How do scientists place vertebrates into groups?

The vertebrates are animals with a backbone. Scientists separate this group into smaller groups because of their features:how the animal takes in oxygen -- lungs, gills or through the skinthermoregulation -- maintains own temperature (homeotherms) or temperature varies with surroundings (poikilotherms)reproduction -- internal or external fertilization, lay eggs (oviparous) or give birth to live young (viviparous).
