Taxonomy is the Science of classification which makes the study of wide variety of organisms easy and helps us to understand the interrelationships among different groups of organisms. In Plant ...

Classification attempts to impose a hierarchy on the complex and dynamic variety of life on Earth by describing how different species group together and how they are related to one another or not.

Classification is a tricky business, and the more we learn about evolution, the more counter-intuitive it seems to become. LIFE ON EARTH was easier to comprehend back in the days when all species were ...

Living things are identified and categorised on the basis of their body design in relation to their form and function. So, the classification of life forms is closely related to their evolution ...

Fish, flies and bears, oh my! A new research breakthrough gives genetic proof of how differences in (very different) animals develop. An international team of biologists has identified the molecular ...

Original classification of living organisms containing four kingdoms (Monera, Protista, Vegetabilia and Animalia), 60 phyla and 253 classes, is presented.

The classification of organisms into groups, taxonomy, has taken a step forward thanks to work by researchers at the University of Queensland. Led by Professor Philip Hugenholtz, the team approached ...

Four complete new kingdoms of life have been discovered by American researchers in the high alpine environment of Colorado, rewriting the textbooks on microbes. The new microbe kingdoms were found in ...
