  1. Animal Systematics

  2. Systematics • The study of biological diversity and classification • classification of living organisms by evolutionary relationship

  3. Classification • Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) • Swedish naturalist • Developed the modern taxonomic classification system

  4. Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Animalia Chordata Mammalia Primates Hominidae Gorilla Gorilla gorilla Linnean System of Classification

  5. Division Kingdom Phylum Subphylum Superclass Class Subclass Infraclass Order Superfamily Family Subfamily Genus Species Subspecies Eukarya Animalia Chordata Vertebrata Tetrapoda Mammalia Theria Eutheria Primates Anthropoidea Hominidae Ponginae Gorilla Gorilla gorilla Gorilla gorilla beringei Revised Linnean System

  6. Binomial Nomenclature • Genus + species • Examples: • Rana catesbeiana: bull frog • Turdus migratorius: American robin • Homo sapiens: modern human • Mucosa domestica: house fly • Subspecies sometimes included • Gorilla gorilla beringei: mountain gorilla

  7. What is an Animal • Eucaryotic • cells divided into organelles • Multicellular • Heterotrophic • do not produce own nutrients • Lack cell walls • Tissues linked by proteins (e.g. collagen)

  8. What is an Animal • Cells often linked by cell junctions • gap, adhesion, tight • Possess electrogenic cells • nerve cells and muscle cells • Reproduce sexually (diploid) • sperm + egg → zygote → blastula → gastrula → larva → adult

  9. Major Evolutionary Divergences Among Animals • Development of Tissues • Development of Body Plans • Development of Body Cavities • Developmental Origin of the Coelom

  10. Development of Tissues • Development of aggregations of similar cells into patterns and layers • Parazoa (sponges) – lack tissues • Eumetazoa – possess tissues

  11. Development of Body Plans • Pattern of body and structure • Number of embryonic cell layers • Radiata (e.g. jellyfish, hydra) • radial symmetry • diploblastic (2 germ cell layers) • Bilatera (everything else) • Blateral symmetry • Triploblastic (3 germ cell layers)

  12. Development of Body Cavities • Acoleomates (flatworms) • no body cavities • Pseudocoelomates (rotifers, roundworms) • body cavity not surrounded by mesoderm (pseudocoelom) • Coleomates (everything else) • body cavity enclosed by mesoderm (coelom)

  13. Developmental Origin of the Coelom • Coelomates are divided into two gorups based upon: • Pattern of cell cleavage during early development • When cell developmental fate is determined • How the coelom is formed • How the digestive tract is formed during gastrulation

  14. Protostomes • Mollusks, earthworms, insects, etc. • Spiral cleavage • cell division diagonal to vertical axis • Determinant cleavage • development into tissues determined very early in cleavage • Schizocoelous • coelom forms by splitting solid masses of mesoderm in • Blastopore forms mouth

  15. Deuterostomes • Starfish, vertebrates • radial cleavage • cell division at right angles to vertical axis • indeterminant cleavage • development into tissues determined later in cleavage • enterocoelous • coelom forms by mesoderm layer budding from archenteron • blastopore forms anus

  16. Parazoa:Phylum Porifera • sponges • little cell differentiation • sessile • no nerve or muscle cells • porous body • enables water circulation through the body • flow driven by choanocytes • food collected and digested by amoebocytes

  17. Radiata:Phylum Cnidaria • Corals, jellyfish, anemones, corals • gastrovascular cavity • central compartment with single opening • two basic body plans: • polyp – usually sessile • medusa – motile form

  18. Radiata:Phylum Cnidaria • tentacles arranged around opening to the gastrovascular cavity • lined with nematocysts • stinging cells • possess nerve cells forming nerve net • no central nervous system • possess muscle-like cells

  24. Protostome Coelomates:Phylum Nemertea • Proboscis worms • acoelomous body, except for fluid-filled sac used to extend proboscis • similar excretory, sensory and nervous systems to flatworms • complete digestive tract • closed circulatory system (blood confined to vessels)
