  8. What did humans do when they realized animals can be domesticated? • Farm • Artificial selection is widely practiced.

  9. New species (1700s) • Exploration of the world discovers new species. • Carolus Linnaeus invents a system for naming and classifying species, called binomial nomenclature.

  10. Industrial Revolution (1720- 1840) • There was an increase interest in animals for pleasure and recreation. • Pet industry begins.

  11. 1800s • Zoos begin to spring up across the globe. • What is the oldest Zoo in America? • Philadelphia Zoo first opened in 1874.

  12. 1900s • Advances in medicine result in studying animals • Horseshoe crab- 450 mya • Studied the long, single cell of the horseshoe crab’s optic nerve to establish field of neurobiology.

  13. Today • Saving species/preserving biodiversity. • Which biome has the most biodiversity? • Rainforest

  14. What is happening to rain forests? • Deforestation… we are losing biodiversity!

  15. Sub disciplines of Zoology • Entomology- • Study of insects • Ichthyology- • Study of fish • Herpetology- • Study of reptiles and amphibians • Ornithology- • Study of birds

  16. 10 major animal phyla • Phylum Porifera- • 8,000 species • Sponges “poor bearer” • Phylum Cnidaria • 10,000 species • Jelly like substances.

  17. Phylum Ctenophora • 100 species • “Comb jellies” • Phylum Platyhelminthes • 20,000 species • Flatworms
