Polyphyletic and paraphyletic taxa are problematic when the goal is to construct phylogenies that accurately reflect evolutionary history. These taxa do not accurately represent the evolutionary relationships between species and can lead to incorrect interpretations. Monophyletic taxa, on the other hand, are ideal for constructing phylogenies as they include all descendants of a common ancestor.
Bats and sharks both belong to the animal kingdom (Animalia) and the class of vertebrates (Vertebrata). Within the vertebrates, bats are mammals (Mammalia), while sharks are cartilaginous fishes (Chondrichthyes), placing them in different subclasses.
The first name in a scientific name corresponds to the genus, which is a taxonomic rank used to group closely related species. It is capitalized andItalicized in the binomial nomenclature system, with the genus indicating a larger group of organisms than the species name.

Scientific classification of humans - Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Subclass: Theria Order: Primates Suborder: Anthropoidea Family: Hominidae Genus: Homo Species: H. sapiens Subspecies: H. s. sapiens
A scientific name consists of two taxa: the genus and the species.
What I can conclude about the classification taxa of an organism with the scientific name "Rana temporaria" is
conspecific: Two or more individual organisms, populations, or taxa are conspecific if they belong to the same species.

Kingdom is the first level in the modern organization of taxa.

Humans belong to the taxonomic family called Hominidae, which includes great apes such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. Within the Hominidae family, humans are classified in the genus Homo and the species Homo sapiens.
