Science of Systematics and Taxonomy Flashcards
Taxonomy began as ______ _______ (for medicine and survival)
Applied Science
describing, naming, and classifying organisms
Taxonomy
Greek’s solution in applying order in the world they live in
Classification
discover, discern, describe, name, classify, study, compare, and identify the world’s living and extinct species and other taxa
Taxonomists
“Order could be demonstrated by categorizing life”
Aristotelian Legacy
making sure that knowledge and understanding of biodiversity is organized, easily understood, and can be easily accessed, and to ensure that science lives on. - for ____
verification
How a specie diversify
Speciation
study of organic diversity of organisms and the relationship among them
Systematics
Systematics is considered as _____ because it shows how organisms are integrated at different levels (species to population; past to present)
cornerstone
This is done by taxonomists to distinguish and identify. Accompanied by illustrations.
Documentation
Looking at individuals as a taxon
Taxonomy
Divergence of different group; speciation
Phylogeny
2 sides of biology
functional and biological science
Product of evolution
Diversity
component of systematics looking at the processes of nature that may have caused the variablity
Study of the process of evolution
biological or organismal processes involved that carry out life; biochem, physics, cell biology, photosynthesis
Functional Science
aka biological integration; interaction of species, population analysis, life cycle, phylogeny
biological science
__ % of all pharmaceutical compounds in USA are discovered from living organisms
50
potential organisms that not only produce medicines, fuels, but also improve quality of products. Ex. wine from ____ ; bread from ______; yogurt from _____
juice
yeast
bacteria
using present data and comparing it to the past data and extrapolates it using models to create predictions for the future
Enabling sustainability
“uncertainty is the engine of science”
predictions until proven
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
by providing the evolutionary and taxonomic framework that allows an understanding of genetic
Genetics
botany began with _____ _____
medical use
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
ensuring that species and other taxa are scientifically robust, well characterized, and can be accurately identified
Ecology
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
characterizing and documenting the fossils that form the basis of much of stratigraphy and are therefore the key to mining, oil, and gas exploration
Geology
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
discovering and documenting the organisms, many of them microscopic and poorly studied, that underpin and drive ocean productivity
Oceanography
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
discriminating species and supporting an understanding of life history
management of natural resources and species stocks (inventories)
Environmental Science
what century?
Extensive botanical and zoological anatomy (identification)
The start of the use of cadavers
Separation of botany and zoology
18th and 19th century
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
characterizing pests, diseases, beneficial organisms, and wild relatives of crop plants
Agricultural Science
what century?
rise of botany and zoology as applied science
16th century
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
enabling deeper, more accurate knowledge of the microbiome
Medicine
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
enabling past, current, future climate change to be tracked through understanding the effects on species and ecological communities
Climate Science
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
providing authoritative species name that underpin conservation planning and legislation
CONSERVATION SCIENCE
Application of taxonomy and systematics to what?
documenting biogeochemical cycles that can help stabilize and drive the earth system
Earth Science
what century?
intro of theory of evolution
Systematics was studied in universities while taxonomy was assigned in museums
19th century
used to explain and support why they made a classification scheme from theory of evolution
Evolutionary concepts
written because of the insufficiency of accepted concepts at that time
Origin of Species
was actually written due to those studying biodiversity at that time
Theory of Evolution
study & classification of organisms for determination of evolutionary relationship of organisms
Systematics
Involved in the classification, naming, cladistics, and phylogenetics
Systematics
Taxonomy deals with evolutionary history of organisms
True or False?
False.
Systematics can change with further studies
True or False?
False
Organisms are from the same species if they have the same?
species
classification of organisms
Taxonomy
Organisms are closely related if they have the same genus or species?
genus
