  1. Introduction to Animal Evolution Fred Searcy, Jr. Broward Community College

  2. Metazoans • Includes 22 phyla, including Chordates • Multicellular creatures • Significantly different from unicellular and colonial protozoans

  3. Protozoa vs. Metazoa UnicellularMulticellular little or no relationships specialization of between cells cells to form tissues, organs, systems motile, few sessile motile & sessile autotrophic & heterotrophic heterotrophic single sex cells, no embryo sex cells multicellular, embryo formed

  4. Symmetry in Metazoans • Radial • more adaptive to sessile organisms for feeding • Bilateral • allows head-tail organization and thus locomotion • more suited to free-swimming organisms

  5. Metamerism • Segmentation in bilateral organisms has arisen two separate places in the animal kingdom • annelid worms • chordates

  6. Body Cavities in Metazoans • Fluid-filled cavity between body wall and internal organs • Functions: • hydrostatic skeleton • circulatory medium • space to accumulate excess fluids • site for maturation of sperm and/or eggs • increases surface area of organs

  7. Body Cavities continued • Some have no body cavity; instead filled with an aggregation of cells called mesenchyme • Two cavity types • pseudocoelomate (from a persistent blastocoel) • coelomate (formed from mesoderm while in embryo) • Mesoderm forms lining for all internal organs called the peritoneum • Where it supports organs, called mesentery

  8. Metazoan Organ Systems • Differentiation of cells to from tissues, organs, and systems • example is excretion • filtration • secretion • selective reabsorption

  9. Metazoan Embryology • Metazoans divided into two major groups based on embryology • Protostomia • Deuterostomia • Based on • egg types • determinate vs. indeterminate cleavage • spiral vs radial cleavage • mesoderm and coelom formation

  10. Egg Types • There are three types of eggs based on yolk distribution isolecithal centrolecithal telolecithal

  11. Determinate vs Indeterminate Cleavage • As zygote undergoes mitosis, goes from single cell, to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. • At what time does a cell cease being an entity and become specialized, i.e. blood cell? • Embryonic fate determined late in deuterostomes, early in protostomes • break a 4-cell stage of starfish apart, get 4 identical starfish • break 4-cell stage apart in flatworm, get 4 quarters of an animal

  12. Spiral vs Radial Cleavage • Deuterostomes undergo radial cleavage • blastopore become anus • Protostomes undergo spiral cleavage • blastopore becomes mouth

  13. Embryology in an Isolecithal Egg 2-cell stage Unfertilized egg Fertilized egg 4-cell stage 16-cell stage Morula (32) Morula (64) blastocoel 8-cell stage blastocoel invagination Archenteron & blastopore Early gastrulation

  14. Embryology in A Telolecithal Egg Epiboly & involution

  15. Embryology in A Telolecithal Egg

  16. Mesoderm and Coelom Origin • Protostomes - mesoderm arises from a single cell • mesodermic masses form and split to form a pocket • called schizocoely • Deuterostomes - meoderm formed from puckering of endodermal tissue • called enterocoelic pouching

  17. Schizocoely

  18. Schizocoely continued

  19. Schizocoely

  20. Enterocoely

  21. Enterocoely

  22. Body Cavity Forms • Acoelomate - no body cavity

  23. Body Cavity Forms • Pseudocoelomate - from a persistent blastocoel

  24. Body Cavity Forms • Coelomate - true body cavity

  25. Synopsis of Metazoan Phyla • Parazoa - metazoans with poorly defined tissues, no organs present [Phylum Porifera (10,000) Sponges] • Eumetozoa - metazoans with organs, mouth, digestive cavity • Radiates • Phylum Cnidaria (8,900) jellyfish, anemones, corals • Phylum Ctenophora (90) comb jellies • Bilateria

  26. Synopsis continued • Bilateria • Acoelomates • Phylum Platyhelminthes (12,700) flatworms, flukes • Phylum Mesozoa (50) marine parasites • Phylum Rhyncocoela (650) nemerteans • Phylum Gnathostomulida (80) acoeolmate worms • Pseudocoelomates • Phylum Rotifera (1,500) rotifers • Phylum Gastrotricha (400) gastrotrichs • Phylum Nematoda (10,000) roundworms

  27. Synopsis continued • Pseudocoelomates continued • Phylum Nematomorpha (230) hairworms • Phylum Acanthocelphala (500) endoparasites • Schizocoelomates • Phylum Priapulida (8) • Phylum Sipunculida (250) marine worms • Phylum Mollusca (80,000) mussels, clams • Phylum Echiurida (60) • Phylum Annelida (8,700) segmented worms • Phylum Pogonophora (80) • Phylum Tardigrada (180) water bears

  28. Synopsis continued • Schizocoelomates continued • Phylum Onychophora (65) • Phylum Arthropoda (923,000) insects, crayfish • Phylum Pentastomida (70) • Phylum Phoronida (15) • Phylum Bryozoa (4,000) • Phylum Entoprocta (60) • Phylum Branchiopoda (260) • Deuterostomes • Phylum Chaetognatha (50) • Phylum Echinodermata (5,300) starfish

  29. Synopsis continued • Deuterostomes • Phylum Hemichordata (80) • Phylum Chordata (39,000) • Phylum Urochordata (1,600)
