Jointed Legs

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

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

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”
