Animal Evolution –
The Invertebrates
Comparing Key Groups
 Evolutionary trends toward
• Greater size
• Compartmentalization (division of labor among
cells, tissues, and organs)
• Integration of specialized activities that keep the
organism alive
Body Symmetry: Radial and Bilateral
 Most animals are bilateral
Body Organization
 Cephalization
• Sensory cells concentrated at the head
 Segmentation
• Repetition of body units, front-to-back
Body Cavities
 Most bilateral animals
have a coelom and a
complete gut
Key Concepts:
INTRODUCING THE ANIMALS
 Animals
• Multicelled heterotrophs (ingest other organisms)
• Grow and develop through a series of stages
• Actively move about during all or part of life cycle
 Cells of most animals form tissues and
extracellular matrixes
Sponges (Phylum Porifera)
 Sponges
• No symmetry, tissues, or organs
• Flattened cells line the body wall (many pores;
spikes of silica and/or proteins)
• Filter feeders (flagellated collar cells absorb food;
amoeboid cells digest and distribute it)
• Zygote develops into free-living larva
Sponges
Cnidarians (Phylum Cnidaria)
 Jellyfishes, corals, and sea anemones
• Radial, tentacled carnivores
• Gastrovascular cavity (respiration and digestion)
• True epithelial tissues with a jellylike matrix in
between
• Simple nervous system
Cnidarian Body Plans
Unique Cnidarian Weapons
 Nematocysts
• Used to capture prey and for defense
Cnidarian Predators
Cnidarian Life Cycles
Flatworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes)
 Free-living turbellarians (planarians), parasitic
tapeworms and flukes
• Simplest animals with organ systems
• Paired nerve cords

and leeches

itself

Key Concepts:
BILATERAL INVERTEBRATES
 Most animals show bilateral symmetry
 Bilateral animals have tissues, organs, and
organ systems
 All adult tissues arise from two or three simple
layers that form in early embryos
Simple Arthropods
 Trilobite, millipede, centipede
Arthropod Characteristics
 Key arthropod adaptations
•
•
•
•
Hardened exoskeleton
Jointed appendages
Specialized and fused segments (wings)
Efficient respiratory and sensory structures (eyes,
antennae)
Chelicerates
 Horseshoe crabs and arachnids (spiders,
scorpions, ticks, and mites)
• Predators, parasites, or scavengers
Crustaceans
 Mostly marine crustaceans (crabs, lobsters,
barnacles, krill, and copepods)
Insect Diversity
Unwelcome Arthropods
 Spiders, ticks, and mosquitoes
Echinoderms
 Sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.
• Exoskeleton with spines, spicules, or plates of
calcium carbonate
• Water-vascular system with tube feet
• Adults are radial, but bilateral traits appear in
larval stages
Echinoderms: “Spiny-Skinned”

Animal Evolution –
The Vertebrates
Chordate Heritage
 Four features define chordates
•
•
•
•
A notochord
A dorsal hollow nerve cord
A pharynx with gill slits
A tail extending past the anus
 All features form in embryos
• May or may not persist in adults
Invertebrate Chordates
 Tunicates and lancelets (marine filter-feeders)
Lancelet Body Plan
Craniates
 Chordates with a braincase of cartilage or bone
• Hagfish (jawless fish): Simplest modern craniate
Vertebrate Evolution
 Key innovations laid the foundation for adaptive
radiations of vertebrates
• Vertebral column of cartilaginous or bony
segments
• Jaws evolved in predatory fishes
• Gills evolved in water, then lungs for dry land
• Paired fins were a starting point for other limbs
 Gill-Supporting Structures
Key Concepts:
TRENDS AMONG VERTEBRATES
 In some vertebrate lineages, a backbone replaced the notochord as
the partner of muscles used in motion
 Jaws evolved, sparking the evolution of novel sensory organs and
brain expansions
 On land, lungs replaced gills, and more efficient blood circulation
enhanced gas exchange
 Fleshy fins with skeletal supports evolved into limbs, now typical of
vertebrates on land
Jawed Fishes and Tetrapods
 Jawed fishes
• Cartilaginous fishes (sharks and rays)
• Bony fishes
 Body plans adapted to life in water
• Streamlined shape reduces drag
• Swim bladder (in bony fishes) adjusts buoyancy
Cartilaginous Fishes
Bony Fishes
 The most diverse vertebrates
• Lungfishes
• Lobe-finned fishes (coelacanth)
• Ray-finned fishes
Early Lineages
 Coelacanth, lungfish, and Devonian tetrapod
Amphibians
 Frogs, toads, and salamanders
• Carnivorous vertebrates
• Adapted to life on land (lungs, 3-chambered
heart)
• Nearly all return to the water to reproduce
Amphibian Evolution
Amniotes
 First vertebrates able to complete their life cycle
on dry land
• Water-conserving skin and kidneys
• Amniote eggs (four membranes)
• Active life-styles
Dinosaur Extinctions
 K-T asteroid impact hypothesis
• A huge asteroid impact caused extinction of last
dinosaurs; spared earliest birds and mammals
Modern Reptiles
 Major Groups
•
•
•
•
Turtles (shell attached to skeleton)
Lizards (the most diverse reptiles)
Snakes (limbless)
Crocodilians (closest relatives of birds)

with milk from mammary glands, a single lower
jawbone and four kinds of teeth
Modern Mammals
 Three major lineages
• Egg-laying mammals (monotremes)
• Pouched mammals (marsupials)
• Placental mammals, the most diverse and
widespread mammals
Three Major Lineages
