Animal Diversity The number of animal varieties familiar to us is vast as the animal world is diverse. Each distinct variety or type of animals is recognized by scientist as a species. Animals of most species are free-living forms but of others are parasitic in bodies of other animals or even plants. According to their habitats animals are divided into the following types Aquatic animals :- They live in water . Animals living in sea water are called marine & those live in river‚ponds‚streams

History‚” Jamaica Kincaid tells the readers two stories of historically significant figures‚ Christopher Columbus and Carl Linnaeus. She first explains the discovery of New World and then describes how Linnaeus created the modern version of binominal nomenclature. In between these two stories‚ she vaguely mentions her own history‚ coming from “a place called Antigua”; her own story is only a small proportion compared to the stories of Columbus and Linnaeus (Kincaid 622). Significantly‚ no matter what story

Carl Linnæus Carl Linnaeus was a great scientist who made breakthroughs in botany‚ zoology‚ medicine and‚ most importantly‚ biology. He was one of the greatest scientists of his time. Even to this day‚ his system of naming organisms is used all over the world‚ and his theory in classification is still the most significant. Linnaeus was born on May the 23rd 1707 and he died on January the 10th 1778‚ at seventy years old. He lived in Sweden and studied in three different Swedish universities

Acacia (/əˈkeɪʃə/ or /əˈkeɪsiə/)‚ also known as a thorntree‚ whistling thorn or wattle‚ is a genus of shrubs and trees belonging to thesubfamily Mimosoideae of the family Fabaceae‚ described by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1773 based on the African speciesAcacia nilotica. Many non-Australian species tend to be thorny‚ whereas the majority of Australian acacias are not. All species are pod-bearing‚ with sap and leaves often bearing large amounts of tannins and condensed tannins that historically

Binomial‚ Bernoulli and Poisson Distributions The Binomial‚ Bernoulli and Poisson distributions are discrete probability distributions in which the values that might be observed are restricted to being within a pre-defined list of possible values. This list has either a finite number of members‚ or at most is countable. * Binomial distribution In many cases‚ it is appropriate to summarize a group of independent observations by the number of observations in the group that represent one of

classify organisms and assign each organism a universally accepted name. They do this by using a Dichotomous Key to classify organisms‚ the binary nomenclature‚ DNA‚ and RNA. In the taxonomic nomenclature naming system‚ there are different levels called a taxon (taxa plural) or taxonomic category. The different levels to the taxonomic nomenclature naming system are called: Domain‚ Kingdom‚ Phylum‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus‚ and Species. The first scientist to use the system was Carolus Linnaeus

Animal Classification When we go to a bookstore‚ we see thousands of books neatly arranged. First‚ they are grouped by subjects. We see labels such as novels‚ memoirs‚ comics‚ and history. Within each of those groups‚ the books are shelved in alphabetical order of authors’ last names. Since all the books are kept in a logical order‚ it is easy for us to find a book that interests us. 1 Just as with books‚ scientists use a similar approach to categorize all the animals that have ever lived

extension of the Poisson distribution that generalizes some well-known discrete distributions (Poisson‚ Bernoulli and geometric). It also leads to the generalization of distributions derived from these discrete distributions (i.e. the binomial and negative binomial distributions). We describe three methods for estimating the parameters of the Conway–Maxwell–Poisson distribution. The first is a fast simple weighted least squares method‚ which leads to estimates that are sufficiently accurate for
