Overview
This Biology - Taxonomy course offered by CQUniversity Australia introduces the principles of taxonomy, the scientific discipline concerned with the classification, identification, and naming of living organisms. Students explore the language and concepts of modern biology related to biodiversity, evolution, and the relationships among organisms. The course examines how species are grouped according to shared characteristics and how classification systems are used to organise biological diversity.
Key Facts
The course also investigates binomial nomenclature, hierarchical taxonomic levels, and distinguishing features of major organism groups. Students learn to identify characteristics of chordates, compare vertebrate and invertebrate organisms, and recognise defining traits of primates. As part of the Biology Essentials micro-credential series, the course provides a foundation for understanding biological diversity and evolutionary relationships while supporting further study and professional development in biology.
