This text is a revised translation of my stencilled handout-manuscript for different courses on metazoan morphology, systematics and phylogeny at the Eberhard-Karls-University of Tübingen / Germany, under the supervision of Dr Gerhard Mickoleit. The definitions and comments refer to Phylogenetic Systematics sensu HENNIG (1959, 1982, 1984), SCHLEE (1971, 1978, 1981), AX (1984, 1988), WILLMANN (1985, 1989) and SUDHAUS & REHFELD (1992), rather than to computer-cladistics and Pattern-Cladism that seem to be more Ğen vogueğ today.

Nomenclatural Glossary for Zoology This glossary is based on a text intended to aid indexers in the production of nomenclatural entries for the Zoological Record, the index to world zoological literature published by BIOSIS and the Zoological Society of London. It covers terminology commonly encountered within publications dealing with the systematics and nomenclature of animals. This version of the glossary has recently been extended to include additional terms listed in the glossary of the new Fourth Edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature published in September 1999, and Article numbers given within definitions refer to this Code.

Natural History - Phylogeny - English
URL: http://www.nearctica.com/nathist/phylog.htm

The phylogeny of living organisms has changed dramatically in the past few years. As a consequence you will find that different sites may given different, and sometimes conflicting, systematic arrangements for the same group of organisms. No where is this more true than for the "lower organisms", i.e. those groups traditionally treated as bacteria, protozoans, algae and fungi. The traditional older arrangement divided live into two main group; the Monera (bacteria and blue-green algae) and the Eucaryotes (protozoa, algae, plants, fungi, and animals). This older scheme was surplanted by the so-called "Five Kingdom Classification" created by Robert Whittaker.

This is an unprecedented level of global cooperation by mostly city-based facilities, presently including about half of the world's "recognized" zoos and aquariums. ISIS supports conservation and preservation of species, by helping member facilities manage their living collections. ISIS provides PC software for sound specimen records keeping and scientific conservation-oriented collection management, and then pools this information across the whole network. Information is available on 286,000 living specimens of 7,500 species, along with an additional 1,413,000 of their ancestors.
