Q

Turbellaria reproduction

A

most are hermaphroditic, transfer sperm by piercing the
body of a partner with sharp copulatory organ, often both desire to transfer sperm, leads to “penis-fencing”, one species able to copulate with its own head

Q

Cestoidea reproduction

A
  1. mature proglottids filled with eggs are
    defecated by host
  2. eggs eaten by intermediate host, develop into larvae that encyst in tissues of intermediate host

Q

Echinococcus in humans

A
  1. eggs hatch in small intestine
  2. larvae migrate through circulatory system to liver (sometimes end up in other soft tissues)
  3. larvae undergo asexual reproduction, split into thousands of new larvae, all located in a large hydatid cyst
  4. can go undetected for up to 20 years, but when cyst becomes big it causes problems

stalked colonies or moss-like mats, look like coral, but have units specialized for different tasks and some are able to move

25
Q

Phylum Annelida

A

segmented worms

26
Q

Annelida 3 classes

A
  1. Polychaeta
  2. Oligochaeta (within polychaeta)
  3. Hirudinea (within polychaeta)
27
Q

4 Annelid characteristics

A
  1. segmented
  2. eucoelomate
  3. closed circulatory system
  4. complete digestive system with anus
28
Q

segmented

A

many repeated units with similar internal and external anatomy, separated by internal septa

29
Q

“Polychaeta”

A

marine

30
Q

polychaeta morphology

A
  1. parapodia

2. clearly differentiated head with sensory antennae, often eyes

31
Q

parapodia

A

fleshy lobes that bear many chaetae

32
Q

errant polychaetes

A

active, parapodia and head better developed than sedentary species

33
Q

sedentary

A

rarely move, but can if necessary

34
Q

errant polychaete feeding

A

predatory

35
Q

sedentary polychaete feeding

A

ingest substrate, suspension feed, or deposit feed

36
Q

deposit feeding

A

trailing sticky tentacles over substrate and licking off adhering matter

37
Q

polychaete reproduction

A
  1. free spawning
  2. some species have modified body parts swim to surface to release gametes
  3. trochophore larvae are planktonic
  4. subsequent larvae lead benthic lives
38
Q

free spawning

A

eggs and sperm released into water, fertilization occurs outside body of female parent

39
Q

“Oligochaeta”

A

earthworms, lack parapodia and well-developed head, non-leech spp. still have a few chaetae, feed by ingesting substrate and digesting organic matter

40
Q

oligochaete reproduction

A
  1. simultaneous hermaphrodites, transfer sperm by copulation (do not free spawn)
  2. deposit sperm in partner’s seminal receptacle, receives in own
  3. produces gelatinous cocoon with secretions from clitellum
  4. deposits eggs in cocoon, slides cocoon forwards, deposits sperm (external fertilization)
  5. direct development (no larval stage)
41
Q

composting

A

terrestrial oligochaetes create smaller fragments of organic matter, and aerate soil through turning over and burrowing

42
Q

de-worming of Canada

A

caused by glaciation, now crawling back

43
Q

“Hirudinea”

A

leeches, mostly freshwater, some marine and terrestrial, nested within oligochaetes

A
  1. lack parapodia, have clitellum

2. lack chaetae

45
Q

Q

mollusca morphology

A

A

grazers scrape algae off substrates using radula, few predatory

53
Q

nudibranchs

A

shell-less marine gastropods ‘sea slugs’, many brilliantly coloured, protected by nematocysts of cnidarians (eat cnidarians, but prevent nematocysts from firing and store nematocysts in own tissues)

54
