Taxonomy of Living Organisms

In Biology, Taxonomy is the study of naming and classifying living organisms based on shared characteristics. Organisms are grouped into ranks called taxa (singular taxon), each with increasing specificity:

• Domain - TaxonomyDomain - Taxonomy
  Domain is the highest rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]].
  
  Based on the three-domain-system introduced in 1990, there are three domains of life:
  
  [[Bacteria - Domain]]
  [[Archaea - Domain]...
• Kingdom - TaxonomyKingdom - Taxonomy
  Domain is the second-highest rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes below [[Domain - Taxonomy]].
  
  Domains are divided into smaller groups called Phyla (singular Phylum - TaxonomyPhylum - Taxonomy
  Phylum is the rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes after [[Kingdom - Taxonomy]] and before Class - TaxonomyClass - Taxonomy
  Class is the rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes after [[Phylum - Taxonomy]] and before Order - TaxonomyOrder - Taxonomy
  Order is the rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes after [[Class - Taxonomy]] and before Family - TaxonomyFamily - Taxonomy
  Family is the rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes after [[Order - Taxonomy]] and before Genus - TaxonomyGenus - Taxonomy
  Genus is the rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes after [[Family - Taxonomy]] and before Species - TaxonomySpecies - Taxonomy
  Species is the lowest rank in [[Taxonomy of Living Organisms]], that comes after [[Genus - Taxonomy]].
