phylum

It's part of how you, and I think maybe all the rest of your siblings in phylum chordata, build proteins.

Why not a histogram for each bacterial phylum plotted for men and women?

The diatoms have often been treated as a separate phylum, reflecting their unique features.

It's fascinating that intelligence exists in different clades & phylum of animals: crows, octopus, apes etc.

From the bbc article:"The researchers did find some similarities to other animal groupings, such as the Cnidaria - the phylum that comprises corals and jellyfish - and the Ctenophora, which includes the marine organisms known as comb jellies.

At some point you have a set of purely irrational axioms about some qualities, be they kingdom, phylum, family, genus, species, or some other subjective criteria for what makes a living creature worthy of consideration when its life is in danger.

What's fascinating is that finding new animal phyla is apparently something that has happened a few times in the last century, and they aren't able to place this creature into a phyla yet - it's close to a jellyfish and comb jellies, but not close enough to be included in the Cnidaria or Ctenophora phylum.

First they say> A new technique for finding and characterizing microbes has boosted the number of known bacteria by almost 50 percent...then they say> ...their work expanded the number of known types — or phyla — of bacteria by nearly 50 percent...This is a huge difference, since phylum is one of the highest levels of biological taxonomy.
