Field of biology that deals with the diversity of life. Systematics is usually divided into the two areas of phylogenetics and taxonomy.
This is an umbrella term to describe the processes that describe species. There are three disciplines which are united under this broad locution. First there is the description of species ( identification), then there is the naming of names ( taxonomy) and then there is the description of the relationships among and between taxa ( phylogenetics).
The science of identifying, describing, naming, and classifying groups of organisms and studying their genealogical histories.
The study of the historical evolutionary and genetic relationships among organisms and of their phenotypic similarities and differences.
the study of the relationship between categories (like phylogeny, a.k.a. family tree)
the study of the identification (taxonomy) and evolutionary relationships among plant species (Source: Miller Coyle et al., 2001, p.340)
the study of the kinds and diversity of organisms and the relationships among them.
The branch of biology that deals with the diversity of organisms in relation to their classification. Note: in some books, this term is not distinguished from taxonomy.
the science of systematic classification
the classification of living things into groups based on phylogeny
The study of the diversity and evolution of organisms. See also classification, identification, nomenclature, and taxonomy
field of biology that deals with the grouping and organizing of organisms.
The science of classifying all organisms, both living and extinct, and of investigating the relationships between them; the field of science concerned with taxonomy and phylogeny (Duckworth et al. 1993).
A branch of biology which studies life's diversity in an evolutionary context; Systematics includes taxonomy and is involved in reconstructing phylogenetic history.
Biological classification and nomenclature.
The classiÞcation of organisms based on information from observations and experiments; includes the reconstruction of evolutionary relatedness among living organisms. Currently, a system that divides organisms into Þve kingdoms (Monera, Protista, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia) is widely used.
The classification and study of organisms with regard to their natural relationships.
The field of science dealing with the diversity of life and the relationships of life's component organisms.
The taxonomic classification of a particular specimen. This shows the relatedness of a given animal to another one.
the science of discovering order in the diversity of living organisms, and expressing that order in a classification.
the classification of living forms into a general reference system, which enables communication about particular groups of organisms and the storage and retrieval of information about these groups but is a form of 'classification' in which one of the primary criteria for the classification is the genealogy of the organisms. Includes both the traditional evolutionary systematics and cladistics.
The classification of living organisms into hierarchical series of groups emphasising their phylogenetic interrelationships; often used as an equivalent to taxonomy.
Taxonomy and phylogenetics. The classification of organisms based on information from observations and experiments; includes the reconstruction of evolutionary relatedness among living organisms.
the classification of organisms in a system to indicate natural relationships.
Biological systematics is the study of the diversity of life on the planet earth, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time. Systematics, in other words, is used to understand the evolutionary history of life on earth.
