Document Summary

19. 1 what is a species: carolus linnaeus developed taxonomy: classification of organisms into an ordered system that indicates natural relationships. 19. 1b binomial nomenclature: naming of species with a two-part scientific name, first indicating genus and second indicating species. Specific epithet: species name in a binomial: genus name capitalized, specific epithet not capitalized, binomial is italicized or underlined. Same species name is often given to species in different genera, so full generic name is used. 19. 1c the taxonomic hierarchy: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, king philip came over for good soup, taxon: a group of organisms included within a category in linnaean taxonomic hierarchy. Lions live in open grasslands while tigers live in dense forests. February while another flower releases pollen in april. Female birds of one species cannot identify song, colour, display of males of another species. Different flowers attract different pollinators due to nectar or petal colour.
