Platyhelminthes Cnidaria Porifera unknown common ancestor Nemertea Arthropoda Annelida Phylum Arthropoda joint footed animals Fossil Record A very ancient group with a 500 million year fossil record These fossilized tracks may push the date of land arthropods back into the Cambrian Devonian period 540 million years old Fossil Record These fossilized tracks mayMillions push the of years ago date of land arthropods back into the 0 today Cambrian 65 end of dinosaurs 213 first dinosaurs mammals birds 360 First reptiles First amphibians Cambrian First land plants 505 First fishes 590 First Arthropods 700 First invertebrates 4 600 Phylum Arthropoda the largest phylum comprises 80 of all known animals all other phyla Arthropoda Arthropoda Characteristics Triploblastic Organ level of organization Bilateral Symmetry Cephalization Eucoelomate Protostome What characteristics have enabled Arthropods to achieve such great diversity and abundance Arthropoda Characteristics Exoskeleton hardened external cuticle secreted by the epidermis composed of chitin has internal ridges projections called apodemes to which muscles attach benefits protection without loss of mobility limits growth must be molted limits ultimate body size because of weight epicuticle exocuticle Ecdysis molting under hormonal control endocuticle new endocuticle forms under exocuticle exocuticle hardens old exocuticle ruptures ecdysis the animal backs out of old exoskeleton molting fluid dissolves old endocuticle new exocuticle is secreted new exocuticle is formed under the old one Arthropoda Characteristics Tagmatization and jointed appendages the fusion of segments into blocks called tagmata sing tagma that are specialized for certain functions usually each tagma has a pair of jointed appendages appendages may be highly modified with tagmata being specialized for certain functions e g feeding moving sensory appendages are essentially hollow levers that are moved by well developed striated muscles flexors and extensors and are capable of fast powerful movement Arthropoda Characteristics Respiratory System on land most have a respiratory system that consists of tubes that deliver air directly to tissues and cells in water most have gills these systems allow for a higher metabolic rate and level of activity Arthropoda Characteristics Sensory System similar to Annelida ventral nerve cord cerebral ganglia brain possess a variety of sensory organs e g simple and compound eyes antennae chemoreceptors sensory hairs Arthropoda Characteristics Complex Behavior have complex innate behaviors and some are capable of learning some even show communication and cooperation Spiny lobster cooperative behavior Spiny lobster migration behavior Dr Herrnkind http bio fsu edu herrnlab Arthropoda Characteristics Metamorphosis most have a larval stage that differs morphologically and behaviorally from the adult reduces competition between larvae and adults by allowing them to occupy different ecological niches Arthropoda Characteristics no external cilia flagella Digestive System complete with regional specialization Circulatory System open circulatory system consisting of a hemocoel main body cavity filled with hemolymph blood Arthropoda Characteristics Excretion usually glands some classes have specialized excretory systems Reproduction usually sexual and dioecious usually internal fertilization Phylum Arthropoda Arthropoda II Subphylum Trilobita Subphylum Chelicerata Class Merostomata Class Pycnogonida Class Arachnida Subphylum Crustacea Class Branchiopoda Class Malacostraca Class Copepoda Class Ostracoda Class Cirripedia Subphylum Uniramia Class Chilopoda Class Diplopoda Class Insecta In your textbook these are listed as subclasses within the class Maxillopoda But follow what is here and in lab Subphylum Trilobita Trilobitmorpha all are extinct the most diverse of the extinct arthropod groups 5000 genera Subphylum Chelicerata no antennae 6 pairs of appendages 1st pair pincer fang like chelicerae 2nd pair pedipalps 3rd 6th pair walking legs body divided into 2 tagmata opisthosoma consists of the abdomen prosoma consists of the head and all the legs Subphylum Chelicerata Class Merostomata Horseshoe crabs have been essentially unchanged for 250 million years Class Merostomata opisthosoma prosoma telson carapace compound eye chelicerae book gills walking legs Class Merostomata Subphylum Chelicerata Class Arachnida Class Arachnida spiders scorpions ticks mites chiggers daddy longlegs They usually have several adaptations for life on land book lungs or tracheal system or both waxy cuticle pedipalps Class Arachnida arachnids as parasites chiggers mites and ticks Class Arachnida arachnids as disease vectors Lyme disease is caused by infection with a bacteria that is transmitted by tick bites Deer tick Borellia Subphylum Chelicerata Class Pycnogonida sea spiders 1000 marine species males carry the eggs Subphylum Crustacea most are marine some terrestrial and freshwater head has 2 pairs of antennae appendages are primitively biramous have 2 major branches body divided into 2 tagmata cephalothorax consists of the head and the thorax abdomen Subphylum Crustacea have mandibles 2 pairs of maxillae and 1 pair of legs per segment cephalothorax 2 pairs of antennae mandibles 1st and 2nd maxillae 3 pairs of maxillipeds 5 pairs of walking legs abdomen usually has 6 segments 1 5 have pairs of swimmerets last segment has a pair of uropods and a telson Subphylum Crustacea Class Branchiopoda sea monkeys and water fleas marine and freshwater important zooplankton Subphylum Crustacea Class Ostracoda have a bivalved carapace marine and freshwater reduced number of appendages bioluminescence Subphylum Crustacea Class Copepoda mainly marine some freshwater and terrestrial e g mosses usually the most abundant animal in the plankton median eye Subphylum Crustacea Class Cirripedia acorn barnacles and gooseneck barnacles marine and sessile as adults feed with modified appendages called cirri Class Cirripedia modified body form anus Peduncle absent in stalkless barnacles cirri penis mouth ovary Adhesive gland
