This document discusses the early history of biological classification systems. Ancient Chinese herbalists, Egyptians, Greeks such as Aristotle, and Romans began classifying organisms and identifying their characteristics and relationships. The Greek philosopher Aristotle divided animals into those with or without blood. The Greek botanist Dioscorides made the first systematic classification of plants based on their medical properties while serving as a military surgeon.

This document provides a history of taxonomy from ancient times through the modern era. It discusses how early ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman scholars began classifying and organizing plants and animals. Key early taxonomists mentioned include Aristotle, Theophrastus, Dioscorides, and Pliny. It then covers the contributions of later taxonomists like Caesalpino, the Bauhin brothers, John Ray, and Joseph Pitton de Tournefort. The era of Carl Linnaeus is described as revolutionizing taxonomy through his introduction of binomial nomenclature. The document outlines how Linnaeus helped transform botany and zoology into scientific disciplines. It concludes with a discussion of developments like clTaxonomy n Systematics

This document provides an overview of the history and development of taxonomy, the science of classifying living organisms. It discusses how early taxonomists like Aristotle and Linnaeus grouped organisms based on visible characteristics. Charles Darwin later established that taxonomy should reflect evolutionary relationships and shared ancestry. The document also outlines the major kingdoms and domains proposed by scientists over time to classify the diversity of life, from the original plant and animal kingdoms to the current three domain system of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. Molecular evidence now supports or refines previous taxonomic classifications.History of taxonomy 3

The history of taxonomy is described in four periods by Mayr. The first period focused on local fauna studies by ancient Greek scholars like Aristotle. The second period was marked by the acceptance of evolution, influenced by Darwin's ideas. The third period saw the rise of population systematics in the 1930s, where Mayr defined species as interbreeding natural populations. Current taxonomy in the fourth period utilizes a wide range of data beyond just morphology, including genetics, biochemistry, and behavior.Angiosperm phylogeny grouping I (APG I)

The Angiosperm Phylogenetic Group (APG) was established in the late 1990s to create a phylogenetic-based classification system for angiosperms, which are seed-producing flowering plants. APG I, published in 1998, recognized 462 families grouped into 40 monophyletic orders, rejecting previous classification systems that did not accurately reflect evolutionary relationships. Subsequent updates, APG II and APG III, further refined this classification, influencing major herbaria and botanical references worldwide.Ecology definition & scope

Ecology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environments. It has many branches that study specific areas like behavior, physiology, evolution, ecosystems, populations, communities, and landscapes. Key branches also include conservation biology, restoration ecology, ecotoxicology, and molecular ecology. Solving ecological problems requires considering biotic factors like competition, quantitative factors like population sizes, climatic factors like temperature and chemistry, taxonomy, and genetic/evolutionary aspects. Ecology blends aspects of other biological sciences to study the complex relationships between organisms and their environments.Botanical nomenclature

Classification of living things is organized using taxonomy to group organisms according to their biological similarities. There are over 2.5 million known living things on Earth. Carolus Linnaeus developed the system of binomial nomenclature in the 1700s using the genus and species of each organism. This was an improvement over earlier classification systems as it used consistent Latin names to universally identify organisms rather than common names that varied between languages and regions. Modern taxonomy still uses Linnaeus' seven-level classification system moving from broadest to most specific of: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.Introduction and history of Ethnobotany.pptx

Carolus Linnaeus was an 18th century Swedish botanist known as the "Father of Taxonomy" who developed one of the first comprehensive systems for naming and classifying organisms. He published his system of binomial nomenclature in his influential work Species Plantarum in 1753, establishing standardized scientific names for plants that formed the basis for modern taxonomy.

Systematics is the study of the historical relationships between biological organisms and the understanding of biodiversity. It aims to trace phylogeny and classify taxa in an evolutionary context. Systematics encompasses fields like taxonomy, classification, nomenclature, biogeography, and phylogenetics.

This document discusses ecological speciation, which is when divergent natural selection between different environments leads to reproductive barriers between populations. Ecological speciation can occur in allopatry, sympatry, or parapatry. Parallel speciation is a form of ecological speciation where reproductive isolation repeatedly evolves between independent populations adapting to contrasting environments. The key difference between ecological speciation and other types is that it is triggered by divergent selection between habitats, rather than processes like genetic drift or sexual selection.Ethnobotany

Biological classification and taxonomy began with Aristotle's system of grouping organisms by physical similarities like size and habitat. Carl Linnaeus later established binomial nomenclature using genus and species names written in Latin. Modern evolutionary classification is based on evolutionary relationships and descent rather than just physical traits. Cladograms illustrate how different lineages evolved from common ancestors over time. Organisms are classified into domains, kingdoms, phyla and other taxonomic ranks based on shared derived characteristics.Taxonomy Biology Notes

The document discusses Theophrastus, a Greek philosopher and student of Aristotle, regarded as the 'father of botany' for his contributions to plant classification. It details Theophrastus's categorization of plants into four groups based on characteristics such as growth habits and stem structure, which laid the groundwork for modern plant taxonomy. Despite criticisms of his classification system, it remains influential in the study of botany.Angiosperm classifications

The document summarizes the history of angiosperm classification from ancient times to modern systems like APG. It describes the early work of ancient Greek and Roman scholars like Theophrastus and Pliny. It then discusses the major historical periods of classification including the Period of Herbalists, Period of Mechanical Systems established by Linnaeus, Period of Natural Systems, and Period of Phylogenetic Systems influenced by Darwin's theory of evolution. Finally, it outlines the modern Angiosperm Phylogeny Group systems from APG I to the current APG IV, which is based on molecular data and recognizes 64 orders and 416 families of flowering plants.INTRODUCTION TO PLANT TAXONOMY WITH DIVERSE TAXONOMIC APPROACHES
