Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The taxonomic Hierarchy was proposed by “Carl Linnaeus” to name and classify organisms into a series of formal categories. It includes different ranks such as domain, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

In the species name
canis lupis, what level
of classification does
the first word refer to?
the organism's species
the organism's phylum O
the organism's genus
the organism's family
Systematics involves the classification into groups with a focus on evolutionary relationships. True or False
An artificial system of classification involves groupings organisms based on similarities and identifying shared characteristics. True or false
Remembering the order of the taxonomic system from Domain to species is something you will need to know. One method to memorize a list is to use a Mnenomic device. The two best devices for taxonomy are either an Acronym or an Acrostic. Please see this link OR ask instructor if you need help on this! Examples of Mnemonic devices
What is your Mnemonic device for the following list (in this order)?
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
