ARISTOTLE
an avid collector and dissector of animals

TAXONOMY CLASSIFICATION, DEALS WITH THE

DESCRIPTION AND THE NAMIN OF NEW ANIMAL
SPECIES
 CAROLUS LINNAEUS created the
basic system of animal classification
still used today

AGE OF EXPLORATION (beginning of 16 th century)

scientists were busy describing, naming and
classifying the many new animals discovered each
year.
PHYSIOLOGY BODY FUNCTION AS DIGESTION,
RESPIRATION, CIRCULATION AND OTHERS.
ANTOINE-LAURENT LAVOISIER
a French chemist, determines that animals
burn or consume oxygen to fuel their body
functions.

Today, the study of chemistry of life is

called biochemistry.
EMBRYOLOGY (18 TH CENTURY) DEVELOPMENT
OF GAMETES (SEX CELLS), FERTILIZATION, AND
DEVELOPMENT OF EMBRYOS AND FETUSES
KARL VON BAER

(1827) an Estonian zoologist discovered

ova, or egg cells inside female mammals. He
also compared embryos of different animals,
and showed that they are quite similar to
each other in the early stages of
development.
EVOLUTION - change in the heritable traits of
biological populations over successive generations

CELL BIOLOGY cells and their reproduction

RODULPH VIRCHOW
(1858) A German cell biologists wrote
Omnis cellula e cellula (all cells come from
cells). Cell reproduction is the basis of life.
GENETICS FOCUSED ON BIOLOGICAL
STRUCTURES EVEN SMALLER THAN THE CELL
THOMAS HUNT MORGAN
(1909) an American zoologist established
that structures he called genes lay in line
along each chromosomes

THEOPHILUS PAINTER
(1933) found the first actual genes using
cells of Drosophila fruit flies.
ECOLOGY STUDY OF COMMUNITIES OF
ANIMALS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR
ENVIRONMENT
VICTOR SHELFORD

established this new science with pioneering

work on animal communities in North America.
He also developed the concept of biome for the
unique combinations of plants and animals that
characterize large geographic areas such as
tundra, forest and dessert.

MODERN METHODS
1. Computers

2. Special Radioactive Compounds

3. Gene Amplification
 APPLIED ZOOLOGY
ROSS HARRISON
(1900s) pioneered organ-transplant
techniques with work on amphibians in Yales
University

MARSTON BATES
(1940s) helped win the war against yellow
fever by studying the mosquitoes that carried the
disease
 WHAT IS ANIMAL?
A DEFINING TRAIT OF ANIMALS IS THE
PRESENCE OF A NERVOUS SYSTEM. ANIMALS
DERIVE THEIR CAPACITY TO MOVE AND THEIR
INSTINCT TO RESEARCH FOR WATER FROM THE
ACTION OF NERVES
 THE ORIGIN OF ANIMALS

PROKARYOTES NO MEMBRANE-BOUND
NUCLEUS

EUKARYOTES - MEMBRANE-BOUND NUCLEUS

WHAT MAKES ANIMALS UNIQUE?

The eukaryotic cells of an animal lack the rigid

cell walls found in plants and fungi.

Animal cells are elastic, adaptable and glued

together with a strong but pliant protein called
collagen. Collagen is the primary building blocks
of bones, tendons, ligaments and skin.

ORIGINS OF BEHAVIOR
KONRAD LORENZ
demonstrated the instinctive nature of
many important animal behavior.

- He coined the term imprinting to describe

the animal behavior demonstrated by
goslings, which adopt whatever they see first
as their mother
