and Recognition concept Species are produced by individual speciation events‚ so a single species concept can’t be defining all species. Hugh Paterson’s ideas are significant in understanding evolution. Paterson argues that speciation is not an adaptive process‚ but is a result of the adaptation of intricate bonding mechanisms to a new environment (Paterson). The conceptual basis of his research is the Recognition Concept of Species. He argues that the Biological species concept isn’t the only mode

Thousands of new species are discovered each year. We need to identify‚ name‚ and know the biology of all the marine species. To understand this huge array of species‚ a simple classification system is used to produce some order out of chaos. Example: this

animals are not exempt from captivity and maltreatment. On the other hand‚ supporters of animal rights argue that animals have a right to live a life free from suffering. They also argue that animals should not be discriminated against due to their species. Furthermore‚ proponents of animal rights also argue that human beings are not superior to animals. Animal’s rights should be upheld by all human beings and activities such as hunting‚ animal testing and animal farming should either be regulated or

naming plants and animals—a system we still use today. This system is known as the binomial system‚ where each species of plant and animal is given a genus name (a general name) followed by a specific name (species)‚ with both names being in Latin. For example‚ we are Homo sapiens. Homo is the genus that includes modern humans and closely-related specie. Linnaeus named over 12‚000 species of plants and animals‚ although some have had to be renamed because we know more about them now. Linnaeus
