Extracted text: Linnaeus used a hierarchical system of classificatiol WILDI They are from largest to smallest: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, King Phillip Carne Qver Erom Greece Singing. Each of these levels is called a - largest category, group of related phyla. - group of different classes that share important characteristics. - group of similar orders. - group of similar families. - genera (genus plural) that share many characteristics. -group of closely related species. - group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring. He developed a system called -each species is assigned a two-part scientific name consisting of genus +species. Always written in italics, first word (genus) first letter CAPITALIZED, second word (species) is lowercased. Example: humans-. Dichotomous Keys In the field, scientists often have to identify and classify specimens such as plants, animals, bacteria and other species using a dichotomous key. A dichotomous key is used to categorize species based on yes or no questions. Below is an example of a basic dichotomous key. Identify each bird based on the key: toat long Bird W Bird X Bird Y Bird Z Dichotomous Key to Representative Birds 1. a. The beak is relatively long and slender. b. The beak is relatively tout andtheavy 2. a. The bottom surface of the lower beak is flat and straight b. The bottom surface of the lower beak is curved 3. a. The lower edge of the upper beak has a distinct bend A. The lower edge of the upper beak is mostly flat Certhidea go to 2 Geospiza go to 3 Camarhynchus Piatyspiza
