1 Phylum Arthropoda

2 Jointed Legs

3 Number of species Mollusca Chordata Platyhelminthes Nematoda
Arthropoda Porifera Annelida Echinodermata Sarcomastigophora Apicomplex Ciliophora

4 Characteristics of Arthropods
Jointed appendages Extensive variation and adaptations(antennae, legs, wings. Mouthparts) Segmented (metameric) tagmatation- fusion of segments to form body regions(head, thorax, abdomen; cephalothorax in some) Open circulatory system Ventral nerve cord Compound eyes Bilateral symmetry Exoskeleton Ecdysis- “an escape” - growth by molting

5 Arthropods Most Successful Animals
Number of species Diversity Distribution Longevity

6 Reasons for Success Versatile exoskeleton Segmentation
Oxygen piped directly to cells (terrestrial) Highly developed sensory organs Complex behavior Metamorphosis

7 Modifications of Exoskeleton

8 Compound Eye

9 Metamorphosis: complete-
Metamorphosis: complete- egglarvapupa adult incomplete- eggnymphadult

10 Monarch Butterfly Egglarva (caterpillar)pupa (in chrysalis) adult

11 Arthropod Groups Subphylum Trilobitomorpha
Class Trilobita- extinct trilobites Subphylum Chelicerata Class Merostomata – horseshoe crabs Class Arachnida- spiders, mites, etc. Subphylum Mandibulata Class Myriapoda- centipedes, millipedes Class Insecta- insects Class Crustacea- lobsters, crabs, etc.

12 Subphylum Trilobitomorpha
Trilobites Successful for 300 million years Extinct 200 MYA One pair of antennae appendages

13 Subphylum Chelicerata
Chelicerae( fangs) No antenna No mandibles 4 pair of walking legs 1 pair of pedipalps

14 Class Merostomata Limulus Carapace Telson
Dates back to Triassic 245 MYA Carapace Telson Blood used by pharmaceutical companies to test for endotoxins and pathogens

16 pedipalps Walking legs Fig. 18.2b Spines

17 Class Arachnida Spiders Scorpions Ticks Mites All Have book lungs

18 Class Arachnida Chelicerae (fangs) 1st pair of appendages around mouth- often with poison No antennae 4 pair of walking legs 2 body segments (cephalothorax + abdomen) Except mites & ticks Most are predators Inject enzymes into prey Suck fluid into pharynx

19 Arachnid Body Regions Prosoma or Cephalothorax Ophisthosoma or Abdomen

20 Order Scorpionida Large pedipalps Abdominal stinger

35 Order Acari Ticks Mites Body segments fused

36 Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Ticks are vector High fever Headache Muscle pain Rash BEGINS ON EXTREMETIES 25% fatal without antibiotics

37 Dermacentor variabilis
Dog tick Dermacentor andersoni Wood tick

38 Fig

39 Dermatophagoides Dust mite Allergies to fecal products
1 gram of dust holds 250,000 droppings

40 Trombicula Chigger mite Larva feed on skin Dermatitis

41 Subphylum Mandibulata
Class Myriapoda centipedes and millipedes Class Insecta most diverse animal class flies, bees, beetles, ants, etc. Class Crustacea crabs, lobster, barnacles, copepod

42 Subphylum Mandibulata
Two pair of antennae (anterior to feeding appendages) Third segment bear mandibles (jaws for chewing or grinding) Compound eye

43 Class Myriapoda “many appendages”
Fewer than 10 to hundreds of appendages Millipedes (mostly herbivorous + plain in color) Centipedes ( colorful, carnivorous)

44 Class Insecta(FKA-Hexapoda)
Most biodiverse class of animals Only invert.s that can fly Distinctive head, thorax, abdomen Typically –three pair of legs (6) Have metamophosis

45 Class Crustacea Biramous appendages- separate into two rays
3 pairs modified as mouth parts Two pair antennae Naupliar larval stage Crabs, copepods, crayfish, barnacles, lobster, shrimp, pill bugs

46 Class Crustacea: Pill Bug
Only crustacean that is entirely terrestrial “rollie pollies”
