  1. UNIT 7 INVERTEBRATES PART 2

  2. ARTHROPODS

  3. ARTHROPOD CHARACTERISTICS • Largest phylum of animals • Most marine arthropods are crustaceans • Body is segmented, bilaterally symmetrical • Jointed appendages • Exoskeleton made of chitin • Molt (shed exoskeleton) • small

  4. CRUSTACEANS • 68,000 known species • Most marine • Have gills • 2 pairs of antennae • Examples; copepods, barnacles, amphipods, isopods, krill, shrimp, lobster, crabs

  5. BIOLOGY OF CRUSTACEANS • Filter feeding • smaller crustaceans • Use bristles on appendages to gather particles • Use appendages in some for sucking and piercing • Stomach has chitinous teeth • Predators- decapods • Stomach is two chambered; digestive enzymes • Extracellular digestion; have anus

  6. Open circulatory system • Gill exchange gases • Simple brain; but well developed sensory organs • Compound eyes • Keen sense of smell • Communicate with signals

  7. REPRODUCTION & LIFE HISTORY • Separate sexes • Internal fertilization • In decapods, females carry their eggs in their pleopods or swimmerets • Most have planktonic larvae

  8. SMALL CRUSTACEANS • COPEPODS: planktonic; use mouthparts to filter and capture food • Some parasitic

  9. Barnacles- filter feeder; live attached to surfaces; body enclosed with heavy calcareous plates; have feathery filtering appendages called cirri

  10. Beach hopper • AMPHIPODS- have a curved body that is flattened sideways • Under ¾ in • Head and tail typically curve downward • Ex: whale lice, beach hoppers • 5000 species

  11. Right whale with whale lice Whale lice

  12. Fish lice • ISOPODS- similar in size to amphipods but have legs that are similar to each other and the body is dorsoventrally flat (flat back) • Pill bugs (land) • Fish lice

  13. Giant deep sea isopod

  14. KRILL OR EUPHAUSIIDS- shrimp-like crustaceans; up to 2.5”; planktonic; head is fused with some of the body segments to form a carapace • Most filter feeders • Polar waters • Deep water • Main food source for large marine mammals

  16. School of krill

  17. DECAPODS • Shrimps, lobsters, and crabs • 10000 species • Largest group of crustaceans • Five pairs of legs or perapods • 1st which is the heavier- the claw or cheliped • 3 pairs of maxillipeds- close to the mouth; used for eating • Well-developed carapace and encloses the cephlathorax (fused head and thorax) • abdomen

  18. Shrimps and lobsters • Laterally compressed bodies with elongated abdomens • Shrimps are scavangers-some are cleaners • Some burrow in muddy bottoms • Lobsters are mostly nocturnal; scavangers and predators; • Hermit crabs (they are not true crabs) are scavangers; hide in snail shells

  19. Mantis shrimp Giant lobster

  20. Hermit crab

  21. OTHER MARINE ARTHROPODS • HORSESHOE CRABS • 5 living species • Last of the class Merostomata; “living fossils” • Live on soft bottoms in shallow water • 5 pairs of legs

  22. SEA SPIDERS • 4 or more pairs of jointed legs w/small body • Large proboscis w/mouth at the tip used to feed on small invertebrates • Cold water

  23. Insects • 3 prs of legs as an adult • Rare in the sea • Most live on water’s edge or high tide mark • Marine water strider

  24. LOPHOPORATES BRYOZOANS, PHORONOIDS, LAMP SHELLS

  25. LOPHOPHORATE CHARACTERISTICS • 3 groups • Have a unique feeding structure called the lophophorate which is a set of ciliated tentacles arranged in a horseshoe shape • Suspension feeders • No segmentation • Bilateral symmetry • U-shaped gut

  26. BRYOZOANS- form colonies on seaweeds, rocks and other species • 4500 species; almost all marine • In phylum Ectoprocta • Colonies of individuals called ZOOIDS that secrete skeletons of various shapes • Lopophore is retractable • U-shaped gut ends in an anus outside the edge of the lophophore

  27. PHORONOIDS-worm-like and build tubes • Horseshoe-shaped or circular lophopore • 20 species • Burrow in sand or attach tubes to hard surfaces • Very small

  28. LAMP SHELLS OR BRACHIOPODS • 350 SPECIES • Shell w/2 valves that are dorsal and ventral to the body • Have a lophophore- w/2 ciliated and coiled arms • Attached to rocks or burrowed in soft sediment

  29. ARROW WORMS CHAETOGNATHS

  30. Characteristics of Arrow worms • About 100 species • Transparent; streamlined; fish-like fins and tail • Head has eyes, grasping spines and teeth • Up to 4” • carnivores

  32. ECHINODERMS 5-WAY SYMMETRY “spiny-skinned” movie

  33. ECHINODERM CHARACTERISTICS • Radially symmetrical-adults • Pentamerous – based on 5-parts • Bilaterally symmetrical- planktonic larvae • No head • No anterior/posterior end; no ventral/dorsal side • Refer to the oral and aboral side • Complete digestive tract • Well-developed coelom

  34. Endoskeleton • Water-vascular system- waterfilled canals • Tube feet- muscular extensions of canals • Extended when filled with water- have muscular sacs called ampullae • Used for movement, attachment, and receiving chemical and mechanical stimuli • Madeporite- or sieve plate- in sea stars and sea urchins; on the aboral side; where water enters the water vascular system

  35. BIOLOGY OF ECHINODERMS • Radial symmetry = sedentary life style • Feeding and digestion- sea stars are carnivorous; they extend their stomach out through their mouth and excrete digestive enzymes; the food is then carried into the digestive gland and the stomach moves back into the body; if intestines are present, they are very small • Brittle stars- no anus; very simple guts • Crinoids- simple guts

  36. Feeding and digestion cont. • Sea urchins and sea cucumbers have long coiled guts (sea urchins need this because they are herbivores and the sea cucumbers need this because they need to process sediment) • In all echinoderms, nutrients are passed in the coelomic fluid within the coelom • Also transports oxygen because they don’t have a circulatory system • Sea cucumbers have respiratory trees- which are thin, branched tubes that are connected to the gut and extend out to the anus

  37. NERVOUS SYSTEM AND BEHAVIOR- have a nerve net- more complex actions than cnidarians though • REPRODUCTION AND LIFE HISTORY- • Separate sexes • External fertilization • Zygote develops into a ciliated larva • Some don’t have larva but brood their offspring in specialized pouches • Some reproduce asexually by the separation of the central disc or body into two pieces- REGENERATION

  38. TYPES OF ECHINODERMS • 7000 KNOWN SPECIES- all marine • Bottom dwellers • 1. Class Asteroidea= sea stars • 5 arms that radiate from central disk • Amulacral groove= the radiating channels on the arms • Can move in any direction • Endoskeleton = interconnected plates of calcium carbonate creating very flexible arms; aboral surface may be covered with spines that are modified into pincer like organs called pedicellariae which helps to keep the surface clean

  39. Asteroidea cont. • Most are predators of bivalves, snails, barnacles or other attached or slow moving animals • Class Ophiuroidea= brittle stars; 5 arms are very long and brittle • Most eat detritus and small animals • Tube feet don’t have suckers, used for feeding • No anus • Most species (2000)
