Noncoelomate Invertebrates
Chapter 33
2
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
Scientists generally agree about the taxonomic classification of 36 animal phyla
-They do disagree, however, about how these are interrelated
Traditional reconstructions lump together phyla that share major features of body plan
New reconstructions employ molecular comparisons of rRNA and other genes
3
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
Both old and new phylogenies agree that: -Porifera first separated from Eumetazoa-Among the eumetazoans, Cnidaria and Ctenophora branch out before Bilateria-Bilateria are divided into two groups: protostomes and deuterostomes
Modern phylogeny differs radically from traditional phylogeny in construction of the protostome lineage
4
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
Traditionally, the branches of animals are based on the nature of the body cavity:
-Acoelomates = Have no body cavity
-Pseudocoelomates = Have pseudocoel
-Coelomates = Have coelom
Acoelomates and pseudocoelomates are always protostomes
Coelomates are either protostomes or deuterostomes
5
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
6
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
Modern protostome phylogeny distinguishes between two major clades that have evolved independently:
-Spiralians
-Ecdysozoans
7
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
Spiralians
-Grow by adding mass to an existing body
-Two main groups
-Lophotrochozoa: mostly coelomates
-Include the phyla Brachiopoda, Mollusca and Annelida
-Platyzoa: mostly acoelomates
-Include the phyla Platyhelminthes, and Micrognathozoa
8
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
Ecdysozoans
-Increase in size by molting their external skeletons
-Two phyla have been particularly successful
-Nematoda: pseudocoelomates
-Roundworms
-Arthropoda: coelomates
-Insects, crustaceans, and others
9
Invertebrate Phylogeny Revolution
10
Parazoans lack tissues, organs and a definite symmetry
-However, they have complex multicellularity
Sponges, phylum Porifera, are parazoans
-Include marine and freshwater species
-Larval sponges are free-swimming, but adults are anchored onto submerged objects
Parazoa
11
Adult sponges are shaped like a vase
Parazoa
Walls of the “vase” have three functional layers
12
1. Inner layer = Specialized flagellate cells called choanocytes, or collar cells
2. Central layer = Gelatinous, protein-rich matrix called the mesohyl
3. Outer layer = Protective epithelium
Mesohyl may contain spicules and/or fibers of a tough protein called spongin
-These strengthen the body of the sponge
Parazoa
13
Parazoa
14
Sponges are “filter-feeders”
-Beating of the choanocyte flagella draws water through numerous small pores
-Brings in food and oxygen and expels wastes
-Small organisms are filtered from the water, which flows through passageways
-Eventually exits from the osculum
Parazoa
15
Sponge reproduction
-Asexual = Fragmentation
-Sexual = Egg and sperm
-Larval sponges use cilia for swimming
-Settle down on a substrate
-Transform into adults
Parazoa
16
Eumetazoans are animals with distinct tissues
Embryos have distinct layers
-Inner endoderm = Forms the gastrodermis
-Outer ectoderm = Forms the epidermis and nervous system
-Middle mesoderm (Only in bilateral animals)
-Forms the muscles
Eumetazoa
17
Eumetazoans also evolved true body symmetry
-Radiata = Exhibit radial symmetry
-Phylum Cnidaria
-Phylum = Ctenophora
-Bilateria = Exhibit radial symmetry
-All other animals
Eumetazoa
18
Cnidarians are nearly all marine
-Bodies have distinct tissues but no organs
Cnidarians are diploblastic
-Ectoderm (epidermis) and endoderm (gastrodermis)
-In between, a layer of gelatinous material (mesoglea)
Phylum Cnidaria
19
Cnidarians are carnivores
They have two basic body forms
-Polyps = Cylindrical and sessile
-Medusae = Umbrella-shaped and free-living
Phylum Cnidaria
20
Phylum Cnidaria
21
Some cnidarians exist as either medusae or polyps, while others alternate between the two phases
Polyps may reproduce sexually or asexually-Asexual reproduction occurs by budding and may produce a new polyp or medusae
Medusae reproduce sexually-Form free-swimming larvae called planulae
Phylum Cnidaria
22
23
Cnidarians have internal extracellular digestion
-Digestion begins with extracellular fragmentation in the gastrovascular cavity
-This is followed by phagocytosis and intracellular digestion
Cnidarians have no circulatory, respiratory or excretory systems
Phylum Cnidaria
24
Cnidarians have unique specialized cells on their epidermis called cnidocytes
The nematocyst is a special type of cnidocyte
-Contains a small but powerful harpoon
-Used for food acquisition and defense
Phylum Cnidaria
25
Phylum Cnidaria
26
Hydrozoa (hydroids)
Four Classes of Cnidarians
Scyphozoa (jellyfish)
Cubozoa (box jellyfish) Anthozoa (corals and sea anemones)
27
A small phylum whose members are known as comb jellies, sea walnuts or sea gooseberries
Phylum Ctenophora
Structurally more complex than cnidarians
Capture prey with a colloblast
-Contains strong adhesive material
28
Ctenophores propel themselves through water with eight rows of fused cilia
They are triploblastic
-Have true muscles cells derived from the mesoderm
Their mode of symmetry is not strictly radial as in cnidarians
Phylum Ctenophora
29
The Bilateria are characterized by bilateral symmetry-Allowed for high levels of specialization
Bilaterians are traditionally classified by the condition of their coelom-Acoelomates-Pseudoceolomates-Coelomates
The Bilaterian Acoelomates
30
The flatworms are soft-bodied animals
-Many species are parasitic
-Others are free-living
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Move by ciliated epithelial cells
Have developed musculature
31
Flatworms have an incomplete digestive cavity with only one opening
-Therefore, they cannot feed continuously
Muscular contractions in the pharynx allows food to be ingested and torn into small bits
Tapeworms (parasitic flatworms) lack digestive systems
-Absorb food directly through body walls
Phylum Platyhelminthes
32
Flatworms have an excretory and osmoregulatory system
-Network of fine tubules runs through body
-Flame cells located on the side branches
-Primary function = water balance
-Secondary function = excretion
Metabolic wastes are excreted into the gut and eliminated through the mouth
Phylum Platyhelminthes
33
Flatworms lack a circulatory system
-Flattened body shape and highly-branched gut utilize diffusion
They have a simple nervous system
-Eyespot can distinguish light from dark
Most are hermaphroditic
-Undergo sexual reproduction
-Also have capacity for asexual regeneration
Phylum Platyhelminthes
34
Phylum Platyhelminthes
35
Phylum Platyhelminthes
36
Flatworms have been traditionally grouped into four major classes
-Turbellaria
-Monogenea
-Trematoda
-Cestoda
Phylum Platyhelminthes
New studies group all three parasitic classes into a single group, Neodermata
Free-living
Parasitic
37
Class Turbellaria
-Free-living flatworms
-Recently shown to be polyphyletic
-Found in freshwater, marine and even terrestrial environments
Phylum Platyhelminthes
38
Classes Monogenea and Trematoda
-Flukes
-Live as ectoparasites or endo-parasites in the bodies of other animals
-Attach by suckers, anchors or hooks
-Most have a life cycle that involves two or more hosts
Phylum Platyhelminthes
39
Clonorchis sinensis: Oriental liver fluke
-Complex life cycle
-Miracidium – Ciliated stage in egg
-Rediae – Nonciliated larvae produced within sporocyst
-Cercaria – Tadpole-like larval stage
-Metacercaria – Adult stage produced within cysts
Phylum Platyhelminthes
40
41
Other important flukes are the blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma
-Three species cause the disease schistosomiasis, or bilharzia
-Worms coat themselves with host’s own antigens
-Thus, are immunologically invisible
Phylum Platyhelminthes
42
Class Cestoda
-Tapeworms
-Live as parasites within the bodies of other animals
Phylum Platyhelminthes
-Most species occur in the intestines of vertebrates
43
Class Cestoda
-Long flat bodies divided into three zones
-Scolex = Attachment organ
-Neck = Unsegmented portion
-Proglottids = Repetitive sections
-Each a complex hermaphroditic unit
-Taenia saginata is the beef tapeworm
Phylum Platyhelminthes
44
Phylum Platyhelminthes
45
Acoel flatworms were once considered basal members of the phylum Platyhelminthes
-Have a primitive nervous system and lack a digestive cavity
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Are now classified in their own phyla, Acoela
46
Nemerteans are often called ribbon worms or proboscis worms
Phylum Nemertea
Are long animals that can stretch to several meters
47
Phylum Nemertea
Nemerteans possess a fluid-filled sac, the rhynchocoel: a true coelomic cavity
Are the simplest animals with a complete digestive system (mouth and anus)
Have a closed circulatory system
They are not related to flatworms-Are now classified with other coelomate protostomes in the Lophotrochozoa
48
Discovered in 1995
Acoelomates that live on the mouthparts of claw lobsters
Have unique anatomy and form of sexual reproduction
Phylum Cycliophora
49
Possess a pseudocoel, which is a cavity between the mesoderm and endoderm
-Serves as a hydrostatic skeleton, against which the animal’s muscles can work
Pseudocoelomates lack a defined circulatory system-Role is performed by fluids that move within the pseudocoel
The Pseudocoelomates
50
Nematodes are roundworms comprising many species-Found in marine, freshwater and soil habitats
Are bilaterally symmetrical and unsegmented
Phylum Nematoda
51
Phylum Nematoda
Nematodes are covered with a flexible, thick cuticle
Are ecdysozoans
-Molt cuticle four times
Lack specialized respiratory organs and exchange oxygen through their cuticles
52
Phylum Nematoda
Mouth is equipped with piercing organs called stylets
Food passes through the mouth by the sucking action of the pharynx
Undigested material is eliminated through the anus
53
Phylum Nematoda
54
Phylum Nematoda
Nematodes usually reproduce sexually
-Sexes are separate
Adults of some species exhibit eutely
-Have a fixed number of cells
-Caenorhabditis elegans has only 959 cells
55
Phylum Nematoda
Many nematodes are active hunters, preying on protists and other small animals
Others are parasites of plants
Still others live within the bodies of larger animals
56
Phylum Nematoda
Nematodes can cause diseases in humans
-Trichinella causes trichinosis
-Forms cysts in muscles
-Ascaris lumbricoides – Intestinal roundworm
57
Phylum Rotifera
Rotifers are bilaterally symmetrical unsegmented pseudocoelomates
-They have complex internal organs
They propel themselves through water by rapidly beating thick cilia at their heads
-“Wheel animals”
They gather food via a conspicuous organ called the corona
58
