Q

Rotifera Developmental Polymorphism

A
  • Summer: females of monogonont rotifers reproduce asexually, produces amictic ova (diploid) through mitosis
    -Fall: amictic ova develop into mictic females, which produce mictic ova (haploid) through meiosis
  • Males are reduced and infrequent in comparison to females

Q

Cryptobiosis

A
  • During dry spells, bdelloid rotifers will aggregate and form tuns
  • These stages can persist for years without water and will become active when water is reintroduced
  • Some rotifers can survive extreme cold

Q

Problems for phylogenetic analysis of spiralian relationships

A
  • Missing data (genes)

16
Q

What can mitigate LBA

A

Model-based statistical approaches (maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference)

17
Q

Heterotachy

A

Shift in site-specific evolutionary rates over time (rate of evolution for a given locus may vary from one part of the sequence to the next)

18
Q

Sensitivity analysis

A
  • Sensitivity plots are used in phylogenetics papers to summarize the “stability” of a relationship
  • A colored entry in a square means a node was recovered for that analysis
19
Q

Stability of Spiralian relationships

A

Spiralian relationships remain unstable

20
Q

Chaetognatha

A
  • Bilaterally symmetrical
  • Triploblastic
  • Trimeric body (head, trunk, postanal tail– all divided by transverse septa)
  • Fins and rays
  • No circular musculature
  • Lack discrete gas exchange or excretory systems
  • Complete gut (mouth and anus form secondarily, after closure of blastopore)
  • Hermaphroditic
  • Direct development
  • Radial cleavage
  • Dorsal and ventral ganglia
  • Ciliary fans for detection of water vibrations
  • Anterior ciliary loop
  • Marine
  • Predatory
  • Planktonic
  • Bioluminescent
21
Q

Chaetognath development

A
  • Males deposit sperm balls on females body
  • Sperm balls rupture and sperm migrate posteriorly into gonopores and oviducts
  • Eggs typically released into water column or deposited on algae; one deep water genus broods eggs until hatching
22
Q

Traditional (incorrect) metazoan phylogeny

A

The traditional (morphological) view of the animal tree of life reflected a ladder-like series of incremental evolution

23
Q

Characters defining Ecdysozoa

A

- Molecules
