21
Q

Deuterostomia

A

Complete gut, dorsal hollow nerve cord, ciliated bars and slits, notochord, post-anal tail, endostyle

22
Q

Echinodermata

A

Monophyletic, marine, oral and aboral surfaces, complete gut, pentaradial symmetry, calcareous exokeleton, open ambulacral grooves, water vascular system

23
Q

Pentaradial symmetry

A

5 parts around central axis, laraval stage is bilateral, non-centralized nervous system

24
Q

Calcareous endoskeletal plates

A

Also called ossicles, hard plates the cover the body, often form a “test”, can have bumps called tubercles and moveable spines, can produce pedicellariae

25
Q

Pedicellariae

A

Pincers used to grab and remove debris

26
Q

Ambulacral grooves

A

5 grooves which tube feet are aligned on
- closed on urchins and cucumbers
- open on sea stars

27
Q

Water vascular system

A

Series of canals and tube feet filled with water, comes in through the madreporite (skeletal plate) which acts like a water regulating valve

28
Q

Madreoprite

A

Skeletal plate, acts like a water regulating valve

29
Q

Crinoidea

A

Basal lineage of echinodermata

Sessile or mobile, arms with ciliated grooves for suspension feeding, loss of external maderporite

30
Q

Asteroidea

A

Sea stars

5+ arms connected to central disk, madreporite on aboral side, feed by inverting their stomatches and secreting digestive fluids

31
Q

Ophiurodiea

A

Brittle stars and basket stars

Usually live deep, tube feet without suckers, madreporite on oral side, highly articulated arms with vertebral plates

31
Q

Echinoidea and Holothuroidea

A

Sister taxa to echinodermata

Abulacral groove running from oral to aboral pores

32
Q

Echinoidea

A

Sea urchins and sand dollars

Fusion of skeletal plates, moveable spines

33
Q

Holothuroidea

A

Sea cumcumbers

10-30 retractable oral tentacles around mouth, elongate on oral/aboral asix, endoskeleton reduced, internal madreporite

34
Q

Hemichordata

A

Acorn worms

Unique proboscis, excretes waste, digestive tract between mouth and esophagus (pharynx), perforated opening leads from pharyns to outside (pharyngeal bars/slits)

35
Q

Chordata

A

Pharyngeal bars/slits, notochord, post-anal tail, endostyle, dorsal nerve cord

36
Q

Pharyngeal bars/slits

A

Repeated opening goes into pharynx, water goes in mouth and out slits, later becomes gills in fish

37
Q

Notochord

A

Rod like structure extenting the length of the body, provides axis for muscle attachment, allows for undulaing movement, reduced in tunicates

38
Q

Post-anal tail

A

Helps with swimming

39
Q

Endostyle

A

Thickened ciliated groove on pharynx, moves food to gut

40
Q

A

Developed into brain and spine

41
Q

Live in shallow sand, filter feeds, burrow with posterior end, segmented bodies, large digestive cecum, cuccal apparatus

42
Q

Urochordata

A

Tunicates and salps

Sessile or free-living, incurrent and excurrent siphon, enlarges pharynx

43
Q

Keystone species

A

Species with a disproportionate impact compared to its abundance.

ex. Sea stars are vicious predators –> feed on muscles which are a competitor for space –> by eating muscles, there is more space for other animals to thrive –> increase biodiversity

44
Q

Trophic cascade

A

When changes in the abundance of one species have dramatic effects on the rest of the ecosystem.

ex. Sea otters keep urchins in check –> less urchins = more biodivdersity –> orcas feed on sea otters –> without otters, urchins grow out of control –> decreased biodiversity
