Lab 8: Animals II: Non-molting and Molting Protostomes Phylum Mollusca - Mollusks • Non-molting • unsegmented • muscular foot (may be highly modified) • mantle – membrane present in all; in most, secretes and maintains one or two calcerous valves (shells) • most have a radula (rasping tongue with chitinous teeth) Phylum Mollusca - Mollusks • diverse group, over 100,000 living species (2nd ranking in number among animal phyla) • of 7 classes, 4 classes covered in lab: • Polyplacophora (chitons) • Gastropoda (gastropods) – snails, slugs, and nudibranchs (sea slugs) • Bivalvia (bivalves) – scallops, oysters, clams, etc. • Cephalopoda (cephalopods) – octopuses, squid, cuttlefish, etc. Phylum Mollusca - Mollusks • Video: The Shape of Life: Episode 6 – Survival Game (Molluscs) • body plan • radula • octopus camouflage Task A-1: • Phylum Mollusca examine the preserved specimens in the mollusk box and on display, note the following: • Polyplacophora – chiton (display only): • gills • mantle • foot Task A-1: • Phylum Mollusca examine the preserved specimens in the mollusk box and on display, note the following: • Gastropoda – snail and slug: • coiled valve (snail) or no valve (slug) • broad, flat foot Task A-1: • Phylum Mollusca examine the preserved specimens, note the following: • Bivalvia – clam: Task A-1: • Phylum Mollusca examine the preserved specimens, note the following: • Cephalopoda – squid: • muscular foot with tentacles (with suction discs) • thick mantle but no external shell (true for most cephalopods) • excurrent siphon (for jet propulsion) • large eyes Phylum Nematoda – roundworms • molting (ecdysis) – periodic shedding of protective cuticle so that organism can grow or change • pseudocoelomate • complete digestive system • dioecious • longitudinal muscles for movement • many are free-living, but many are parasites • very common in soil Task B-1: Phylum Nematoda • examine the preserved specimens in the Nematoda box • prepare and examine a slide with live vinegar eels; note their movement, powered by longitudinal muscles • examine Ascaris cross section slide; note structures from figure 8-3 Phylum Arthropoda – arthropods • “joint-foot” – jointed appendages • segmented – often with some fusing and distinctive regions (details later); very distinct cephalization • exoskeleton containing chitin; used for protection, and for muscle attachments • molting (ecdysis) – shedding of exoskeleton for growth; new exoskeleton later hardens Phylum Arthropoda – arthropods • very diverse group and successful group • over 1 million named species, by far the most species of any phylum (in fact, 2/3 of ALL named species) • estimates are as high as 30 million living species unnamed • most of the species (well over half) are insects Phylum Arthropoda – arthropods • focus on both subphyla and classes for tests • 4 subphyla, 6 selected classes to cover • Subphylum Cheliceriformes • Subphylum Myriapoda • Subphylum Crustacea • Subphylum Hexapoda Subphylum Cheliceriformes • • body plan: cephalothorax and abdomen on cephalothorax, starting at anterior end: • paired chelicerae • paired pedipalps • 4 pairs of legs • selected classes: • Merostomata – horseshoe crab • Arachnida – spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks, etc. Subphylum Myriapoda • Body plan: head and multisegmented trunk • on head: • one pair of antennae • paired mandibles • Legs on trunk (either one or two per segment, depending on class) • appendages are uniramous (unbranched) • most have tracheal respiratory system Subphylum Myriapoda • Diplopoda (millipedes) • • two pairs of legs per trunk segment Chilopoda (centipedes) • one pair of legs per trunk segment • poison claws on trunk segment nearest the head Subphylum Crustacea • One class (also called Crustacea) • barnacles, crayfish, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, etc. • on cephalothorax, starting at anterior end: • two pairs of antennae (unique feature) • paired mandibles (jaws) • most then have 5 pairs of chelate appendages (pincher-like) swimmerets Subphylum Crustacea • appendages are biramous (two-branched; another unique feature) Subphylum Hexapoda • Hexapoda – “six feet” • One class to worry about: Insecta • Body plan: head, thorax, and abdomen • On head: one pair of antennae • On head: paired mandibles • On thorax: three pairs of legs • On thorax: often two pairs of wings • appendages are uniramous (unbranched) • most have tracheal respiratory system Task B-2: • Phylum Arthropoda arthropod box and displays: • for all, note segmentation, head, exoskeleton, and paired jointed appendages • items to note for each animal class (use Fig. 8-4 as a guide for structures): • Merostomata – horseshoe crab • large cephalothorax (from dorsal and ventral views) • chelicerae, pedipalps, and legs • book gills • telson Task B-2: • Phylum Arthropoda arthropod box: • Arachnida – garden spider • chelicerae with fangs • pedipalps (used by males in mating) • 4 pairs of legs • unsegmented abdomen with spinnerets for making silk Task B-2: • Phylum Arthropoda arthropod box: • Crustacea • barnacle – shell and holdfast • blue crab – chelate appendages, mouth and feeding appendages, cephalothorax, abdomen (tucked under cephalothorax) • crayfish – chelate appendages, mouth and feeding appendages, cephalothorax, gills, abdomen with swimmerets (note biramous nature) Task B-2: • Phylum Arthropoda arthropod box: • Diplopoda – millipede • head with mandibles, short antennae • multisegmented trunk • two legs per segment (key to identification) • look for evidence that each “segment” is actually a fusion of two segments • look for spiracles Task 3: • Arthropods (Phylum Arthropoda) arthropod box: • Chilopoda – centipede • head with mandibles, short antennae • multisegmented trunk • one legs per segment (key to identification) • poison claws derived from first leg pair • look for spiracles Task B-2: • Phylum Arthropoda arthropod box: • Insecta – grasshopper and walking stick • head with antennae, mandibles, and compound eyes • thorax with three pairs of legs (note uniramous appearance of appendages) and two pairs of wings (grasshopper) • segmented abdomen • spiracles on sides • in grasshopper, note the large tympanum (eardrum) on first segment Task B-2: • Phylum Arthropoda arthropod slides: • tick, body louse, and water flea (Daphnia) • for each, try to identify the class based on external features TODAY YOU WILL TAKE AN EXIT QUIZ !!!
