In botany, the ranks of subclass and suborder are secondary ranks pre-defined as respectively above and below the rank of order. [7] Any number of further ranks can be used as long as they are clearly defined. [7] The superorder rank is commonly used, with the ending -anae that was initiated by Armen Takhtajan's publications from 1966 onwards. [8]
Taxonomic rank is a classification level in biological taxonomy, such as species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom.
In one revised classification proposed in 1995, [3] the name of the suborder is Prosorrhyncha, and Heteroptera is a rankless subgroup within it. The only difference between Heteroptera and Prosorrhyncha is that the latter includes the family Peloridiidae , which is a tiny relictual group that is in its own monotypic superfamily and infraorder.
Feliformia stands in contrast to the other suborder of Carnivora, Caniformia consisting of "dog-like" carnivorans (includes Canoidea). [1] The separation of the Carnivora into the broad groups of feliforms and caniforms is widely accepted, as is the definition of Feliformia and Caniformia as suborders (sometimes superfamilies).
Human taxonomy is the classification of the human species within zoological taxonomy. The systematic genus, Homo, is designed to include both anatomically modern humans and extinct varieties of archaic humans.
Caniformia is a suborder within the order Carnivora consisting of "dog-like" carnivorans. They include dogs (wolves, foxes, etc.), bears, raccoons, and mustelids. [1] The Pinnipedia (seals, walruses and sea lions) are also assigned to this group.
USDA soil taxonomy (ST) developed by the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Cooperative Soil Survey provides an elaborate classification of soil types according to several parameters (most commonly their properties) and in several levels: Order, Suborder, Great Group, Subgroup, Family, and Series.
The suborder Myomorpha contains 1,524 species of mouse-like rodents, [1] nearly a quarter of all mammal species. Included are mice , rats , gerbils , hamsters , lemmings , and voles . They are grouped according to the structure of their jaws and molar teeth .
