    This document provides instructions for an assignment to classify various birds using Linnaean taxonomy and cladistics. Students are asked to complete a taxonomy chart listing the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species for each bird. They are also asked to create a cladogram arranging the birds in a branching diagram to show evolutionary relationships. The document includes a partially completed taxonomy chart for blue jay, robin, cardinal and canary as an example. Students then answer questions explaining the traits the birds share based on taxonomy and their reasoning for the positions of birds in the cladogram.

    The document discusses classifying different types of birds using both Linnaean taxonomy and cladistics.

    Birds are classified by Linnaean taxonomy (kingdom, phylum, class, etc.) and cladistics/phylogeny.

    The document instructs you to create a cladogram by arranging boxes with different bird names and connecting them with lines based on their evolutionary relationships.

    Classification of Living Organisms Assignment

    Instructions: For this assignment, you will categorize a group of animals by two forms of
    classification:  phylogeny (cladistics) and Linnaean taxonomy. The 06.01 lesson taught you
    about different systems used to classify living things. This template will help classify the
    following birds: blue jay, robin, cardinal, canary, and pelican.

    Linnaean Taxonomy Chart


    Complete the chart by researching online to fill in the missing classification boxes. Some have
    been filled in for you to guide you along the way. You don’t have to use this chart. You can make
    your own if you would like.
    Blue Jay
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: chordata
    Class: aves
    Order: passeriforme
    Family:corvidae
    Genes;cyanocitta
    `Species:cyanocitta cristata

    Robin

    Phylum: chordata
    Class: aves
    Order: passeriforme
    Family: turdidea
    Genes: turdus Linneas
    Species: Turdus migratori Linnaeus

    Cardinal

    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: chordata
    Class: aves
    Order: passeriforme
    Family: cardinalidae
    Genes: cardinalis Bonaparte
    Species: cardinalis lis cardinalis

    Finch
    Kingdom: Animalia
    Phylum: chordata
    Class: aves

    Cladogram
    Create your cladogram below by using the birds listed in boxes and lines provided. You will need
    to arrange the boxes and lines how you best feel they should go. You may delete any extra lines
    you don’t need. Remember, there is no wrong way to make a cladogram. However, you must be
    able to explain why you have grouped them in such a way.

    Here’s a reminder of how a cladogram can look:

    Questions:
    Using what you have learned in the lesson and the research assignment, answer the following
    questions in complete sentences.

    • Describe the physical traits your birds had in common with one another in
    your taxonomy chart. Break down your descriptions by taxa (kingdom, phylum, class,
    order…).
    The physical traits that all of the birds have in common is they are all in the aves class,
    they all breath air, they lay shelled eggs, have feathers, and also all have beaks and are capable
    of flight.
    • Explain the positions of each species in your cladogram. Why did you
    place each of your animals in those positions?
    The reason I positioned them this way is because the pelican is A because it has the least
    relation with the rest of the birds. Birds B and C are more alike because they live on land. Birds
    D and E are more alike because they both sing songs to attract mates for reproduction.
    • Which was more difficult to make, the taxonomy chart or the cladogram?
    Explain your answer. In my opinion it was the taxonomy chart. The reason for this is
    because it was a lot of research to find the species name and everything you need to know
    about each bird.
