Binomial Nomenclature

• Genus + species
• Examples:
– Rana catesbeiana: bull frog
– Turdus migratorius: American robin
– Homo sapiens: modern human
– Mucsa domestica: house fly
• Subspecies sometimes included
– Gorilla gorilla beringei: mountain gorilla
Taxonomic Hierarchy
• Linnaeus classified organisms into
groups, based on shared characteristics.
• There were different levels of groups.
• Each level nests within the group above.
• In his system, the Kingdom was the most
inclusive. Successive groups contain
fewer and fewer organisms.
Linnaeus and Classification
• Carolus Linnaeus designed our hierarchical
classification scheme.
– Kingdom
– Phylum
– Class
– Order
– Family
– Genus
– Species

Binomial Nomenclature
• Idea is that each species is assigned a
unique name
• Name has two parts: a genus name
and a specific epithet
• Together, the two words make up the
scientific name of the species
Binomial Nomenclature
• Allows clear communication between
different researchers
• Prevents confusion that can occur from
use of common names
Scientific Names: General Guidelines

• Scientific names are based on Latin.


• Scientific names are always italicized
(when printed) or underlined (when
hand-written)
• Modern scientific names follow
international guidelines
Scientific Names: General Guidelines

• Different species with the same genus


name are considered to be more closely
related to each other than to other
species.
• Genus name is always capitalized;
specific epithet is always lower-case.
Example

• Panthera leo – lion


• Panthera onca – jaguar
• Panthera pardus – leopard
• Uncia uncia – snow leopard
• Lions, jaguars and leopards are more
closely related to each other than to
snow leopards.
Modern Taxonomy
• Modern taxonomy is in a state of flux.
• As genomes are sequenced for different
organisms, evolutionary relationships
often become more clear. Taxonomy
should reflect those relationships.
• Expect major changes in taxonomy over
the next several years.

Hierarchy
Example: Giant Anteater
Myrmecophaga tridactyla
Domain: Eukarya
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Xenarthra
Family:
Myrmecophagidae
Genus: Myrmecophaga
Species:
Myrmecophaga

Categories and Taxa
• In this hierarch of classification, the different
levels are categories.
• A named group at a level is called a taxon
(plural = taxa).
• The giant anteater is in Class Mammalia.
Class is the category; Mammalia is the taxon.
• The giant anteater is in Family
Myrmecophagidae. Family is the category;
Myrmecophagidae is the taxon.
Paham-paham dalam taksonomi

1. Taksonomi Numerik (Numerical Taxonomy)

2. Biologi Evolusi (Evolutionary Biology)

3. Sistematik Filogeni (Phylogenetic systematic =


Cladistic)
• Taksonomi Numerik (Numerical Taxonomy)
• Klasifikasi organisme dengan pendekataan
taksonomi numerik atau dikenal dengan fenetik
adalah sangat objektif dan dapat diuji secara
statistik
• Teori taksonomi numerik menekankan pendekatan
pada semua kesamaan dan atau perbedaan karakter
taksa
• Metode yang umum digunakan untuk analisis fenetik
adalah:
• PCA (Principle Component Analysis),
• UPMGA (Unweighted Pair Group Method Using
Arithmetic) dan
• WPGMA (Weigthed pair group method)
• Pada dasarnya fenetik memiliki dua prinsip analisis
yaaitu pengelompokan (clustering) dan ordinasi
(ordination)
• Metode clustering mengelompokan dan
memisahkan unit operasional taksonomi (OUT’s)
= Operational Taxonomi Unit
• Hasil akhir dari metode clustering berupa
fenogram (phenogram) yang menunjukkan adanya
diagram dari cabang-cabang diagraam dari
cabang-cabang kekerabatan yang menunjukan
tingkat kedekatan
