Organizing Animal Phyla Turn in the ocean acidification reading assignment, and locate your mollusk notes outline Mollusk quiz • 15 minutes MAX! TEST: TUESDAY 4.27 • TOPICS: – Annelids – Arthropods – Dichotomous keys – Mollusks – Echinodermata* – “Big 9” Phyla* Simple Invertebrates • Some time ago, we studied the simple invertebrates: Common Name Porifora Cnidaria PlatyNematoda helminthes Sponges Jellyfish Flatworms Radial diploblasts Triploblastic Through gut bilaterans Key No Characteristic tissues / Innovation Roundworms • These animals all lack respiratory or circulatory organs, which is why we describe them as “simple.” Complex Invertebrates • Lately, we have studied invertebrate animals that have circulatory systems, respiratory systems, or both: Common Name Mollusca Annelida Arthropoda Mollusks Segmented Worms Arthropods Segmented, softbodied Closed exoskeleton Key Characteristic / Mantle and CaCO3 innovation shell Circulatory System Open Open Respiratory System gills Diffusion / skin Gills or book lungs Important Classes Cephalopods, Gastropods, Bivalves n/a (several) Crustacea, Insecta, Arachnida, Myriapoda Two Phyla Left • Phylum Echinodermata includes the starfish, and is our next topic. • Phylum Cordata includes everything with a backbone, and will be a separate unit. It includes – Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Fish, Amphibians A quick introduction to the Echinodermata • Includes starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, and others. • Name means “spiny skin” • Important to marine ecosystems (only major phylum which includes NO species that live on land or in fresh water) Some Key Characteristics • Calcitic, mesodermal endoskeleton. (translation: Many tiny calcium-based bones in their skin) • Pentaradial symmetry. • Water-based vascular system Organizing the Phyla • Kingdom Animalia can be divided into several Subkingdoms or Superphyla – cladistic groups between a kingdom and a phylum • Kingdom>Subkingdom>Superphylum>Phylum >Subphylum>Superclass>Class… etc. etc. Subkingdoms Metazoa and Parazoa • The subkingdom Metazoa (“upper animals”)includes all animals that have tissues that carry out different functions. • The subkingdom Parazoa (“beside the animals”) includes Phylum Porifora and a few other minor phyla (remember – we’re only looking at the “big 9” animal phyla) Superphyla Radiata and Bilatera • The subkingdom metazoa is further divided into 2 superphyla: Radiata and Bilaterata, based on body symmetry. • Echinoderms are in superphylum bilaterata even though they are pentaradial – Evolved from bilaterans – Have bilateral larval stage Protostomes vs Deuterostomes • Protostomes and deuterostomes are two groups of animals (superphyla to be specific) organized by the following: – Protostomes have ventral nerve cords, Deuterostomes have dorsal nerve cords – Embryological development is different: Word Meanings • Protostome: “first mouth” • Deuterostome: “second mouth” The big ideas • Phylum echinodermata includes starfish and other organisms that are very distinct from other invertebrates • Subkingdoms Parazoa vs. Metazoa • Superphyla Radiata vs. Bilaterata • Superphyla Protostomata vs. Deuterostomata • Enchinoderms are more closely related to chordates than any other invertebrates.
