A Common ancestor for mammals

What is a species?

• Species, simply means a “kind” or “appearance”in Latin.– Still used this way in chemistry

• In Taxonomy, species is the most unique grouping in the hierarchy.

Species

• Based on Herbals, full page lists of characters.

• Binomial system: Homo sapiens,– Linnaeus (1700's) based on a type specimen,

called the Holotype, with a complete description in Latin.

Holotypes

Biological Species Concept

• Not a definition proper • Based the ability to sexually reproduce

thus sharing a common genepool and evolution.– “Species are groups of interbreeding natural

populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups”.

Scientific names:

• Always in Latin, italicized• Genus capitalized, species not• Underline names only for handwritten

work, not print.• In publications, author is include to

distinguish form older, or other names

• Umbellularia californica (Hook & Arn)Nutt

Applications of phylogenies:

• What whale meat is being consumed in Japan?

• 13 samples of whale meat taken from Japanese fish markets.

• Used Mitochondrial DNA comparisons from meat to known published species samples

• Lines in red show relations to illegal whale meat.
