CLASSIFICATION
&
DIVERSITY
Why we need to identify & group
organism??
a)
Recognition of dissimilar organism easier
if we can put them in predefined
categories
Lantern bug (never seen before??!!)
 Insects (through experience)

b) Grouping allows us to make prediction
•Looks different
•But distinguishing features group them together
•Mammals: give birth
How to group living organism??
Not based only on ONE CHARACTER
alone
 Eg: animals can fly & cannot fly

– Insects
– Birds
– Bats

-fish
-rodents
So need to look the overall plan of the
organism
TAXONOMY
Greek: taxis - 'order' + nomos - 'law' or
'science'.
 the practice and science of classification
 Classification: placing an object into sets
of categories based on
properties/characters of the object

NOMENCLATURE
(TATANAMA)
HOW ARE LIVING THINGS NAMED??



(A) COMMON NAMES
Nyamuk tiruk, lalat buah (fruit fly,
kumbang badak (rhinocerus beetle),
kersing/kepinding (true bugs), soroksorok (mole cricket), kelip-kelip (firefly),
riang-riang (cicada), kutu beras (rice
weevil)
Problem:
i) Not consistent
ii) Doesn’t portray the actual insects
(B) SCIENTIFIC NAMES
 consistent around the world
 one species with single valid name

SPECIES
FUNDAMENTAL UNIT OF CLASSIFICATION
 DEF: groups of natural populations that
can interbreed. They are reproductively
isolated from all other species

SPECIES NAME
Binomial
 Consists of Genus and Specific names
 Eg.: Bactrocera dorsalis
 Written in italic
 Genus: start wih capital letter
 Species: small letters
 If hand written: underline both names
seperately (Bactrocera dorsalis)


Goryphus jendul Azura
Azura: the person who first described and
named the species for science
 Sometime outhor name in bracket
 The author got the genus wrong

