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

• Class Trilobita- 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 (horseshoe crabs)– Dates back to Triassic– 245 MYA

• Carapace• Telson • Blood used by

pharmaceutical companies to test for endotoxins and pathogens

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

Subphylum MandibulataSubphylum MandibulataClass Myriapoda

centipedes and millipedes

Class Insectamost diverse animal classflies, bees, beetles, ants, etc.

Class Crustaceacrabs, 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

Class Myriapoda• “many

appendages”• Fewer than 10 to

hundreds of appendages

• Millipedes (mostly herbivorous + plain in color)

• Centipedes

( colorful, carnivorous) 43

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 metamorphosis

44

Class Crustacea• Biramous appendages-

separate into two rays• 3 pairs modified as

mouth parts• Two pair antennae• gills• Naupliar larval stage• Crabs, copepods,

crayfish, barnacles, lobster, shrimp, pill bugs 45
