  1. Systematics is the process of trying to classify animals (or plants) according to their phylogeny.  systematics alone deals specifically with relationships through time, requiring recognition of the fossil record when dealing with the systematics of organisms.  Relationships are visualized as evolutionary trees (cladograms, phylogenetic trees, phylogenies)

    Taxonomy means giving names to things.  taxonomy is properly the describing, identifying, classifying, and naming of organisms.  The different taxanomic levels in animals are Kingdom, Phylum, Community, Order, Family, Genus, Species.


  2. Taxonomy is the identification ,nomenclature& classification of organisms based on similarities and dissimilarities in body structure ,feeding patterns , habitats etc.

    Systematics is a sub division of taxonomy that gives priority to the phylogenetic relationships between organisms ie it takes into consideration evolutionary patterns also.The 5 kingdom classification is based on systematics.

  3. Systematics is part of taxonomy. Alpha taxonomy is naming organisms. [What shall we call this one, Eve? Let's call it a rhinoceros, Adam. Why, Eve? Well. Adam, it looks more like a rhinoceros than anything else we've seen.] Beta taxonomy is classification of similar organisms to reflect that similarity. Gamma taxonomy is the study of the evolution of those organisms.
