Study Notes
Animal Diversity - Invertebrates
- The course covers animal life diversity and classification, emphasizing invertebrate groups.
- Students should appreciate animal diversity, understand animal classification methods, recognize key characteristics of invertebrate groups, and understand evolutionary advancements enabling animal complexity.
- Course materials include lecture slides on Brightspace, Campbell Biology 12th edition, and supplementary texts from the library.
- A glossary of terms is to be compiled, using the UCD online library's "Dictionary of Biology" resource.
Evolutionary Tree of Life (Campbell 10th/12th ed.)
- Diagram illustrating evolutionary relationships among life forms—depicting domains Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
- Illustrates the common ancestor of all life forms.
- Highlights various eukaryotic groups (e.g., land plants, green algae, fungi).
- "Protists" group encompasses many eukaryotic organisms, with distinct kingdoms illustrated as divergent branches.
Protist Diversity
- Protists are eukaryotic organisms (have a nucleus). Mostly unicellular, some form colonies.
- They inhabit aquatic and damp environments.
- Protists have a diversity of nutritional methods. Some, called Protozoa, ingest food.
- Protists exhibit varied movement and reproduction methods.
- Key protist groups, characterized by locomotor organs, include Euglenozoa (e.g., Trypanosoma—flagella), Unikonta (e.g., Amoeba—pseudopodia, Amoeba proteus – adapted for aquatic environments, such as ponds and lakes, and some are marine or parasitic), and Ciliates (e.g., Paramecium—cilia).
- Note that the diagram(s) provided in the materials show more detail on the evolution of protists and how different groups relate.
Specific Protist Examples
- Amoeba proteus: Adapted to aquatic environments (ponds, lakes); also marine and parasitic forms (e.g., causing amoebic dysentery).
- Euglena sp.: Exhibits both autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition (autotroph & heterotroph).
- Trypanosoma sp.: Blood parasite moving using flagella.
- Paramecium sp.: Utilizes cilia for locomotion.
Animal Classification & Body Plans
- The course examines animal kingdoms, tracing their origins back to protists.
- Criteria for categorizing animal groups include body symmetry, germ layers (types of tissues), and tissue development.
- Eumetazoa, a major animal group, features true tissues and germ layers; separate from Porifera which lack true tissues.
- Animals (Eumetazoa) are categorized into groups such as radiata (e.g., cnidaria), lophotrochozoa (diverse worms), ecdysozoa (e.g., insects), and deuterostomia (e.g., starfish, vertebrates).
- "Radiata": Diploblastic (two germ layers) with radial symmetry (e.g., jellyfish, corals).
- Triploblastic (three germ layers) animals like lophotrochozoa, ecdysozoa, and deuterostomia exhibit bilateral symmetry.
- Porifera (sponges) lack true tissues and symmetry.
Sponge Characteristics
- Porifera (sponges) are multicellular but without true tissues.
- They are asymmetrical.
- Aquatic, filter-feeding organisms.
- Filter food from water entering via pores (ostia) and exiting via osculum.
- Sponge cells (e.g., choanocytes) trap food particles. Internal structures like spicules and amoebocytes provide support and functions.
- Protistan cell types are inherited and modified in multicellular animals (amoeboid, flagellate, ciliated). Sponges have a sac-like body (spongocoel) with openings (ostia and osculum) through which water circulates.
- Note the distinct features of sponges, their feeding mechanism (filter-feeding), and basic body plan, such as the presence of an internal (spongocoel) space.
Further Study
- Campbell Biology, Chapters 28, 32, 33, cover invertebrate diversity.
- Brusca and Brusca’s "Invertebrates" textbook (UCD Library), specifically Chapter 7, provides detailed information on invertebrates.
Assessments:
- Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) assess student understanding of animal diversity covered in lectures and practical sessions.
