Thenotes define Latin binomials and Latin binomial history as well as vocabulary. The Study of Invertebrates- 98 % of all animals are invertebrates- Important for food webs and pharmaceuticals- Factor towards human and animal diseaseInvertebrate Diversity10 Invertebrate groups: A totally of 98% of animals1. Mollusks- Squids, Octopus, & Clams2. Crustaceans- Crabs & Lobsters3. Flatworms4. Nematoda5. Polychaetes6. Cnidaria- Jellyfish7. Echinoderms8. Sponges9. Tunicates10. Sea spidersPharmaceutical Role- Some Non-motile invertebrate compounds contain anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory properties- Ex: Sponges can be used as alternatives antibiotics or antifungalsInvertebrate Classification1. Father of Taxonomy”: Carl von Linne’ and published Systema Naturae (1735). The book introduced the ideals of naming species using latin binomials. The oldest plant name dates to 1735 and oldest animal to 1758.Latin Binomials- Two scientific names used to classify an animal, uses genus and species.- Latin Binomials Name: Beroe’ cucumis Beroe’ (genus) cucumis (species)*****Simple Reminders: Capitalize the genus and the species is lower case. If utilized in literature or research any latin binomial must be either underlined or italicized. The year and author the animal or plant classified can be added to the naming. (Ex: Beroe’ cucumis Fabricius, 1780).- Latin Binomial names can be abbreviated (B. cucumis)ClassificationSpecies: Aurelia auritaGenus: AureliaFamily: UlmaridaeOrder: SemaeostomeaeClass: ScyphozoaPhylum: CnidariaKingdom: AnimaliaLecture 1 Vocabulary1. Taxonomy- Science and practice of identifying, naming, describing and classifying organisms.2. Taxon- A group of organisms.3. Systematics- Branch of biology that deals with classification and nomenclature.4. Phylogenetics- The study of evolutionary relatedness or species with common ancestors.5. Latin Binomial- Formal naming and classifying of
