4 features of a chordate

1. Dorsal hollow nerve cord


2. Notochord


3. Postanal tail


4. Pharyngeal gill pouches

Urochordata- animal examples

Tunicates; sea squirts

Urochordata- larvae and adult

Larvae motile; sessile filter-feeding adults

Urochordata- where found

Marine (rocky, intertidal)

Walter Garstang's Hypothesis (1928) (disproved mufuka)

-Ancient tunicate-like larvae failed to metamorphose into sessile adult and retained juvenile characteristics


-Vertebrates evolved from this ancestral paedomorphic dude


-Molecular evidence does not support this

Cephalochordata; example; where found; sessile or motile adults?

Lancelets; coastal sandy bottoms; motile

Cephalochordata- incorrect name that stuck through time

Amphioxus

Vertebrates share common ancestry with urochordates or cephalochordates?

Cephalochordates

Axial skeleton

Cranium, vertebral column, ribs, sternum

Appendicular skeleton

Everything else not associated with girdles

Subphylum: Vertebrata. Vertebral column made of:

Bone or cartilage

Notocord

Most lose notochord after embryogenesis; most ancient retain notochord

"Fishes"

Homocercal; some ancient taxa with a heterocercal tail

Are scales of reptiles and actinopterygii homologous?

No, analagous

Family of sturgeon?

Bony but lack lepidotrichia


operculum present

2 groups of Sarcopterygii?

Coelocanths, Lungfishes (branchial and pulmonary respiration, lungs homologous with tetrapods)

lineage of sarcopterygii considered to be ancestral to tetrapods?
