II. Animal Diversity C. Bilateria 2. Deuterostomes – blastopore forms anus c. Chordata: 3. Vertebrata - four traits - vertebral column - trends: - increased locomotion - increased cephalization - adaptations to land
2
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata a. Origin of Vertebrates - filter feeding ancestor (lancelet-like) - 550 mya - Pikaea

II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata a. Origin of Vertebrates
4
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata b. Jawless Fishes – (Class: Agnatha) - Early: Ostracoderms – filter feeding
5
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata b. Jawless Fishes – (Class: Agnatha) - Current: lampreys, hagfishes: parasitic
6
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes
7
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - gill arches
8
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - gill arches - evolved to jaws
9
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - gill arches - evolved to jaws - new niche for verts (predator - not just detritivore like the ostracoderms...)
10
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - gill arches - evolved to jaws - new niche for verts - priority on locomotion (to catch prey)
11
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - gill arches - evolved to jaws - new niche for verts - priority on locomotion - Cephalization (to catch prey)
12
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - Placoderms(extinct – survived to Permian) dominant predators paired appendages for swimming
14
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - Placoderms(extinct – survived to Permian) - Cartilaginous fish (Class: Chondrichthyes) also efficient paired fins - sharks - skates, rays - ratfish - must swim or sink; spend lots of energy
15
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - Placoderms(extinct – survived to Permian) - Cartilaginous fish (Class: Chondrichthyes) - Bony Fish (Class: Osteichthyes)
16
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - Placoderms(extinct – survived to Permian) - Cartilaginous fish (Class: Chondrichthyes) - Bony Fish (Class: Osteichthyes) - light bone skeleton
17
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - Placoderms(extinct – survived to Permian) - Cartilaginous fish (Class: Chondrichthyes) - Bony Fish (Class: Osteichthyes) - light bone skeleton - air sac for respiration
18
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata c. Jawed Fishes - Placoderms(extinct – survived to Permian) - Cartilaginous fish (Class: Chondrichthyes) - Bony Fish (Class: Osteichthyes) - light bone skeleton - air sac for respiration - in Ray-finned: swim bladder (light, buoyant, fast) save energy by floating
19
- Bony Fish (Class: Osteichthyes) - light bone skeleton - air sac for respiration - in Ray-finned: swim bladder (light, buoyant, fast) - in Lobe-finned and lungfish: evolved jointed fins… could support weight on land, and breath with air sac. (Devonian – 400my)

II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata d. Amphibians
21
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata d. Amphibians - Evolved in Devonian (375 mya) - Lungfish - fed on abundant terrestrial Arthropods
22
An extraordinary sequence of intermediates documenting the colonization of land. The "red gap" was filled in 2006. 385 mya 365 mya
24
Eusthenopteron
25
Panderichthys rhombolepis
26
Tiktaalik roseae
27
Acanthostega gunnari
28
Ichthyostega sp. (remember ?)
29
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata d. Amphibians - Caecilians, Frogs and Toads, Salamanders
30
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata d. Amphibians - Caecilians, Frogs and Toads, Salamanders - small lungs, respiratory skin must stay moist
31
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata d. Amphibians - Caecilians, Frogs and Toads, Salamanders - small lungs, respiratory skin must stay moist - eggs must stay moist
32
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata e. Reptiles – evolved in Carboniferous (325 mya)
33
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata e. Reptiles - amniotic egg with shell; protects embryo from desiccation (like a seed...) embryo
34
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata e. Reptiles - amniotic egg with shell - kidney to produce concentrated urine...(reduces water loss. reptiles and birds excrete their nitrogenous waste as a paste (the white stuff in a bird's droppings) that requires little water.)
35
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata e. Reptiles - amniotic egg with shell - kidney to produce concentrated urine - scales to reduce water loss from skin (correlating with a larger lung compared to amphibians)
37
From 250 to 200 mya, the formation of the supercontinent of Pangaea created warm dry climates that gave ‘reptiles’ the edge. Remember? This gave gymnosperms the edge, too...
38
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata f. Mammals: ‘Reptile to Mammal’ transitions - deep history: Pelycosaurs
39
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata f. Mammals: ‘Reptile to Mammal’ transitions - deep history: Pelycosaurs Therapsids
40
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata f. Mammals: - traits: - hair (endothermy)
41
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata f. Mammals: - traits: - hair (endothermy) - nurse young
42
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata g. Mammals: - Development: - Lay eggs (Monotremes)
43
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata g. Mammals: - Development: - Lay eggs (Monotremes) - birth (Marsupials)
44
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata g. Mammals: - Development: - Lay eggs (Monotremes) - birth (Marsupials) - birth of independent offspring (Placentals)
45
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata g. Mammals: - Radiation:
46
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata g. Birds: - Reptilian Roots feathered dinosaurs and endothermy
48
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata g. Birds: - Reptilian Roots feathered dinosaurs and endothermy - flight
49
II. Animal Diversity 3. Vertebrata g. Birds: - one way lung
50
even on an exhalation, new air is pulled through the lungs... so birds even absorb oxygen on an exhalation. One way transport is more efficient (like a gut)...

54
A. Patterns: 3. Summary - innovation: new “adaptive zone” colonized (a new place, like an island, or a new habitat (like land or the air).
55
A. Patterns: 3. Summary - innovation: new “adaptive zone” colonized - radiation – explosion of species colonizing new areas and exploiting new environments in this new way
56
A. Patterns: 3. Summary - innovation: new “adaptive zone” colonized - radiation – explosion of species colonizing new areas and exploiting new environments in this new way - competitive contraction? – winners exclude others…

58
Summary - Patterns in Vertebrate Diversity I. Innovation and Radiation A. Patterns: B. Mechanisms: - How/why is a new adaptive zone colonized? 1. Evolve a new way of life that allows the organism to use resources in a new way (adaptations to land… adaptations for flight…)
