lab 7: arthropoda - crustacea Flashcards
one characteristic of crustaceans in common
two sets of antennae
appendages are
biramous
5 head appendages
- antennules
- antennae
- mandibles
- 1st maxillae
- 2nd maxillae
exopodite
jointer outer branch of appendage
endopodite
jointed inner branch of appendage
nauplius larvae form
head with 3 segments with appendages
class malacostraca (5)
lobsters shrimps crabs isopods amphipods
class branchiopoda
brine shrimp
class branchiura
fish lice
class cirrepedia
barnacles
malacostracan tagmata
- head, thorax, and tail
- most have a carapace covering the head and thorax
order decapoda (3)
lobsters, shrimps, crabs
order mysidacea
freshw opossum shrimp
order amphipoda
sand fleas
order isopoda
wood bugs and marine kin
order euphausiacea
krill
decapod appendages
- 1st 3 thoracic appendages are maxillipeds
- remaining 5 are walking legs
gill bailer funct
create a forward flow of w thru the branchial chamber beneath the carapace
swimmerets
in lobsters, for swimming, repro
uropods
in lobsters, for swimming, digging (telson)
telson
digging and steering
crab abdomen
much reduced and folded up under cephalothorax
crab sex determination
thinner elongated lighthouse in males, wider more rounded in females
lobster babies
direct development
crab babies (2)
zoea larva and megalops larvae
amphipod body (2)
- lack a carapace
- laterally flattened
isopod body (2)
- dorsoventrally compressed
- lack a carapace
pill bug resp
branching tubular structures called pseudo-trachea
- convergent evo w/ hexapods
diff in carapace btwn mysids and euphausiacea
carapace in euphs is fused to all the thoracic segments and is short on the sides and doesn’t cover the bases of the thoracic appendages
branchiopoda feeding
filter feed
branchiopod w
fresh
sea monkeys
branchiopods
ostracods resemble
bivalves
copepods lack (2)?
gills
abdominal appendages
branchiura body
dorsoventrally flattened
branchiura attach to hosts via
maxillae modified suckers/hooks
how do cirrepedia filter feed
using modified legs called cirri to sweep in particles
2 features separating cirrepedia from other crustaceans
sessile as adults
hermaphroditic
cirrepedia repro
large penis ferts neighbours; not open fert
