In this assessment, you will categorize a group of animals by two forms of classification: phylogeny (cladistics) and Linnaean taxonomy. For phylogeny, you will create a cladogram for your groups of animals. For Linnaean classification, you will create a taxonomy chart or concept map that categorizes your species by taxa. Select from the two groups of animals listed below for your project.

Bird Group: Blue Jay, robin, cardinal, finch, and pelican

Insect Group: African honeybee, grasshopper, black widow spider, mosquito, and yellow jacket
