In this assessment, you will categorize a group of animals by two forms of classification: phylogeny (cladistics) and Linnaean taxonomy. For phylogeny, you will create a cladogram for your groups of animals. For Linnaean classification, you will create a taxonomy chart or concept map that categorizes your species by taxa. Select from the two groups of animals listed below for your project.

Select one group for each:
Bird Group: Blue Jay, robin, cardinal, finch, and pelican
Insect Group: African honeybee, grasshopper, black widow spider, mosquito, and yellow jacket

To start with, I'd suggest heading over to Wikipedia to find out how those different species are categorised. Wikipedia's pretty good at listing taxa for most species.

I think you're supposed to find the groups yourself. Seriously, Wikipedia has this information, often in a box on the right-hand side.
