142. Biognomen A Linnaean taxonomy arranged to show the evolutionary relationships among groups. One can navigate through the hierarchy vertically, or follow a lineage horizontally at a particular level of the hierarchy. http://members.aol.com/bafiler/

The Biognomen This is a Linnaean taxonomy arranged to show the evolutionary relationships among taxa. The evolutionary trees are mapped. Just click on the name of the group you want to see more detail on. Names in green are ancestor or descendant taxa. Clicking on a green name will keep you at the same level of the hierarchy. You can also go directly to a group by typing its scientific or common name in the search box. Be sure to use the singular form of common names. Criticism of cladistic taxonomy There are numerous good evolutionary trees on the web. I especially like the Tree of Life and the UCMP Phylogeny Wing . The problem is that they are all cladograms, not true evolutionary trees. While cladistics is a useful tool, for a general-purpose taxonomy the systematist should not stop there and merely use the cladogram as the final classification system. A classification system should indicate what an organism is like, without requiring one to trace its entire evolutionary history. The first problem with cladistic taxonomy is that many biologists are attempting to graft it onto the incompatible Linnaean system, insisting that each taxon should be a clade. This is possible if only living forms are considered, but it results in systems where primitive groups are excessively split, compared to the more advanced groups (such as four divisions of gymnosperms, only one division for the angiosperms). If extinct species are include, the method breaks down altogether. For example, if classes for mammals and reptiles are defined, the common ancestor of those two groups cannot be assigned to a class. Of course this same logic applies to the genus, so cladists need to either propose a new system of naming fossil species, or break their system and allow paraphyletic genera.

The Taxonomy of Barney Evidence of Convergence in Hominid Evolution by Edward C. Theriot, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Arthur E. Bogan, Freshwater Molluscan Research, Sewell, New Jersey Earle E. Spamer, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania [This is an abbreviated version of the original article. The full text appears in AIR 1:1, January/February 1995.] [School groups can hear and see a presentation based on this lecture. To arrange one, please telephone Edward Theriot or Earle Sapamer at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The number is 215-299-1000.] According to National Geographic, hominids evolved first on the African continent, radiating to occupy the other continents during the past tens to hundreds of thousands of years. Current opinions put forth by anthropologists indicate that several genera and species evolved, of which only Homo exists today. The only evidence on which these suppositions are based are skeletal remains, preserved mostly as fragments. Cladistic studies of the characteristics of the bone fragments have led scientists to derive the evolutionary relationships between these different hominid animals. However, from field evidence and empirical observations, we have discovered a previously unrecognized form of hominid, alive today, which is presumably globally distributed. It is certainly found in North America, where we first observed it. Its external morphology is completely unlike hominid morphology, for which reason it has been until now overlooked. Its discovery has immediate and far-reaching implications on understanding hominid evolution.

150. The ABC's Of Animal Taxonomy An introduction to the scientific classification of animals, with a discussion of conventional Linnaean and cladistic taxonomy. The ABC s of Animal taxonomy. http://home.pcisys.net/~dlblanc/taxonomy.html

The ABC's of Animal Taxonomy by Donald L. Blanchard Taxonomy: The science of classifying plants and animals into species and logical groups of species. This article was originally published in The Cold Blooded News , the newsletter of the Colorado Herpetological Society , Vol 26, #1, January, 1999. There are two distinct taxonomic systems currently in vogue among professional zoologists today. The traditional, or Linnaean, taxonomy is still largely in favor among field workers, conservationists, and husbandry people. The alternative, Cladistic taxonomy, is overwhelmingly supported by evolutionary biologists. Over time, biologist added additional, larger and higher level group names, called taxons (plural: taxa), from Family up to Kingdom, arranged in a hierarchical order, until a standardized 7-level hierarchy was established, as follows: Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Reptilia Order Squamata Family Colubridae Genus Pituophis species catenifer (Bullsnake, Gopher Snake) To further facilitate grouping similar or closely related groups, these taxa may optionally be divided with from one to three named intermediate-level taxa, as required. For example: Class Major division (required) Subclass 1st optional subdivision Infraclass 3rd optional subdivision Superorder 2nd optional subdivision Order Major division (required) The taxa Superkingdom and Infraspecies are generally not used, leaving a maximum of 26 possible taxonomic categories, although all are rarely required for any given species (or subspecies).

A Taxonomy for Key Escrow Encryption Systems Dorothy E. Denning Georgetown University Dennis K. Branstad, Trusted Information Systems This paper was published in the Communications of the ACM , Vol. 39, No. 3, March 1996. 1. Introduction A key escrow encryption system (or, simply escrowed encryption system ) is an encryption system with a backup decryption capability that allows authorized persons (users, officers of an organization, and government officials), under certain prescribed conditions, to decrypt ciphertext with the help of information supplied by one or more trusted parties who hold special data recovery keys. The data recovery keys are not normally the same as those used to encrypt and decrypt the data, but rather provide a means of determining the data encryption/decryption keys. The term key escrow is used to refer to the safeguarding of these data recovery keys. Other terms used include key archive key backup , and data recovery system. [Since this paper was published, the term key recovery has also become commonplace. Another term that is used, particularly in Europe, is

155. Blooms Taxonomy Comprehension Bloom s taxonomy. Reading Services Center. PURPOSE. Each level of Bloom s original taxonomy has been restated for clarity and simplification. http://www.ops.org/reading/blooms_taxonomy.html

Teachers' Corner Comprehension: Bloom's Taxonomy Reading Services Center PURPOSE To apply Bloom's theory of developing higher levels of thought processes to everyday classroom reading. EXPLANATION Many students are directed to read narrative or expository selections for classroom assignments for the purpose of answering factual questions. This type of reading for literal comprehension is often emphasized because of the ease and equity of evaluation. The emphasis is limiting because many students do not develop a personal attachment to books they read. They do not see reading as a bridge to their imaginations, a way to understand how others live their lives, or a method to gain self-understanding and evaluation. Questions that teachers ask can direct the students to the realization that reading has a greater and more diverse purpose than just the simple recall of facts. If this can be accomplished, it is likely that students will place a higher value on reading, continue to turn to it for pleasure and as a resource, and will establish it as a life-long habit. PROCEDURE For any assigned reading selection, develop questions that reflect the progression of thinking and responding from the literal level to the evaluative. Not all levels need to be developed for every selection. Consider a range that will lead the student to the greater purpose of reading.

At first, because of the limited knowledge of plant structures, artificial classifications, beginning with the most ancient one into herbs, shrubs, and trees, were necessary. These simple categories merely cataloged, in a tentative way, the rapidly accumulating material, in preparation for a classification based on natural relationships. Modern taxonomic classification, based on the natural concepts and system of the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus , has progressed steadily since the 18th century, modified by advances in knowledge of morphology, evolution, and genetics.
