Classification of Organisms
• Systematics or taxonomy– Study of the kinds and diversity of
organisms and of the evolutionary relationships among them
![Page 3: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A Taxonomic Hierarchy
• Taxon– Any grouping of animals that shares a
particular set of characteristics
• Taxonomic categories– Hierarchically arranged (broader to
specific)– Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order,
family, genus, species– Above species level there are no
definitions for each category
![Page 4: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Nomenclature
• Binomial system of nomenclature• International Code of Zoological
Nomenclature– Homo sapiens (H. sapiens)– Other naming rules
![Page 6: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Molecular Approaches to Animal Systematics
• Relatedness of animals reflected in proteins and DNA.– Nuclear and mitochondrial DNA– Ribosomal RNA
![Page 7: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Domains and Kingdoms
• Ribosomal RNA studies– Distant evolutionary relationships– Evolutionary conservation results in slow rates of change.
• Three major lineages (Domains)– Eubacteria
• Bacteria
– Archaea• Extremophile microbes
– Eukarya• Organisms with compartmentalized cells• Nuclear membranes mitochondrial and chloroplast membranes
• Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) common in early history of life and makes base of tree net-like
![Page 8: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Animal Systematics
• Goal– Arrange animals into MONOPHYLETIC GROUPS
using traits having a genetic basis and that can be measured (characters).
– Single ancestral species and all descendants
• Groupings reflecting insufficient knowledge– Members of a lineage found to have separate
ancestry• Polyphyletic groups
– Some, but not all, members of a lineage included• Paraphyletic group
![Page 10: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Approaches to Animal Systematics
• Evolutionary systematics– Traditional approach– Homologies useful in classification– Phylogenetic trees depict relationships,
time, and abundance.
![Page 12: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Approaches to Animal Systematics
• Phylogenetic systematics (cladistics)– Homologies of recent origin are most
useful.– Ancestral characters
• Common to all members of a group• Symplesiomorphies
– Outgroup• Related group not included in study group• Used to help decide whether or not a character
is ancestral or more recently derived
![Page 14: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Approaches to Animal Systematics
• Phylogenetic systematics (continued)– Derived characters
• Arisen since common ancestry with the outgroup
• Synapomorphies
– Clade• Related subset within a lineage
– Cladogram• Depicts a hypothesis regarding
monophyletic lineage
![Page 15: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Figure 7.5 This hypothetical cladogram shows five taxa (1-5) and characters (A-H) used in deriving taxonomic relationships.

Approaches to Animal Systematics
• Phylogenetic species concept– Group of populations that have evolved
independently of other groups of populations– Monophyletic– Share one or more synapomorphies
• Hierarchical nesting– Cladograms represent nested groups that
share synapomorphic characters.– Less inclusive nests contain closely related
organisms.

Other Patterns of Organization
• Unicellular (cytoplasmic) level of organization– Protists (unicellular)– Sponges (cell
aggregate)
• Diploblastic organization– Ectoderm (outer
cellular layer)– Endoderm (inner
cellular layer)– Mesoglea (noncellular)
![Page 25: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Other Patterns of Organization
• Triploblastic Organization– Mesoderm
• Third tissue later sandwiched between ectoderm and endoderm
• Supportive, contractile, and blood cells
– Body cavities often present• Organ development• Exchanges by diffusion• Storage• Hydrostatic skeletons• Elimination of wastes and reproductive products• Facilitate increased body size
![Page 26: Chapter 7 Animal Classification, Phylogeny, and Organization](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022033008/56649efd5503460f94c11370/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Figure 7.11 Triploblastic Organization.
a) Triploblastic acoelomate– Mesoderm forms solid mass.
b) Triploblastic pseudocoelomate– Body cavity not entirely lined by mesoderm. – Gut is not associated with muscle or connective tissue.
c) Triploblastic coelomate– Body cavity completely surrounded by mesoderm.– Mesenteries suspend visceral structures in body cavity.

Higher Animal Taxonomy
• Animalia is monophyletic– Molecular and embryological evidence
• Four phyla originated independently• Bilaterally symmetrical phyla
– Protostome phyla• Spiral, determinate cleavage• Trochophore larval stage• Ecdysozoa
– Molt a cuticle
• Lophotrochozoa
– Deuterostome phyla• Radial, indeterminate cleavage
