research in the field of cetacean taxonomy. The list provides common (vernacular) names, scientific names and the names for subspecies where these have been described. A number of the subspecies below have not yet been named, and in such cases these are simply referred to as subsp. in the list. The common names assigned for these animals are based upon their distribution. The links below provide a detailed fact file for those cetacean species most commonly found in the Moray Firth and North Sea. Order CETACEA (85 species) Suborder MYSTICETI. The Baleen (Moustached) Whales (14 species) The baleen whales are filter feeders which sieve food from the seawater with baleen; hair-fringed plates made from keratin (the same material as fingernails are made from). The minke whale is the most common of the baleen whales in the Moray Firth, although other species have been recorded in these waters including the fin whale, Sei whale and, for the first time in 2001, the humpback whale.

Critical and Creative Thinking - Bloom's Taxonomy What are critical thinking and creative thinking? What's Bloom's taxonomy and how is it helpful in project planning? How are the domains of learning reflected in technology-rich projects? Benjamin Bloom (1956) developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior in learning. This taxonomy contained three overlapping domains: the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Within the cognitive domain, he identified six levels: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. These domains and levels are still useful today as you develop the critical thinking skills of your students. Critical thinking involves logical thinking and reasoning including skills such as comparison, classification, sequencing, cause/effect, patterning, webbing, analogies, deductive and inductive reasoning, forecasting, planning, hyphothesizing, and critquing.

Primate Taxonomy Dr. Bill Sellers Introduction In the last lecture I introduced the general ideas of evolution and taxonomy. Now it's time to look at how this relates to the evolution of humans. (# slide of geological time scale) To some extent, factors shaping human evolution started back at the creation of the universe. Certainly, the origin of the earth is important, as is the first life appearing on it. From there, we have the origin of complex single celled organisms (protozoa), then multi-celled organisms (metazoa), animals with backbones (vertebrates), first land vertebrates, and even mammals. Traditionally, however, we limit the study of human evolution to the study of just our own mammalian order: that of the primates (order primata The aim of this lecture is to discuss what a primate is, and to introduce you to the range of primates present in the world today. I will show you some pictures, but I don't expect you to remember all the names, and you certainly won't be asked to identify any of these animals in an exam, but an appreciation of the wide variation in these animals is essential for when we come on to discuss how they, and consequently how we might have evolved. As I talk about the primates, I will attempt to map out a likely family tree, concentrating more on the animals that are most similar to ourselves. This relationship should become clearer as the course progresses.

Taxonomy, Transitional Forms, and the Fossil Record Keith B. Miller Department of Geology Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506 The recognition and interpretation of patterns in the fossil record require an awareness of the limitations of that record. Only a very small fraction of the species that have lived during past geologic history is preserved in the rock record. Most marine species are soft-bodied, or have thin organic cuticles, and are essentially unpreservable except under the most extraordinary conditions. Furthermore, the destructive processes active in most marine environments prevent the preservation of even shelled organisms under normal conditions. Preservational opportunities are even more limited in the terrestrial environment. Most fossil vertebrate species are represented by no more than a few fragmentary remains. Because of the preservational biases of the fossil record, paleontologists must reconstruct evolutionary relationships from isolated branches of an originally very bushy tree. The process of describing and classifying organisms introduces its own patterns into the taxonomic hierarchy. First, because organisms must be placed in one group or another, taxonomy gives the impression of discontinuity. Secondly, the placement of species into higher taxa is done retrospectively; that is, by looking backward through time. The evolutionary significance of particular morphologic transitions is only recognized because of the subsequent success of particular lineages. The defining characters of higher taxa are thus a consequence of history, and do not represent some objective scale of the magnitude of morphologic divergence. Closely-related species from two different higher taxa may actually be more similar in morphology than two distantly-related species belonging to the same group.

The logistics parks are yet another example of local officials simply ignoring Beijing's attempts to slow the economy. Almost 1,000 of these parks have been built or are under construction across the country, the smallest of which is estimated to cost about 400 million yuan. Some have been built in isolated areas without even the essential ingredient of a road-linking infrastructure. Up to 60 per cent have remained unused since completion, says Wang Yaoqiu, director of the North Communications University's Logistics Institute." Review complete information.

By Tom Smith Mon, 15 Oct 2001 print this page A search engine, on your intranet or at Google, makes use of innovative algorithms and dazzling mathematics. But judging whether these results are any good or not is completely in the eye of the beholder. It's subjective. 'Search engines sometimes don't provide valuable results. This is can often be because when you know little about what you're looking for, you have little idea as to what to search for. For example, someone interested in learning about crabs may never have heard of the term crustacean (or know how to spell it). A taxonomy is simply a classification or an organization of related keywords or concepts. A better search engine is essential in a world where more and more people now understand what "information overload" and "being lost in hyperspace" feels like.

They are a sister group to arthropoda, though some aspects remind to nematods. Tardigrades are quite small meiofaunal animals, the body length ranges between 0.08 mm and 1.5 mm. They have usually four pair of legs (in some species a reduction occurs) and a nervous system with ventral ganglia and a lobed brain. The body is covered with a cuticle that is shed several times during development . The cuticle is chitinous. There is no metamorphosis, though young tardigrades may look slightly different to adults. Tardigrades are oviparous. Some species are facultative parthenogenic, some may be obligatoric parthenogenetic. The fertilization may be internal or external. contact and mail Animated waterbear with friendly permission from Clark W. Beasley - thanks a lot.

Tutorial on Problem-Based Learning Taxonomy of Socratic Questioning Steps Background Socratic Taxonomy Brainstorming ... References The taxonomy of Socratic questions, created by Richard Paul, is not a hierarchy in the traditional sense. The categories build upon each other, but they do not necessarily follow a pattern or design. One question's response will lead into another category of questioning not predetermined by the teacher/facilitator. In keeping with the PBL philosophy, this aspect of the model is most conducive! The role of the skilled teacher/facilitator is to keep the inquiry "train on track," but, also, to allow the students to "travel to a viable destination" of their own design. The following table has been adapted from: Paul, Richard, Critical Thinking: How to Prepare Students for a Rapidly Changing World, Questions that Probe Reasons and Evidence Questions of Clarification Questions that Probe Assumptions Questions that Probe Reasons and Evidence What do you mean by ?
