More like "what makes a species a species"

like pisces is the subphylum of the phylum chordata

well in wikipedia its a subgroup of chordata

Chordata is everything with a backbone

vertebrates are everything with a backbone

and if you actually go up the grouping mamals on wikipedia

we are clasified as lobed fin fishes

tf?

well im not quoting Wikipedia here, im quoting my 9th grade shitty textbook lol

Wow it's almost as if you can't get proper species ideas from randomly clicking Wikipedia links

your text book probably used taxonomic/lineaen clasification

probably yeah

it talked about ten phyla

and then expounded upon and explained the superclasses in the chordata phylum

i think wikipedia uses phylogenic clasification for most of it

@dumblebore 🌈 chordate have a nerve cord. I might have gotten that confused with backbone

Your textbooks are good and right

its relative

yeah you'd said backbone lol @I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS

im pretty terrible with science though, don't have really much to say about it

vertibrate

Yeah but you can be wrong and loud

*coughs* kevin *coughs violently*

true

@Σ5 look up NZ native birds and how they filled mammal niches and the general idea of "species concepts"

I think you'll like that kind of stuff

The kind of pointless but intersting zoology things

first thing that came up on google was a book

Species Concepts and Phylogenetic Theory

phylogenic clasification cannot apply to microbes

too much genetic exchange

What is a species by brainscoop might be a good entry level video

there are difrent deffinitions of species

the main one i usualy use is that 2 creatures are the same species if they are geneticly compatable without substantial isues

with a half half mix

So lions and tigers are the same species in that one

Hybridisation is a factor
