Classifying organisms

To understand how different organisms are related, scientists have classified (grouped) every known living organism on Earth. This includes all plants, animals and bacteria. This branch of science is known as taxonomy.

Organisms are grouped together into taxa on the basis of shared characteristics, and these groups are then ranked, thus creating a hierarchy. The more features that are shared in common between animals, the more specific the grouping is. There are several methods used to classify organisms, but the most well known ranking, from most broad to most specific, are: domain > kingdom > phylum (division in plants) > class > order > family > genus > species. There can be several sub-phyla, sub-species, etc. within each group as well. People use various mnemonics to remember this order of ranking, so we suggest you look one up to help you remember! One example is given below:

“Dear King Philip Came Over From Great Spain”

The animal kingdom

Animals belong to a number of different groups within the animal kingdom.

Phylum

The animal kingdom is divided into 40 smaller groups, known as phyla. Here, animals are grouped by their main features. Most animals fall into one of five different phyla which are: Chordata (vertebrates), Cnidaria, Arthropods, Molluscs and Echinoderms (invertebrates).

Some example phyla:

  • Nematoda: Nematodes are round-bodied worms, including many of the endoparasites found in humans and animals.
  • Arthropoda: Arthropods are insects, animals that have an exoskeleton.
  • Mollusca: Molluscs include a large number of aquatic species (shellfish), slugs and snails.
  • Cnidaria: Invertebrates (animals with no backbone) such as starfish and jellyfish.
  • Chordata: includes the subphylum vertebrata, or vertebrates (animals that have a backbone), such as mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles.

Class

The phylum group is then divided into even smaller groups, known as classes.

The Chordata (vertebrates) phylum divides into:
  1. Mammalia (Mammals)
  2. Aves (Avian: Birds)
  3. Amphibia (Amphibians)
  4. Reptilia (Reptiles)
  5. Fish:
  • Agnatha (Jawless fish: the hagfish and lampreys)
  • Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous fish: sharks and rays)
  • Actinopterygii (Bony fish: most fish fall under this category)
