These two Protostomes are important for study of genetics and development
Crustaceans and Mollusks Are Important Animals In Marine Ecosystems
Insects, Spiders, and Mites Are Important Animals In Terrestrial Ecosystems
Lophotrochozoans grow by extending size of “skeleton” Ecdysosoans grow by shedding external skeletons “Worms” are not always closely related.
Flatworms (Platyhelmenthes) 20, 000 species No coelom, no circulataory system. Flat bodies have high surface area: volume ratio Many parasites in this group.
Segmented (Annelid) worms 16, 500 species Hydrostatic skeleton
Mollusca -- 93, 000 species The most morphologically-diverse Lophotrochozoans Chiton Nudibranch
Tube within tube; foot used for locomotion. Coelom greatly reduced. Shell sometimes absent.
Major groups of mollusks 1. Bivalves (hinged shell): clams, mussels, scallops, oysters Suspension feeders http: //cas. bellarmine. edu/tietjen/images/giant_clam. jpg
Major groups of mollusks 2. Gastropods: Snails, slugs, nudibranchs Radula for feeding. http: //cas. bellarmine. edu/tietjen/images/phylum_mollusca. htm
Major groups of mollusks 3. Cephalopods (Squid and Octopus) Foot modified into tentacles Move by undulation & jet propulsion Excellent vision, very smart http: //tolweb. org/tree? group=cephalopoda#titlefigcaption
Ecdysozoans grow by molting (shedding exoskeleton) Arthropods are by far the most important group.
Relative abundance of Protostome lineages There are 925, 000 named species of insects
Jointed exoskeleton: specialized eating and locomotion
Major groups of arthropods 1. Centipedes, Millipedes (Myriopods)
Major groups of arthropods 2. Spiders, Ticks, Mites, Scorpions, Horseshoe “crabs” 1. (Chelicerata) Movie of embryonic horseshoe crabs at http: //www. thekarenzagroup. com/bayguardian/limulusmovie. php
Major groups of arthropods 3. Crustaceans 1. (Shrimp, Lobster, Crabs, Barnacles)
Major groups of arthropods 4. Insects 1. 6 legs, four sets of mouthparts, usu four wings
