Chordates • In 1798, scientists from
the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast
• They examined its flat duck like bill, its webbed feet and concluded this was not a real animal, but a joke someone was playing on them– In reality they were looking
at the duck-billed platypus

PlatypusThe platypus looks like no other animal, but has features
similar to other animalsSimilar features of the platypus:• Like mammals:
– Tail similar to a beaver and webbed feet similar to an otter– Like other mammals has hair and produces milk for its young
• Its milk though is secreted from its skin• Like birds and reptiles:
– has a single opening, called a cloaca, which functions for both reproduction and excretion
– Lays eggs which hatch in immature young– Like some reptiles it is venomous

Platypus and Young
![Page 6: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Theory to the Madness• Even with its awkward look the platypus is very successful as
its structures are well adapted for its lifestyle and habitat– Structures allow for the platypus to be mobile on land and in
water• Tail acts as rudder and feet as paddles in the water• During day hides in underground burrows, dug with clawed hind feet
– It hunts mollusks in the water and its bill is highly sensitive making ideal for locating prey, but also for scooping it up• Bill has more than 80,000 sense organs in it• Some of these sense organs allow for detection of motion created by prey
– Dense oily fur and layer of fat under the skin protects from the cold of water, minimizing heat loss• This is key as platypus remains in water through the night and without this
system to maintain heat would chill, become sluggish and eventually succumb to hypothermia
– Poorly developed eyes as spends much of time underground, were large eyes would be useless and easily irritated by soil

Section 12.1 Phylum Chordata
![Page 9: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Phylum Chordata• When most think of animals
they think of a chordate as this is the phylum that contains most animals we are all familiar with
• Even though chordates usually considered the most familiar and interesting of all animals they only make about 5% of all known animal species and are one of the most recent groups of animal
![Page 10: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Classification of Chordates
• Chordates make a distinct phylum containing organisms that at some time in their development have:– A notochord– Hollow dorsal nerve tube– Tail that extends beyond the anus– Muscular tube called the pharynx• The pharynx functions in feeding and/or respiration• At some time in embryonic development, chordates
have slits in the wall of the pharynx
![Page 11: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

![Page 12: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Notochord• Is present in all chordate
embryos• Is a longitudinal, flexible
rod located between the digestive tube and the nerve cord.– It is composed of large,
fluid-filled cells encased in fairly stiff, fibrous tissue.
– It provides skeletal support throughout most of the length of the animal.
– While the notochord persists in the adult stage of some invertebrate chordates and primitive vertebrates, it remains as only a remnant in vertebrates with a more complex, jointed skeleton.• For example, it is the gelatinous
material of the disks between vertebrae in humans.
![Page 13: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hollow Dorsal Nerve Tube• Develops in the
vertebrate embryo from a plate of ectoderm that rolls into a tube dorsal to the notochord.– Other animal phyla have
solid nerve cord, usually located ventrally.
– The nerve cord of the chordate embryo develops into the central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord.
![Page 14: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tail that Extends Beyond the Anus
Most chordates have a muscular tail extending posterior to the anus.– In contrast, nonchordates have a digestive tract
that extends nearly the whole length of the body.– The chordate tail contains skeletal elements and
muscles.– It provides much of the propulsive force in many
aquatic species.
![Page 15: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pharynx
Pharyngeal gill slits connect the pharynx, just posterior to the mouth, to the outside of the animal.– These slits allow water that enters the mouth to exit
without continuing through the entire digestive tract.– In many invertebrate chordates, the pharyngeal gill
slits function as suspension-feeding devices.– The slits and the structures that support them have
become modified for gas exchange (in aquatic vertebrates), jaw support, hearing, and other functions during vertebrate evolution.
![Page 16: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Phylum Chordata
• This phylum can be divided into 3 subphyla:– Cephalochordata• Such as lancelets
– Urochordata• Such as tunicates
– Vertebrata• Such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
![Page 17: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Classification of Phylum Chordata
• The table shows the breakdown of the phylum and it classification• This is also seen on the next slide, but shown differently

Phylum Chordata Subphylum's
![Page 20: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Subphylum Urochordata
• Most urochordates, commonly called tunicates, are sessile marine animals that adhere to rocks, docks, and boats.– Others are planktonic
• Some species are colonial, others solitary
![Page 21: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tunicates
• Tunicates are suspension-feeders.– Seawater passes inside the animal via an incurrent
siphon, through the pharyngeal gill slits, and into a ciliated chamber, the atrium.
– Food filtered from the water is trapped by an mucous net that is passed by cilia into the intestine.
– Filtered water and feces exit through an excurrent siphon.
– The entire animal is encased in a tunic of a cellulose like carbohydrate
![Page 22: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tunicates
![Page 23: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Tunicates• Now from the diagram on
the past slide only 1 of the 4 chordata characteristics are present– The pharyngeal slits
• But as larva the tunicates have all 4 characteristics– Larva swim until they attach
themselves to a surface– At the surface undergo
metamorphosis turning into an adult and lose 3 of the 4 chordata characteristics
Tunicate Larva
![Page 24: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Subphylum Cephalochordata
• Cephalochordates, also known as lancelets, closely resemble the idealized chordate.– The notochord, dorsal nerve cord, numerous gill
slits, and post-anal tail all persist in the adult stage.
– Lancets are just a few centimeters long.– They live with their posterior end buried in the
sand and the anterior end exposed for feeding.
![Page 25: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lancelets
![Page 26: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Lancelets• Lancelets are suspension
feeders, feeding by trapping tiny particles on mucus nets secreted across the pharyngeal slits.– Ciliary pumping creates a flow
of water with suspended food particles into the mouth and out the gill slits.
– In lancets, the pharynx and gill slits are feeding structures and play only a minor role in respiration, which primarily occurs across the external body surface.
![Page 27: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Lancelets• A lancet frequently leaves its burrow to swim to a
new location.• Though feeble swimmers, their swimming
mechanism resembles that of fishes through the coordinated contraction of serial muscle blocks.– Contraction of these chevron-shaped muscles flexes
the notochord and produces lateral undulations that thrust the body forward.
– The muscle segments develop from blocks of mesoderm, called somites, arranged serially along each side of the notochord of the embryo.
![Page 28: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Link Between the Subphylums
• Molecular evidence suggests that the vertebrates’ closest relatives are the cephalochordates, and the urochordates are their next closest relatives.
• The key thing is the organisms of the first two subphylum of the phylum chordata (Cephalochordata and Urochordata) do have notochords, but do not have backbones or vertebral columns– As such these organisms in these subphylums represent
the transition from invertebrates to the chordates, which thus through study can give clues about the origin of the chordates
![Page 29: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Subphylum Vertebrata
• Around 95% of the chordates belong to this subphylum
• Key feature of the subphylum:• All vertebrates have vertebrae (singular
vertebra) that are hollow, cartilaginous, or bony structures that surround and protect the dorsal nerve cord
![Page 30: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Vertebrae in Humans

Other features of Vertebrates
• Other features shared by vertebrates:– Endoskeleton (internal skeleton)– A large brain protected by a skull– An advanced nervous system– Complex heart and circulatory system– Special outer covering– One or two pairs of appendages– A large coelom that houses the vital organs
![Page 32: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Diagram with Timeline for Vertebrate Evolution
• This diagram shows the timeline for vertebrate evolution and the appearance of the classes (note mammals were last to show up)
![Page 33: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• This diagram shows a brief outline of vertebrate evolution and key developments along the way
![Page 34: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cold Blooded vs Warm Blooded
Ectotherms• All vertebrates except birds
and mammals are cold-blooded
• Body temperature and metabolic rate changes with environment– Thus can regulate by
changing environment (e.g. getting to hot get some shade)
Endotherms• Birds and mammals are warm-
blooded organisms• Body temperature and
remains constant regardless of environment
• Able to vary metabolic rate (e.g. bears slow down when hibernate)
• Ability to regulate temperature makes more independent of environment
![Page 35: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Ecological Role of Vertebrates
• Vertebrate are found all over– In the ocean, fresh water lakes and streams; on
the land; and in the air
• They are key ecologically as vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals
![Page 36: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ecological Role of Fish
• Are vital part to many living systems– As consumers help keep
some populations in check
• Also important food source for many animals– Both aquatic and land
animals
![Page 37: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Ecological Role of Amphibians• Play pivotal role in
wetland ecology by preying on insects and eating algae and dead plants that can fill ponds and streams
• Good indicators of environment health
• Source of food for many:– Fish– Birds– Reptiles– Mammals
![Page 38: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Ecological Role of Reptiles
• Important role in environment and agriculture– As predators keep many
pests in check
• Also source of food to other animals
![Page 39: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Ecological Role of Birds
• Help maintain balance in nature– Eat large number of
insects, keeping populations in check
– Predatory birds help keep mice and rats in check
• Also help in pollination and seed dispersal for plants
![Page 40: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Ecological Role of Mammals• Influence and alter
environments in many ways• Some examples:
– Moles aerate soil– Beavers dam up water
flooding areas– Elephants knock down trees
to help maintain grasslands• Some are well known for
transmitting disease• Humans have very
significant role in both positive and negative ways
![Page 41: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cladistics
![Page 42: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Cladistics
• Cladistics is an alternative method used for analyzing and predicting the phylogeny (evolutionary relationship) of organisms– It is based on analysis of shared characteristics
• Since characteristics are always changing cladists (people who study cladistics) must distinguish between recent derived (apomorphic) characteristics and older, primitive (plesiomorphic) characteristics
![Page 43: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Cladistics• Based on the characteristics they work with the cladists
then arrange organisms based on their hypothesized degree of sharing of apomorphic characteristics rather than plesiomorphic characteristics
• Example:– A recently derived feature is the single toe of a horse– The original primitive state of five-digit appendages seen in
monkeys, turtles and crocodiles indicates an ancient, but common ancestor (thus by the fact monkeys and turtles both have 5 digits does not mean a close kinship)
– Thus to a cladist more closely related organisms will share a greater number of unique derived features that were not present in their distant ancestors
![Page 44: Chapter 12 Chordates. Chordates In 1798, scientists from the London Museum of Natural History were gathered around a strange looking beast They examined](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649de55503460f94adca7a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Cladograms• Cladists show their predicted
evolutionary relationships via cladograms
• Cladograms are:– Branching diagrams used to display
the hypothesized relationships• Cladists though now have highly
benefited from genetic data as they can now compare genetic codes for shared genetic codes instead of just outward traits– This has given lots of information
and helped find new and compelling evidence for many phylogenetic relationships
• Example cladogram– Read page 451 as it will take
you through a sample cladogram
