animal phyla Flashcards
hierarchy thinking origins of animal
plato and aristotle; scale of nature where humans on top with anatomical and intellectual complexity
resulted in scientists talking of ‘higher and lower animals’
baron cuvier organization of animal kingdom
1812: based on morphology
- radiata
- articulata
- mollusca
- vertebrata
articulata
animals with vody diveided into segements like insects and earthworns
mollusca
animals with a shell and brain
vertebrara
animals with bony sekeltons, muscular heart and red blood
radiata
circular animals such as jellyfish and starfish
charles darwin and afred russeel wallace theory; what does evolution explain?
evolution explains why every animal species has similarities with others and why groups of species with common features can be identified
how are living things classified?
based on evolution reflecting natural order; statement of relatedness
mesozoa split
split into the rhombozoa and orthonectida
rhombozoa
tiny worm like parasites
orthonectida
more tiny world like parasites living in urine of octobus and squid
platyhelminth
flatworms, tape worms and flukes
- some species of these have been placed into acoelomoprha
recent ‘new’ phyla
aceolomorpha and split of mesozoa into rhombozo and orthonectida
loriceferia
miniturature urn shaped animals found in sand grains
micrognathozoa
smaller animals found in freshwater spring in greenland c
cyliophora
tiny animals in mouthparts of lobsters
when are new phyla proposed? exmaples
- if totally new species found that dont match to any prexiexitng phyla
- e.g. cycliophora, loricifera, microghathozoa
when are phyla lost? example
if its discovered that the whole group fits into anothe rphylum (merge of two groups into one)
e. g. giant tube worms or pognophorans (2 m long) turn out to be mofidified members of the Annelida
e. g. Pentastomida (tongue worms) turn out to be Arthopoda
porifera
sponges
cnidaria
jellyfish, coals, sea anemones
arthoporda
insects, spiders, crabs, centipedes
nematoda
roundworms
annelids

platyhelminth
flatworms, flukes tapeworms
echinodermata
starfish and sea urchins
chordata

brysozoa
moss animals
nemertea
ribbon worms
rotifera
wheel animals in pond water
tardigrada
water bears
how do you know animals are part of nematoda?
- have a thick elastic cuticile
- a pumping pharynx
basal animals
placozoa, profera, cnidaria, ctenophora (comb jellies)
lophotrochozoa
- annelids, mollusca, nemertea, brachiopoda, phoronida, bryozoa, entoprocta, platyhelminth, dicymeida, rotifera,, gastrotricha, ghanthostomulida, micrognathozoa, cycliophora
