Blue Jay, robin, cardinal, finch, and pelican
can anyone tell me what kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species each bird is ?
First you must understand what: Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species means. Those terms belong under something called biological classification. To fully understand biological classification you need to understand "the tree of life". Tree of life: http://www.greennature.ca/taxonomy/tree_of_life.gif Do you see how it's broken up? It kinda looks like a tree, thus the name "tree of life". No here's a classification pyramid. http://eonsepochsetc.com/Resources/Images/classification.jpg Now look at this picture: http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/biobk/animalia_2.gif You see how it's split up? Now use Wikipedia to located the Scientific classification. Blue Jay: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Jay Robin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Robin Cardinal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_(bird) Finch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finch Pelican: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican Now you can create a Cladogram to show how closely related they are. Since you just want the Scientific classification, look under the Wikipedia links. \(Pelican:\) Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Pelecaniformes Family: Pelecanidae Genus: Pelecanus \(Finch:\) Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Passeriformes Superfamily: Passeroidea Family: Fringillidae I just did two for you, I think you understand now :-).
thanks !
No problem :-)
this is the finished project: does it look good ? Pelican: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Pelecaniformes Family: Pelecanidae Genus: Pelecanus Finch: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Passeriformes Superfamily: Passeroidea Family: Fringillidae Blue Jay: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Passeriformes Family: Corvidae Robin: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Passeriformes Family: Turdidae Cardinal: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Passeriformes Family: Cardinalidae African Honeybee: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Hymenoptera Family:Apidae Grasshopper: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Orthoptera Black Widow Spider: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Anthropoda Class: Arachnid Order: Araneae Family:Theridiidae Mosquito: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Anthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Diptera Family:Culicidae Superfamily: Culicoidea Yellow Jacket: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Anthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Hymenoptera Family: Vespidae
