Looking at how diversity is organized, it seems like such a daunting task. It also, in some ways, seems like an arbitrary task. I mean, the way we look at science, new observations can always be found. And if new observations can be found, then isn't it possible that plants/animals/everything can be classified in new ways based on those findings?

Im also really broadly thinking about function. One of the questions brought up in lab was "does size relate to function?" I don't really know the answer to that. Small cells that make up life can do so much and are so essential- so it doesn't seem to follow that does smaller mean you can function less well or that you can do less? I think it is something interesting to consider.
