Extractions: Taxonomies attempt to group species into broader categories ( taxa , sing. taxon ) on the basis of substantial similarities and inferred descent from common ancestors. The primate order is divisible into numerous biological taxa on several levels. There are several possible taxonomical systems, and these have changed over time. The following classification is a simplified version of the most widely used system.

Extractions: Notice! This taxomony and the files formerly linked from it have been substantially revised and placed in a new directory. Please go to Primate Variations: Taxonomy to view the updated material. The following material is retained for reference purposes only. Primates are divisible into numerous biological taxa on several levels. There are several possible taxonomical systems, and these have changed over time. The following classification is a simplified version of Jolly and White, 1995, Physical Anthropology and Archaeology, Fifth Edition. (This version makes a radical departure from previous standards by placing chimpanzees and gorillas in the same family as humans (Hominidae). Older versions placed only humans in this taxon and refer to any human fossil forms as hominid to mark their distinct evolutionary direction. Jolly and White substitute the term hominin to indicate an exclusively human direction.) Note: Taxa which include the human species appear in light blue shaded boxes

Canadian Soil Classification
A taxonomy of soils.
http://interactive.usask.ca/ski/agriculture/soils/soilclass/soilclass_can.html

Extractions: Soil Order The highest or broadest level of classification is the Order reflecting which of the soil forming factors had the most influence of soil formation. Nine orders are recognized with specific horizon characteristics. Within Saskatchewan most of the soil orders are represented, although the main agricultural area is dominated by soils of the Chernozemic Order. The northern agricultural/forest transition areas are mainly Luvisolic soils and boreal forest soils are dominated by Brunisolic soils. To the far north, the subsoil rarely thaws so that we have permafrost giving rise to Crysolic soils. Wherever there is standing water and restricted drainage, Organic soils form, usually in the wetter forested regions. Gleysolic soils develop in areas that are subjected to periodic waterlogging. Parent material that contains a high proportion of soluble salts give rise to Solonetzic soils.

Discover Life
Information about taxonomy, natural history, distribution, abundance, and ecology of many species worldwide. Includes tools to identify, map, and database species.
http://www.discoverlife.org/

Extractions: Discover Life helps you to identify things, share ways to teach and study nature's wonders, use maps, report your findings, and contribute to and learn from the Web's growing encyclopedia of life. The Polistes Foundation and its partners plan to make identification guides, maps, images, and valuable data on a million species freely available to everyone by 2012. So far we have some information on 217,265 species. We invite you to join us in our quest to reduce disease, increase food production, stop destructive species, protect endangered ones, and enjoy rather than struggle with nature.

Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives
The questions and examples were added by Tom Allen to make the taxonomy more The original purpose of the taxonomy of Educational Objectives was to
http://www.humboldt.edu/~tha1/bloomtax.html

Extractions: This is a revised version of Benjamin Bloom's work with the addition of the Psychomotor Domain as developed by Anita Harrow [1972]. Dr. Bloom's intent was to develop a classification framework for writing educational objectives. The questions and examples were added by Tom Allen to make the Taxonomy more useful for beginning teachers as a tool to facilitate appropriate questioning. Knowledge: recognize or recall information. Q: What is the capital of Maine? Who wrote "Hamlet?" Words typically used: define, recall, recognize, remember, who, what, where, when. Comprehension: demonstrate that the student has sufficient understanding to organize and arrange material mentally. Q: What do you think Hamlet meant when he said, "to be or not to be, that is the question?" (Rosenshine, among others, would argue that one of the best ways to teach is to teach pupils how to ask their own questions about the topic under consideration.) Words typically used: describe, compare, contrast, rephrase, put in your own words, explain the main idea.

Extractions: Index to this page Protein Sequences ... Taxonomy: Classifying Life At least 1.7 million species of living organisms have been discovered, and the list grows longer every year (especially of insects in the tropical rain forest). How are they to be classified? Ideally, classification should be based on homology ; that is, shared characteristics that have been inherited from a common ancestor . The more recently two species have shared a common ancestor, Until recent decades, the study of homologies was limited to However, since the birth of molecular biology, homologies can now also be studied at the level of The figure shows the bones in the forelimbs of three mammals: human, whale, and bat (obviously not drawn to the same scale!). Although used for such different functions as throwing, swimming, and flying, the same basic structural plan is evident in them all.

Extractions: editLink('skunkworks/.accounts/cd829a92-63ce-4d28-845b-bfae4b1a2330') 2005/09/16 23:05:56.758 GMT-4 By Ryan Jonna Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Actinopterygii Members of this Class Actinopterygians, or âray-finned fishes,â are the largest and most successful group of fishes and make up half of all living vertebrates. While actinopterygians appeared in the fossil record during the Devonian period, between 400-350 million years ago (Ma), it was not until the Carboniferous period (360 Ma) that they had become dominant in freshwaters and started to invade the seas. At present, approximately 42 orders, 431 families, and nearly 24,000 species are recognized within this class but there are bound to be taxonomic revisions as research progresses. Teleosts comprise approximately 23,000 of the 24,000 species within the actinopterygians, and 96 percent of all living fish species (see Systematic/Taxonomic History). The latter estimates, however, will probably never be accurate because actinopterygian species are becoming extinct faster than they can be discovered in some areas, such as the Amazon and Congo Basins. Unfortunately, habitat destruction, pollution and international trade, among other human impacts, have contributed to the endangerment of many actinopterygians (see Conservation Status).

Figs - Ficus Carica
Details of taxonomy, origin, cultivation and a list of cultivars suitable for US growers.
http://www.uga.edu/fruit/fig.htm

Extractions: Taxonomy, cultivars. The cultivated fig, Ficus carica L., is a member of the Moraceae (mulberry family). Other important fruit-bearing species include the mulberries ( Morus spp .), Breadfruit ( Artocarpus altilis Fosb.), Jackfruit ( Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.), and several tropical Ficus species produce edible fruit for local consumption and wildlife. Other Ficus species of importance - F. elastica ("rubber plant") and F. benjamina (Ficus tree or weeping fig); important indoor foliage plants; the latter is used as a hedge or landscape tree in tropical areas. 4 types of cultivars: 1. Caprifig. "Male", but actually bears both staminate and pistillate flowers. Inedible; used to pollinate Smyrna and San Pedro types; grown outside the orchard, picked prior to wasp emergence, and hung in baskets in trees. 2. Smyrna fig. Requires pollination for fruit set, but wasp does not oviposit in fruit, styles too long. One main crop/yr, the "second" crop; first crop is very light, only a few fruits/tree. 'Calimyrna' is the only Smyrna cultivar grown in California, and is the most widely produced cultivar.
