From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taxonomy, systematic biology, systematics, biosystematics, scientific classification, biological classification, phylogenetics: At various times in history, all these words have had overlapping meanings

-->change "all these word" to "these Studies"

Some[who?] claim systematics alone deals specifically with relationships through time, and that it can be synonymous with phylogenetics, broadly dealing with the inferred hierarchy[citation needed] of organisms, which means it would be as subset of taxonomy as it is sometimes regarded, but the inverse is claimed by others.[who?]

---> Finding the people who said this and will add the cite.

In the intro adding the sentence: In the study of systematics there are many application and branches that describe the relationships between organisms.

Application of Systematics in Biology:

There are several applications for systematics in the world of biology and the study of organisms and they include:

1.The first aplication of systematics is the study of the diversity of organisms(which includes multiple past and present and relationships) between extinct and living creatures. The certain Relationships are studied by the making of many different diagrams and "tree"(cladograms, phylogenetic trees, phylogenies, etc.)

2. The second application of Sytematics includes the naming of organisms(scientific), a species description and overview, a taxanomic ordering and the classifying of evolutionary and organism histories.

3.The third application of the systematics study is that of conservation. When is comes to problems in the conservation of organisms, systematics is important because is is an explanation of the biodiversity of the planet and its organisms. This is important because biodiversity is directly related to the multitude of organisms and species(included those which are endangered and need to be protected).

4.The fourth application of systematics is for the manipulation and control of the natural world. This includes the control of harmful organisms by studying their natural ecosystems and histories. This includes the practice of biological control(the introduction of a natural predator) and the introduction of natural disease.[1]
