    Study Notes

    Zoology Questions - Summary

    • Correct Zoological Terminology: The earliest name used is correct; priority is given. One name cannot be used for multiple taxa, avoiding homonyms. Genus-species is the binomial system.
    • Classification Methods: Classification is based on overall similarity (phenetics) or evolutionary relationships (evolutionary classification). Whittaker, for instance, recommended five kingdoms. Geographic isolation can lead to morphological differences, even if genes are exchanged.
    • Taxonomic Hierarchy: Biosystematics is the study of classification. Taxonomic categories avoid including concepts like "breed," instead using established categories like orders, kinetoplastida, diplomonadida, etc.
    • Protozoan Classification: Specific orders within the kinetoplastida include Trypanosoma and Leishmania; other orders include Giardia and Eimeria. Coccidia, like Eimeria, lack cysts. Giardia, however, forms cysts.
    • Animal Phyla-Characteristics: Platyhelminthes (flatworms) exhibit bilaterally symmetrical bodies. Flatworms have different gut structures (e.g., absence in cestodes). Nematodes vary in morphology, some having a two-branched gut. The phylum Platyhelminthes has ~25000 species.
    • Animal Classes - Characteristics: Certain animals lack a medusa stage (Anthozoa), or have terminal or lateral budding in their polyp stage (Hydrozoa/Scyphozoa). Class Actinopterygii has about 21000 species.
    • Animal Kingdom Characteristics: Various animal characteristics are mentioned including body type, reproduction method, and other structural features.
    • Animal Kingdom Diversity/Importance: The number of nematode species is ~20,000; significant veterinary species ~200. The approximate number of mammalian species is about 4600. Various important groups of animals and features are noted. Details of specific groups are included.

    Zoology Questions - Additional Points

    • Ecological Relationships: Predation, detritivory, and competition are mentioned as ecological interactions. Competition between species and intraspecific competition can affect community dynamics.
    • Reproductive Strategies: Some animals exhibit external fertilization and various feeding adaptations. Some reproduce without a pupal stage.
    • Classification Issues: Specific examples like parasites, blood-feeding behavior, skeletal features are detailed to understand the significance and implications of these details.
    • Behavioral Ecology: Fixed action patterns and other related behaviors are noted as features of animal behavior. Also emphasized is the process of recognizing and understanding ecological and behavioral concepts.
    • Biological Concepts: General biological concepts, like heritability of acquired traits, the role of epigenetics in evolution, and ecological concepts like population dynamics are touched upon.
