Phylogenetics and macroevolution: how best to classify life systematics, taxonomy, and cladistics, phylogenetic trees and the reconstruction of evolutionary history using molecular data, character evolution, the origin of adaptations and key innovations. Speciation via reproductive isolation allows organisms to diverge and diversify. The father of taxonomy: binomial nomenclature, hierarchical system of classification, kingdoms phyla classes orders families genera species. Name is a key to the literature on an organism. Enables interpretation of origins and evolutionary history. A named taxonomic unit at any level (plural = taxa_) Taxonomy the theory and practice of classification. Systematics the study of biodiversity and the evolutionary relationship among organisms. Darwin"s first tree the only figure in the origin was a tree.
