What Am I? • Of some 1.5 million species of organisms known to science • Over two-thirds are animals • Humans have a long history of studying animal diversity • But classifying an animal isn’t always easy
Imagine you were the first person to encounter the animal pictured here • With all of its varying characteristics, what would you think it is?
A Tasmanian tiger, 1928 • Biologists often encounter classification problems • When evolution creates organisms with similar characteristics
Figure 18.1A What is an animal? • Animals are eukaryotic, multicellular heterotrophs • That ingest their food ANIMAL EVOLUTION AND DIVERSITY
Animal development • May include a blastula, gastrula, and larval stage Key Haploid (n) Diploid (2n) Sperm 2 1 Egg Meiosis Zygote(fertilized egg) 3 Eight-cell stage Adult 8 Metamorphosis 4 Blastula(cross section) Digestive tract Ectoderm 5 Larva 7 Early gastrula(cross section) 6 Endoderm Futuremesoderm Figure 18.1B Internal sac Later gastrula(cross section)
The ancestor of animals was probably a colonial, flagellated protist • Cells in these protists • Gradually became more specialized and layered Somaticcells Digestive cavity Reproductivecells 2Hollow sphere of unspecialized cells (shown in cross section) 3Beginning of cell specialization (cross section) 4Infolding (cross section) 1Colonial protist, an aggregate of identical cells 5Gastrula-like “proto-animal” (cross section) Figure 18.2A
Figure 18.2B • Animal diversity exploded during the Cambrian period
Top Dorsal surface Anterior end Posterior end Ventral surface Bottom Figure 18.3A Animals can be characterized by basic features of their “body plan” • Animal body plans may vary in symmetry
Tissue-filled region (from mesoderm) Body covering (from ectoderm) Digestive tract (from endoderm) Body covering (from ectoderm) Muscle layer (from mesoderm) Digestive tract (from endoderm) Pseudocoelom Body covering (from ectoderm) Coelom Tissue layer lining coelomand suspendinginternal organs(from mesoderm) Digestive tract(from endoderm) • Vary in body cavity Figure 18.3B–D
Development as either protostomes or deuterostomes • Together these animals show bilateral symmetry and three germ layers • Distinction between each is found in embryonic development
Molluscs Annelids Sponges Flatworms Chordates Arthropods Cnidarians Nematodes Echinoderms Deuterostomes Protostomes Bilaterians Radial symmetry Bilateral symmetry Eumetazoans No true tissues True tissues Figure 18.4 Ancestral colonial protist The body plans of animals can be used to build phylogenetic trees • One hypothesis of animal phylogeny is based on morphological comparisons
Figure 18.5A–C Sponges have a relatively simple, porous body • Sponges, phylum Porifera • Are the simplest animals and have no true tissues INVERTEBRATES
Pores Choanocyte Amoebocyte Waterflow Skeletalfiber Centralcavity Flagella Choanocytein contactwith anamoebocyte Figure 18.5D • Flagellated choanocytes • Filter food from the water passing through the porous body
Cnidarians are radial animals with tentacles and stinging cells • Cnidarians, phylum Cnidaria • Have true tissues and radial symmetry
Figure 18.6A–C • Their two body forms are • Polyps, such as hydra • Medusae, the jellies
Capsule(nematocyst) Coiledthread Tentacle “Trigger” Dischargeof thread Prey Cnidocyte Figure 18.6D • They have a gastrovascular cavity • And cnidocytes on tentacles that sting prey
Flatworms are the simplest bilateral animals • Flatworms, phylum Platyhelminthes • Are bilateral animals with no body cavity
Gastrovascularcavity Nerve cords Mouth Eyespots Nervoustissueclusters Figure 18.7A Bilateral symmetry • A planarian has a gastrovascular cavity • And a simple nervous system Planaria
Units withreproductivestructures Scolex(anteriorend) HooksSucker Colorized SEM 80 • Flukes and tapeworms • Are parasitic flatworms with complex life cycles Figure 18.7B
Nematodes have a pseudocoelom and a complete digestive tract • Nematodes, phylum Nematoda • Have a pseudocoelom and a complete digestive tract • Are covered by a protective cuticle
Muscle tissue Trichinella juvenile Mouth Colorized SEM 400 LM 350 Figure18.8A, B • Many nematodes are free-living • And others are plant or animal parasites
Visceral mass Reproductive organs Coelom Heart Kidney Digestive tract Mantle Shell Digestive tract Mantle cavity Radula Radula Anus Mouth Gill Mouth Foot Nerve cords Figure 18.9A Diverse molluscs are variations on a common body plan • All molluscs have a muscular foot and a mantle • Which may secrete a shell that encloses the visceral mass • Many mollusks • Feed with a rasping radula
Figure 18.9B, C • Gastropods • Gastropods are the largest group of molluscs • And include the snails and slugs
Figure 18.9D • Bivalves • The bivalves have shells divided into two halves • And include clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops
Figure 18.9E, F • Cephalopods • Cephalopods are adapted to be agile predators • And include squids, cuttlefish and octopuses
Annelids are segmented worms • The segmented bodies of phylum Annelida • Give them added mobility for swimming and burrowing

Figure 18.10B, C • Polychaetes • Form the largest group of annelids • Search for prey on the seafloor or live in tubes and filter food particles
Figurer 18.10D • Leeches • Most leeches • Are free-living carnivores, but some suck blood
Cephalothorax Abdomen Thorax Antennae (sensory reception) Head Swimming appendages Walking legs Figure 18.11A Mouthparts (feeding) Pincer (defense) Arthropods are segmented animals with jointed appendages and an exoskeleton • The diversity and success of arthropods is largely related to their segmentation, exoskeleton, and jointed appendages

Insects are the most diverse group of organisms • Insects have a three-part body consisting of • Head, thorax, and abdomen • Three sets of legs • Wings (most, but not all insects)

Our own phylum, Chordata, is distinguished by four features:
Excurrent siphon Post-anal tail Dorsal, hollow nerve cord Head Pharyngeal slits Notochord Mouth Mouth Muscle segments Pharynx Dorsal, hollow nerve cord Pharyngeal slits Notochord Digestive tract Water exit Post-anal tail Adult (about 3 cm high) Larva Segmental muscles Anus Figure 18.14A, B • The simplest chordates are tunicates and lancelets • Marine invertebrates that use their pharyngeal slits for suspension feeding
