    Most Essential Learning

    Competencies
    • Explain the concept of a species. (MELC Week 4 S8LT-
    IVg-19)
    • Classify organisms using the hierarchical taxonomic
    system (MELC Week 4 -S8LT-IVh-20)
    BIODIVERSITY
    • Biodiversity is coined from the words “biological
    diversity”.
    • It describes how varied living things are in a certain
    area - plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms as
    well as the community they form and the habitat
    they are living in.
    • A particular kind of species of living things is
    typically recognizable, being distinctly different
    from one another.
    Level of Biodiversity
    1 Species Diversity

    2 Genetic Diversity

    3 Ecosystem Diversity
    1 Species Diversity
    • It deals with the different kinds of organisms e.g.
    dragonflies, sunflowers, dogs are all different species.
    • A species is the fundamental unit of diversity.
    • It reflects the richness and evenness of abundance of
    species in a certain place.
    • High diversity places consist of numerous kinds of
    species.
    • Low diversity places may be highly populated but may not
    be diverse
    1 Species Diversity
    Measures of Diversity
    • Species richness: is the simplest measurement of species
    diversity.
    • It relates to the number of species inhabiting a given area
    or habitat as shown
    Measures of Diversity
    • Species evenness: It measures how many individual
    organisms belong to each species.
    • It also refers to the similarity in numbers or equal
    abundance of species in a particular area.
    Measures of Diversity
    • Species dominance: It refers to a dominant species
    distributed across a given area.
    2 Genetic Diversity
    • It pertains to the difference in the genetic composition of each
    organism (e.g. Beagle, Shih Tzu, German Shepherd, Doberman)
    • Are all the same species but they differ in the variety of their
    genes.
    3 Ecosystem Diversity
    • It refers to the different kinds of places where organisms
    live and the interconnections that bind these organisms
    together (e.g. lakes, rivers, ponds are all freshwater
    ecosystems.)

    TAXONOMY
    (Law of Arrangement)

    • Is the science of classifying organisms to construct


    internationally-shared classification systems with each
    organism placed into more and more inclusive groupings.
    • It comes from the Greek words taxis meaning
    arrangement, and nomos meaning laws.
    • Mainly about classifying, grouping, and naming of
    organisms.
    CAROLUS LINNAEUS
    • The “father of taxonomy” since
    1700’s.
    • His two most important
    contributions to taxonomy were:
    -The Hierarchical Taxonomic
    System of Classification
    -The system of Binomial
    Nomenclature (a 2-part naming
    method)

    SCIENTIFIC NAMES
    (Binomial Nomenclature)
    • Provides the identity of organisms and indicate their true
    nature.
    • The scientific name based on the binomial system of
    classification is composed of two names, where the first name
    as based on its genus and second name refers to the species
    where the organism belongs.
    • Both names are in Latin or latinized.
    • Scientific names are written either italicized (e.g., Panthera leo)
    or underlined (e.g., Panthera leo), with only the first letter of
    the genus written in uppercase.
    Hierarchical Taxonomic
    System of Classification

    Domain is the largest


    category into which
    organisms have been
    classified.
    Hierarchical Taxonomic
    System of Classification

    Kingdom is the
    taxonomic rank after
    domain.
    -the six-kingdom
    classification:
    Archaebacteria,
    Eubacteria, Protist,
    Fungi, Plant, and Animal
    kingdoms.
    Hierarchical Taxonomic
    System of Classification

    Phylum-consists of different
    classes.
    -Each Class has several
    Orders, and each order has
    different families.
    -A Family consists of several
    Genera (sing. genus), with
    each genus being composed
    of the smallest group of
    various species.
    Hierarchical Taxonomic
    System of Classification

    Species- a group of similar


    organisms and capable of
    reproducing of their own
    kind.
