arthropods Flashcards
phylum tardigrada
terrestrial, live in water film around mosses and lichens, unsegmented oval body, trunk has pairs of legs with 4-8 pairs of claws
superphylum ecdysozoa
grow by molting, locomotion not by cilia, common set of homeobox genes
phylum priapulida
body has introvert trunk, one or 2 caudal appendages, eat worms, sexes separate but no male found
phylum kinorhyncha
small, 11 segments, retractile head, flat body ventrally, dorsally arched, cant swim but live in marine mud
phylum onychophora
velvet worms, 70 species, fossils from mid-cambrian
phylum chaetognatha
marine and planktonic, unsegmented body with head trunk and postanal tail, feed on copopods
phylum arthropod characters
show metamerism with tagmatization, jointed exoskeleton, and ventral nervous system
metamerism
specialized segments with appendages
tagmatization
allows specialization of regions of body for special functions
subphylum trilobitomorpha
marine, lived from cambrian to permian, body divided into 3 lobes caused by grooves, have antennas
biramous appendages
consists of 2 lobes and serve as either walking, swimming, digging legs or gills
class dinocaridida
shrimplike superpredator with enhanced vision
subphylum chelicerata
body divided into a prosoma and opisthosoma, first pair of appendages pincerlike and used for feeding
subclass xiphosurida
unsegmented horseshoe shaped carapace with abdomen and telson, book gills
class meristomata
giant sea scorpion, early devonian, 2 meters long
class arachnida
2 tagmata, cephalothorax has chelicerae, pedipalps, 4 pairs of walking legs, predaceous, has venom glands, sucking pharynx
class pycnogonida
benthic, marine, carnivores, muscular pharynx, mouth at end of proboscis, digestion is intracellular, no excretory or respiratory organs, or coelom
subphylum myriapoda
class chilopoda, one pair of walking legs per body segment
class diplopoda
2 pairs of legs per body segment
subphylum crustacea
most aquatic, head with 2 pairs of antennae, one pair of mandibles and 2 pair of maxillae, biramous appendages
class ramipedia
12 species of underwater cave dwelling, 30 segments with biramous appendages, kills prey with venomous fangs
class cephalocarida
small leaflike appendages, hermaphrodites
class branchiopoda
flattened leaf like appendages that are used in respiration, filterfeeding, and locomotion. freshwater
class ostracoda
enclosed in bivalve carapace, fusion of trunk segments, found in plankton
class maxillopoda
5 cephalic segments, 6 thoracic segments, 4 abdominal segments
subclass copepoda
maxillipeds for feeding, habitat ranges from freshwater to hypersaline solutions, many parasitic
subclass cirripedia
sessile adults, marine, enclosed in calcium carbonate valves, barnacles
class malacostroca
appendages modified for crawling, swimming, or feeding
subphylum hexapoda
class egtonatha-base of mouthparts in head capsule and mandibles have articulation class insecta- mouthparts exit head capsule and mandibles have 2 regions of articulation
