1
Class Anostraca Fairy and brine shrimp 27 trunk segments; only anterior segments (thorax) with appendages (phyllopoda) Thorax and abdomen distinct only by presence of appendages
2
Class Branchiopoda Water fleas Clear separation of tagmata reduced; head and trunk Mouth simple Thoracic appendages adapted for swimming; Abdomen lacks appendages Apparent segmentation lost Body shape is different from carapace Microscope slide of Daphnia
3
Class Malacostraca Large group of Crustacea (>20,000 species) See intro p.625 of lecture text for key features (Fig 19-19) General theme –3 tagmata –Biramous, uniramous, biramous
4
Order Stomatopoda Mantis shrimp Depressed body 3 tagmata Shield-like carapace Raptorial 1 st pair thoracic appendages First antennae triramous P. 627
5
Order Decapoda Largest order of Malacostraca Both antennae biramous 2 tagmata (cephalothorax and abdomen) Biramous, uniramous, biramous. Modification of first periopod in many Mouthparts 6, thoracic appendanges 5 Divergence of mouthparts varies
6
Order Mysidacea Shrimp-like but not decapods because retain many primitive characteristics Head with 3 fused thoracic segments Carapace onlyy attached 1 st – 3 rd thoracic segments but looks like cephalothorax Tagmata not fused
7
O. Amphipoda Compressed body No carapace 3 tagmata 1 – 2 thoracic segments fused to head (8 thoracic segments) Gnathopods are first two pair thoracic appendages not fused to head 6 segments Ab split into two parts
8
O. Isopoda 3 tagmata Head and 1 st thoracic segment fused Depressed body The 7 thoracic appendages generally unspecialized (all look the same) Last Ab segment fused with telson (pleotelson) Remaining Ab segments (5) have biramous pleopods Biramous, uniramous, biramous preserved specimens
9
Class Copepoda Body tapers anterior to posterior Short trunk (Th + Ab) 10 or fewer segments Head includes 3 fused thoracic segments Ab 4 segments, no appendage Posterior extensions rami, not uropods as in Malacostraca 1 st antennae variabe in size, can be long On slides
