Invertebrates: Phylogenetic Tree

The document delves into various phyla within the animal kingdom, focusing on their distinct characteristics and classifications. Porifera, known for their lack of true tissues and unique feeding mechanisms, are highlighted alongside Hexactinellida, which possess intricate siliceous skeletons.

Invertebrates: Phylogenetic Tree

Animalia

Chordata

-Classified as invertebrates and vertebrates -Chordate invertebrates: lancelets and tunicates
Leptocardii

-Have a translucent, fish-like body -Have no true skeleton

Echinodermata

-Bilaterally symmetric as larvae -Use internal canals to move
Asteroidea

-They undergo regeneration -They usually have five segments (legs)

Echinoidea

-They are round in shape -They are covered in spikes

Arthropoda

-Have a segmented exoskeleton -Have jointed appendages
Arachnida

-Have no antennae or wings -They are carnivorous

Malacostraca

-The head has two antennae -Some are hermaphroditic

Nematoda

-Parasitize plants and animals -Covered in a touch cuticle on the body
Chromadorea

-Have a more sophisticated pharynx -Have three esophageal glands

Annelida

-Have segmented bodies -Includes both land and marine worms
Polychaeta

-Live in some of the coldest and hottest temperatures -The head projects over the mouth and contains antennae

Mollusca

-Have a soft body -Have a hard shell used for protection
Gastropoda

-They live almost everywhere (wetlands, forests, rivers, etc.) -Have shells (snails) or no shells (slugs)

Bivalvia

-Some attach to surfaces, while some bury themselves underground -Most have two hinged shells

Brachiopoda

-Live from 3 to more than 30 years -Only live in the sea
Lingulata

-Have tongue-shaped shells -The shell is composed of chitin, protein, and calcium phosphate

Rotifera

-Have organ systems -Feed on microorganisms suspended in water
Eurotatoria

-Have jaws in the pharynx -Have a digestive tube

Platyhelminthes

-Bilaterally Symmetric -No organs or body cavity
Rhabditophora

-Have no digestive tract -Unsegmented acoelomates

Cnidaria

-Radially Symmetrical -Have a gastrovascular cavity
Anthozoa

-Do not have a "medusa" stage in development -Can reproduce sexually and asexually

Scyphozoa

-Have four part symmetry -Have an internal material called mesoglea, which gives it structure (much like a skeleton)

Porifera

-Lack true tissues -Suspension feeders
Hexactinellida

-Have a skeleton made of four or six pointed siliceous spikes -Believed to live anywhere from 15,000 to 23,000 years
