Combined with the five-kingdom model, this created a six-kingdom model, where the kingdom Monera is replaced by the kingdoms Bacteria and Archaea. [16] This six-kingdom model is commonly used in recent US high school biology textbooks, but has received criticism for compromising the current scientific consensus. [ 13 ]
The initial targets of Cavalier-Smith's classification, the protozoa were classified as members of the animal kingdom, [12] and many algae were regarded as part of the plant kingdom. With growing awareness that the animals and plants embraced unrelated taxa, the use of the two kingdom system was rejected by specialists.
His botanical classification and sexual system were used well into the nineteenth century. [4] Within each class were several orders. This system is based on the number and arrangement of male and female organs. [5] Key to the Sexual System (from the 10th, 1758, edition of the Systema Naturae) Kalmia is classified according to Linnaeus' sexual ...
In his landmark publications, such as the Systema Naturae, Carl Linnaeus used a ranking scale limited to kingdom, class, order, genus, species, and one rank below species. Today, the nomenclature is regulated by the nomenclature codes. There are seven main taxonomic ranks: kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus, and species.

His 2004 classification treated the archaeobacteria as part of a subkingdom of the kingdom Bacteria, i.e., he rejected the three-domain system entirely. [72] Stefan Luketa in 2012 proposed a five "dominion" system, adding Prionobiota (acellular and without nucleic acid) and Virusobiota (acellular but with nucleic acid) to the traditional three ...
Consequently, until the advent of molecular phylogeny, the Kingdom Prokaryota was divided into four divisions, [41] A classification scheme still formally followed by Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology for tome order [42] Gracilicutes (gram-negative)
