Phylum Arthropoda • Read Chap 31 pgs. 681-703 • Dichotomous Key
Whatis Entomology? The study of insects (and their near relatives).
Species Diversity PLANTS INSECTS OTHER ANIMALS OTHER ARTHROPODS
Arthropods Jointed-legged invertebrates
CLASSIFICATION • (LEARN EXAMPLES OF EACH CLASS) • SUB- Trilobita Crustacea Chelicerata Uniramia • PHYLUM • CLASS extinct Crustacea Arachnida Chilopoda • Diplopoda • Insecta • ORDER 16
Characteristics of Phylum Arthropoda • - Segmented bodies are arranged into regions, called tagmata (in insects = head, thorax, abdomen). • - Paired appendages (e.g., legs, antennae, wings) are jointed. • - Possess chitinous exoskeleton that must be shed during growth. • Open circulatory system • Nervous system is ventral (belly) and the circulatory system is open and dorsal (back). • Complete digestive system Head Thorax Abdomen
Exoskeleton • Major reason for success! • Provides • Support • Protection • Prevention of dehydration • Sites for muscle attachment
Metamorphosis • Change body form from immature (larval) stages to adult forms • Reduces competition between stages for • Food • Living space
Taxonomy of Arthropods • 4 subphyla • Trilobitomorpha (all extinct) • Chelicerata • Crustacea • Uniramia The state fossil of Ohio
Subphylum Chelicerata (plier like) • Horseshoe crabs • Spiders • Mites • Ticks • Scorpions
Scorpion Head chelicerae eyes pedipalp
Orders of Arachnids Pseudoscorpion Tick (a mite) Scorpion Wolf Spider Daddy-long-legs
Mite and Tick Body Regions pedipalps & chelicerae cephalothorax abdomen
Common ticks American dog tick male -Vectors Rocky mountain spotted fever Blacklegged (deer) tick female - Vectors Lyme disease
Mites Clover mites Twospotted spider mites Velvet mite Predatory mite
Phalanges (daddy-long-legs) cephalothorax abdomen
Spider Anatomy pedipalp chelicera (fang) cephalothorax narrow waist abdomen

Wolf spider with egg case Spitting spider Orbweaving spider Tarantula
Dangerous Spiders Black widow with egg case Brown recluse (fiddleback)
Interesting modifications • Spinnerets • Malpighian tubules
Subphylum Crustacea • Shrimp, lobsters, crayfish • Fairy shrimp, brine shrimp • Water fleas • Barnacles
Crustaceans Crayfish cephalothorax (Decapoda) Sow bug (Isopoda), a terrestrial crustacean
CLASS CRUSTACEA tremendous variety • daphnia, crabs, lobster, pill bugs, crayfish • *primarily aquatic, mostly marine 25,000 species • (motile sessile microscopic, 2 ft. or more) • *gills, at least 5 pairs of legs • *carapace- shield to protect vital organs • * branched antennae • see lab for specifics of this group
Subphylum Uniramia • Class Diplopoda (millipedes) • Class Chilopoda (centipedes) • Class Hexapoda (insects)
[one pair of antennae, head & trunk regions, trunk with many pairs of legs] Diplopod (Millipede) Two pair of legs per visible segment, attached under body. Chilopod (Centipede) Pair of fangs under head, one pair legs per visible segment - attached to side of body. Symphyla (Symphyla)[garden centipede] No fangs, no eyes, legs attached to side of body.
Millipede (Diplopoda) Centipede (Chilopoda) Garden centipede (Symphyla)
Nervous System • Johnston’s organs (hearing - on antennae) • Tympanic organs (hearing – on legs or body) • Compound eyes (facets – ommatidia – fused) • Simple eyes (ocelli)
Economic Impact of Arthropods 1. Name two effects of each major group has on mankind (good and bad). Crustacea, Millipede, Centipede, Arachnida 2. For insects, list 4 good things that they do and 4 bad things that they are responsible for.
Insects Head Thorax Abdomen
How Many Kinds Insects are there in the world? Possibly 3,000,000 unidentified species • 1,000,000 species known
Classification of Japanese Beetle • Kingdom Animalia • Phylum Arthropoda • Class Insecta • Order Coleoptera • Family Scarabaeidae • Genus Popillia • Species japonica
*molting "ecdysiast"- • hormone induced changes to create new and larger exoskeleton • desiccation potential • "instars" periods between molts • vulnerable while exchanging skeleton • may continue throughout life or end at a particular point
DIGESTION • foregut • ingestion, mechanical breakdown and storage • midgut • chemical digestion, absorption, enzymatic, • (sounds like our intestines) • hindgut • absorption of water and formation of feces
RESPIRATION (handout in binder ) Open Circulatory System- blood not confined to the vessels • Pericardial sinus- space for gas exchange around the heart (open space) • Gases into the body through the spiracles in the exoskeleton (waxy) • Trachae- tubes from spiracles to vital locations • ***blood is not vital for gas exchange*** rare to find hemoglobin • Tracheoles- branches with membranes at the end fluid tipped perhaps
other possible modifications • *book lungs- look like corrugated cardboard • *coordination between opening and closing of spiracles to pump the air in (think of a tire pump) • *air sacs at the end of the tracheoles for increased surface area • *gills
BEHAVIOR IN THE PHYLUM ARTHROPODA • (insects mostly) video Swarming Hordes • Communication • Chemical, visual, and auditory
Communication *chemical Pheromones- airborne chemicals are used by males can find females for mating purposes • 1) releasers- immediate behavior change • 2) primers- profound physiological changes Bug’s Life
humans have exploited this with bug traps (June bugs) • Scent trails can be left on the ground during food foraging trips (A BUG’S Life video) • plants mimic scents to attract pollinators • death pheromones- remove ant from a colony and paint with the chemical, return to colony and is repeatedly carried away. • 0.00000001 grams silkworm female can be detected 2 miles
Communication • *visual- • can see ultraviolet wavelengths of light • Fireflies use light to attract mates Males are in the air while females remain on the ground
Communication • *Sound • production in grasshoppers, crickets and cicadas • scraping of limbs on the exoskeleton, air vibrations along the exoskeleton caused by muscle movement
Mimicry • visual, camouflage (hide or lie in ambush) • SOUNDS CAN ALSO BE MIMICED • (faked you out!) • Now you’re dinner!
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR requires communication • A colony can have the same effect as a large single animal • Hey, hey, hey do what I tell you
Division of Labor • ex. bee hive • 80,000 members • polymorphic anatomy • Drone Worker Queen
What a life? • worker 6 wk. life, sterile female, reproductive organs become stinger, 1,000 s • drone- (n) reproductive male, only for mating, 100s, die after mating, killed if food is low • queen bee- reproductive female, 5-6 year life
