Echinoderma
"spiny-skin"



synapomorphy:


-pentaradial symmetry (5 fold) around central disk, oohed, juveniles have bilateral symmetry

DIVERSE




synapomorphies:


-notochord


-dorsal hollow nerve cord


-pharyngeal slits/pouches


-endostyle or thyroid gland


-muscular, post-anal tail

vertebra
synapomorphy:

-vertebrae


-bone and cartilage


-myoglobin (protein)


-pineal gland

Cyclostomata
Jawless fish
Myxini
Hagfishes(myxa=slime)
Hagfishes

(myxa=slime)

Petromyzontida
Lampreys(petros=stone, myzon=sucking)
Lampreys

(petros=stone, myzon=sucking)

Chondrihthyes
Cartilaginous Fishes
Elasmobranchii
Sharks and Rays
Sharks and Rays
Holocephali
Chimaeras
Chimaeras
Osteichthyes
Bony Fishes and Tetrapods
Actinopterygii
Ray-Finned Fishes
Ray-Finned Fishes



synapomorphies:


-operculum = protects gills


-air sac = controls


buoyancy




diverse in size, scales



Teleosts
Modern Bony Fishes
Sarcopterygii
Lobe-Finned Fishes
Lobe-Finned Fishes/"Fleshy Fin"



synapomorphies:


-operculum = protects lungs


-air sac = control


buoyancy


-internal limb bones



Two clades of Sarcopterygii:
-Actinistia (coelacanth)

-Choanata (lungfish and terrestrial vertebrates)

Actinistia
"web of rays", coelacanths, thought to be extinct, three-lobed tail
Choanata
"internal nostril" in mouth
Dipnoi
"double breath", lungfish, have lungs and gills



estivation: reduced metabolism, allows dipnoi to survive harsh conditions

Tetrapoda
"four feet" terrestrial vertebrates

Amphibia and Amniota (reptiles and mammals)




Synapomorphies


-fingers and toes (exaptation)


-double blood circulation (3 chambered heart)

Challenges going from water to land:
-respiration: gills > lungs, internal nostrils

-support and movement: stronger limbs


-fluid density: must overcome drag/gravity


-senses: origin of ear/hearing


-water retention/ waste management


-reproduction: internal/external fertilization

Amphibia
"double life"



synapomorphies:


-smooth skin with glands





includes:


-caecilians


-salamanders


-frogs and toads

Apoda
Caecilians
"no feet"

Caecilians




burrowers




internal fertilization,


viviparous

Urodela
Salamanders
"conspicuous tail"

Salamanders




internal fertilization

Anura
Frogs and Toads
"no tail"

Frogs and Toads




most use external


fertilization

exaptation
a pre-existing feature that is co-opted for a new function



-fleshy fin originally an adaptation for swimming, later an exaptation for walking on land




-swim bladder (air-filled cavity) later evolved into lungs for terrestrial breathing

oviparous
egg laying
viviparous
live birth
Amniota
"amnion bearing"



distinguished based on temporal openings (windows on sides of skull)




synapomorphies:


-internal fertilization


-kidneys and intestine modified for water


retention


-rid cage ventilation



anapsid skull
no windows
turtles
no windows


turtles



diapsid skull
two windows
lizards, crocs, dinos
two windows



lizards, crocs, dinos





synapsid skull
one window
mammals
one window



mammals

amniotic egg
major function is protection (from drying)



amnion: fluid filled sac that cushions the embryo allantois: a sac in which metabolic waste is stored chorion: gas exchange between air and embryo yolk sac: protection, allows some gas exchange

How does the circulation of blood differ between amniotes and amphibians?
Amphibians and amniotes both have a double circulation of blood (one circuit to the longs and one to the rest of the body).

-amphibian hearts have three chambers


-many amniote hearts have four chambers

regulator
internal mechanisms control body temperature

(mammals, humans)

conformers
conform to the temperature of their environment/external factors

synapomorphy


-scales

Reptilia are
-amniote: have an amnion during the embryonic stage
