That is something of a point of bemuddlement. When a species and subspecies grow different to a certain point, they are often referred to by some as two separate species, and by others as the same species. This is such with Canis lupus and Canis familiaris/Canis lupus familiaris. Depending on which source or school of thought you ask, wolves and dogs differ either at the species level or the subspecies level.
Canis lupus (wolf) and Canis familiaris (dog) differ at the species level in taxonomy. They both belong to the same genus Canis, but have diverged over time due to domestication and have different characteristics and behaviors.
Canis lupus familiaris belongs to the classification level of subspecies. It is the scientific name for the domestic dog, which is a subspecies of Canis lupus, the gray wolf.

The most specific level of taxonomy is species.
The kingdom level is the least specific level of taxonomy. It is broader compared to other levels such as phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Division is used instead of phylum for plants and fungi in taxonomy.
Canis lupus familiaris belongs to the classification level of subspecies. It is the scientific name for the domestic dog, which is a subspecies of Canis lupus, the gray wolf.

No, they are the same species. Canis lupus is the Grey Wolf, and Canis lupus familiaris is the domesticated subspecies, the domestic dog. People say Canis familiaris and they mean the domestic dog, but familiaris is not a species in of itself.
They are the same species but a different subspecies.
Binomial nomenclature is the formal system of naming the species. Both nomenclature and classification come under the purview of Taxonomy. The modern taxonomy has developed at molecular level using DNA fingerprinting to ascertain the relationship among different taxa.

Yes. Greyhounds and poodles are the exact same species, a domesticated canid, Canis lupus familiaris, descended from wolves. The reason they look so different is due to artificial selection - we've bred them for specific traits, both physical and behavioural. But on a genetic level the two are the same species.
Macro taxonomy is the combination of two words . Macro is taken from Greek word Makros which means large , taxis means arrangement and nomus means laws so simply we can define macro taxonomy as " The branch of taxonomy that deals with the classification or grouping of organism above specie level " By Abdul Qahar Buneri Msc Zoology Student At AWKUM ( Buner Campus)
