Study Notes
Cephalopoda and Annelida
- Orders of Cleodidea: Sepioidea (cuttlefish), Teuthoidea (squids), Vampyromorpha (deep sea squids, one species), Octopoda (octopuses).
- Annelida Characteristics: High diversity with 15,000 species; includes earthworms (Oligochaeta) and leeches (Hirudinea).
- Classes:
- Polychaeta: Mainly marine, distinct head, paired parapodia with setae, separate sexes, some asexual budding.
- Oligochaeta: Terrestrial and freshwater, few setae, hermaphroditic, direct development, includes Lumbricus (earthworm).
- Hirudinea: Freshwater and terrestrial, oral and posterior suckers, direct development, includes Hirudo (medical leech).
- Morphological Features: Segmented bodies (metamerism), coelomates with septa between segments, leading to specialized organ systems.
- Significance: Annelids exhibit complete regeneration, possess a complex nervous and circulatory system, and have a body plan with prostomium, segmented body, and pygidium.
Arthropoda
- Diversity: Largest phylum, >900,000 species, over ¾ of all known species. Includes spiders, insects, crustaceans, etc.
- Key Adaptations:
- Advanced cephalisation with enhanced sensory organs.
- Exoskeleton provides protection and mobility but requires ecdysis.
- Trachae system for efficient respiration.
- Social Structures: Many species exhibit complex social interactions, e.g., social insects form colonies.
- Development:
- Metamorphosis allows different food resource usage between young and adults.
- Types include incomplete metamorphosis (hemimetabolous) and complete metamorphosis (holometabolous).
Subphyla of Arthropoda
- Trilobita: Extinct group, flourished before the Cambrian period, characterized by compound eyes and curling mechanism for protection.
- Chelicerata: Includes horseshoe crabs, spiders, and scorpions; noted for lack of antennae and specialized appendages for feeding (chelicerae).
- Class Arachnida: Contains spiders and scorpions; features include pedipalps for feeding or reproductive functions, four pairs of legs, and adaptations for terrestrial life.
Insect Characteristics
- Wings and Development: Primitive groups with direct muscle control; advanced Neoptera utilize foldable wings; undergo molts and metamorphosis stages.
- Sensory Systems: Highly specialized sense organs; some can detect specific light frequencies; developed communication systems in social insects.
- Co-evolution: Insects evolved alongside plants, influencing plant defense mechanisms and habitat use.
Additional Invertebrate Phyla
- Sipuncula: Benthic, burrowing worms without metamerism.
- Echiura: Similar to sipunculans, with trochophore larvae.
- Pogonophora: Tube dwellers without a digestive tract, absorb nutrients through tentacles.
- Echinodermata: Marine-only phylum with about 7000 species. Includes starfish and sea cucumbers. Exhibit pentaradial symmetry in adults and bilateral symmetry in larvae.
Echinodermata Details
- Classes:
- Asteroidea: Starfish and brittle stars.
- Echinoidea: Sea urchins and sand dollars.
- Holothuroidea: Sea cucumbers.
- Crinoidea: Sea lilies and feather stars.
- Physiology: Echinoderms evolved from bilaterally symmetrical ancestors, underwent significant developmental changes leading to unique adult symmetry.
