what characteristics do sponges share with choanoflagellates

* Both are benthic (live at bottom of aquatic environments) • Both are sessile as adults (adults live permanently attached to a substrate rather than moving freely) • Both feed using cells with nearly identical morphology • Beating flagella of choanoflagellates and specialized cells in sponges called choanocytes trap organic debris • Feeding and digestion occurs at the cellular level

As animals diversified, a wide array of even more specialized sensory abilities evolved allowing for the detection of:

* Magnetic fields * Electric Fields * Barometric Pressure

protection of sponges

*Spicules • Toxins/warning coloration • Toxic secondary metabolites • Some sea slugs co-opt sponge defenses (toxins,spicules) • Regenerative ability • Camouflage

Importance of protostomes:

- Major direct source of food for humans - Provide ecosystem services - Some damage crops - Some produce materials such as silk and pearls - Cause or transmit human diseases and are parasites - Include two of the most important model organisms (fruit fly and roundworm)

How do fossils provide evidence for evolution of animals?

- Provide direct evidence of what ancient animals looked like, when they existed, and where they lived - However, the fossil record does not represent all animals equally • Animals that were most likely to fossilize were abundant, had hard body parts and lived in areas where sedimentation was occurring • Soft bodied groups do not fossilize well

coral feeding

-Capture zooplankton - could contain mutualistic zooxanthellae

Purpose of exoskeleton

. Protection from predators • Provides an effective structure for muscle attachment • During molting, the animal's soft body is exposed and vulnerable

The most prominent lineages of chelicerates are _____________

terrestrial (spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites, and daddy longlegs), some are marine (horseshoe crabs and sea spiders)

copulation

the act of mating

Chelicerate bodies consist of two tagmata:

the cephalothorax (prosoma) and the abdomen opisthosoma)

Higher oxygen levels allow for

the evolution of big, mobile animals due to the efficiency of aerobic respiration

embryogenesis

the formation and development of an embryo

he segmented body of most crustaceans is divided into three tagmata:

the head, thorax, and abdomen,

hemimetabolous metamorphosis

the juvenile form is called a nymph and looks like a miniature adult

Pinacoderm

the outer layer of the sponge body made up of pinacocytes, functions to keep small molecules drom diffusing in and out of the sponge

Visceral Mass (Mollusca)

the region containing most of the main internal organs and external gill

genetic toolkit

the regulatory genes that govern developmental processes that have been highly conserved throughout evolution

Insect eggs have a __________ that keeps in moisture

thick membrane

Snail and slug eggs have a __________that retains water

thick shell

Pharynx

throat

Copepods

tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans that are often the most free-floating animals in estuarine waters

Why do animals move?

to obtain food, find mates, escape from predators, and disperse into new habitats

molt

to shed the exoskeleton and grow a new one

Ctenophores are receptive to

touch, light, vibration, temperature, certain chemicals

homologous traits

traits are similar because they were inherited from a common ancestor

analogous trait

traits are similar not due to shared inheritance, but because they evolved independently (by convergent evolution)

Crustaceans have ___________ tagmata, branched appendages, and two pairs of __________

two or three antennae

Some mollusk species have a shell with one, two, or eight parts, called _______; others have no shell at all

valves

A segmented backbone is one of the defining characteristics of

vertebrates

Insects have a ________to minimize water loss to the atmosphere

waxy layer

Insects were the first animals on Earth to evolve ________ Molecular genetic research provides evidence that wings arose from __________ projections on the branched legs of a wingless ancestor

wings gill-like

Rotifers are one of the main ___________ groups.

zooplankton

Ctenophores can have an effect on the population of _______, ________, and ________

zooplankton, larval fish, and invertebrates

You can be confident that an animal belongs to the Lophotrochozoa if you observe any of the following:

• A lophophore • A trochophore larvae • Spiral cleavage However, not all lophotrochozoans possess all three of these characteristics

Animals form a monophyletic clade of eukaryotes with key traits

• All are multicellular • Unlike plants they have no cell walls, but animal cells do have an extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) • All are heterotrophs (but see Elysia) • All are mobile at some point in their life cycle • Except for sponges, all have nerve and muscle cells

How do comparative morphology, development, and genomics provide evidence for evolution of animals?

• Biologists must distinguish between homologous and analogous traits • Homologous traits are similar because they were inherited from a common ancestor • Analogous traits are similar not due to shared inheritance, but because they evolved independently (by convergent evolution)

Choanocytes function

• Circulate water • Capture small food particles • Capture incoming sperm for fertilization

Traditionally, two phyla of animals are recognized as diploblasts:

• Ctenophora (comb jellies) • Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals, sea pens, hydra, and anemones)

What Is the Adaptive Significance of Metamorphosis?

• Holometabolous metamorphosis is 10 times more common than hemimetabolous metamorphosis • Biologists hypothesize that this is because of feeding efficiency • If adults and juveniles feed on different materials they do not compete with each other for resources

epithelial tissue

• It consists of tightly joined cells that covers interior and exterior surface of animal

sexual reproduction in ctenophores

• Most hermaphrodites; may self-fertilize • Gonads within the gastrovascular canals • Eggs and sperm spawned via pores (external fertilization in the open sea) • Adults generally die after spawning

Because they lack any organs, sponges depend on water flow for:

• Obtaining food • Gas exchange • Waste removal • Dissemination and collection of sperm

compare Tardigrada and Onychophora to arthropods

• They are similar to arthropods in having a segmented body and segmented limbs • Unlike arthropods, their cuticle is not hardened as an exoskeleton, and their limbs are not jointed

Roundworms play an important ecological role

• They feed on a wide variety of materials including bacteria, archaea, fungi, plant roots, small protists, and detritus • In most species, the mouthparts are structured in away that increases the efficiency of feeding on a particular type of organism or material • Most roundworms are free-living, others parasitize animals, including humans
