In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Try EdrawMax to create your taxonomy charts or just use this one immediately. Except for the taxonomy charts, EdrawMax supports creating over 280 types of diagrams. It is easy to import or export your diagram into multiple formats, like graphs, PDF, HTML, Visio file and more. Just try it now!

The animal kingdom contains many phyla. Some of them are: Vertebrates, Arthropods, Annelids, Molluscs, Nematodes .

Description The moral of the story is that trying to hand-draw a phylogeny of birds at the same time as doing a PhD is a poor decision. Insert disclaimer about how the phylogenetics of total-group birds is in a constant state of flux, and future studies will likely modify some of the relationships depicted here. Taxa that have been colored in are extant species. Nothing is to scale.

This Classification System Science Lesson includes printable activities to learn more about taxonomy, the orderly classification of plants and animals.
