Species of Plants and Animals New Discoveries - Top 10 Lists of

Species

Species is the basic unit of categorizing organisms into groups, thus, genus, family, class and species. Species are capable of producing offspring, not only a normal offspring but a fertile offspring. This only means that animals or plants under a particular species or different species have the ability to reproduce as long as they want too. Species are also used to measure biological theories and measuring biodiversity.

Some lists of species includes the following :
  • Evolutionary species
  • Phylogenetic (cladistic) species
  • Typological species
  • Ecological species
  • Biological / reproductive species
  • Biological / isolation species
  • Genetic species
  • Cohesion species
  • Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU)
  • Phenetic species
  • Microspecies
  • Recognition species
  • Mate-recognition species
For this post we are showcasing the top 10 species of plants and animals new discoveries for the year 2012. This news is credited to the National Geographic Channel.
