    Study Notes

    Annelids: Characteristics and Features

    • Riftia sp., a type of Vestimentiferan, has a characteristic of lacking a mouth and digestive system.

    Clitellata

    • The main function of the clitellum in Clitellata organisms, such as Lumbricus sp. and Pheretima sp., is for reproduction and mucus secretion.

    Echiura (Spoon Worms)

    • A characteristic of the Echiura, such as Bonellia sp., is that they have a proboscis and a pair of setae on the ventral side of the body.

    Bonellia sp. (Green Spoonworm)

    • The key difference between the male and female Bonellia sp. is that the male is much smaller than the female and has a shorter lifespan.

    Oligochaeta

    • A characteristic of Oligochaeta, such as Lumbricus sp. and Pheretima sp., is that they have setae on their body.

    Riftia sp. (Vestimentiferans) vs. Frenulata Vestimentum (Innkeeper Worms)

    • Riftia sp. and Frenulata Vestimentum differ in their trunk structures, with Riftia sp. having a more complex trunk.

    Annelid Anatomy

    • The primary function of the setae in annelids is for movement and burrowing.
    • Metamerism refers to the segmented body structure of annelids, with each segment having similar features.
    • The primary mode of respiration in annelids is through the skin.

    Polychaeta

    • A key feature that distinguishes the subclass Errantia within the class Polychaeta is that they are more mobile and have a more complex body structure.

    Annelid Reproduction

    • The term 'dioecious' in the context of annelid reproduction means that the species has separate sexes, with males and females.

    Polychaete Annelids

    • The primary function of the parapodia in polychaete annelids is for movement and sensing the environment.

    Clamworms

    • Clamworms do not have a characteristic of having a segmented body.

    Sabellida

    • The primary function of the prostomium in clamworms is for sensing the environment.
    • A key characteristic of the order Sabellida is that they have a feathery branchial crown.

    Siboglinum sp. (Frenulate Worms)

    • The primary source of energy for the Siboglinum sp. is through chemosynthesis, with the help of symbiotic bacteria.

    Order Sabellida and Order Terbellida

    • A characteristic shared by both the Order Sabellida and the Order Terbellida is that they have a segmented body.

    Siboglinum sp. vs. Urechis sp.

    • The primary difference between the Siboglinum sp. and the Urechis sp. in terms of their reproduction is that Siboglinum sp. has a more complex reproductive structure.
