Chapter 28
Invertebrate Evolution
• Animals are multicellular eukaryotes that are heterotrophs which ingest whole food and digest it internally
• They are diploid and begin life as fertilized diploid eggs
• Animals are monophyetic and both invertebrates and vertebrates come from the same ancestor
• Colonial flagellate hypothesis states that animals are descended from an ancestor resembling a hollow spherical colony of flagellated cells
• This hypothesis suggests that radial symmetry preceded bilateral symmetry
• In a radial symmetrical animal, any longitudinal cut produces two identical halves
• In a bilaterally symmetrical animal, only one longitudinal cut yields two identical halves

• Molecular data says the protists choanoflagellates are the closest living relatives to animals
• All of the different animal body plans were present by the Cambrian period
• As an animal develops, there are many possibilities reguarding the number, position, size, and patterns of its body parts
• Small shifts in Hox (homeotic) genes are responsible for major differences between animals that arise during development
• No adequate fossil record to trace early evolution of animals
• Phylogenetic tree of animals is based on molecular and morphological data
• When using molecular data, it is assumed that the more closely related two organisms, the more rRNA nucleotide sequences they will have in common
• Using molecular data has changed the earlier trees that were based on morphological characteristics only

• Three types of symmetry exist in animals:
• 1) Asymmetrical symmetry is found in sponges that have no particular body shape
• 2) Radially symmetrical bodies of cnidarians and comb jellies that are organized circularly like a wheel where two identical halves result from any longitudinal cut
• 3) All other animals are bilaterally symmetrical as adults and only a longitudinal cut down the center will produce a definite left and right half
• Some radially symmetrical animals are sessile meaning they are non-motile staying attached to a substrate
• During the evolution of animals, bilateral symmetry is accompanied by cephalization, the localization of a brain and special sensory organs at anterior end
• Sponges are multicellular, but do not have true tissues so they have a cellular level of organization
• True tissues come about in other animals as they undergo embryogical development
• First three tissue layers are called germ layers because they give rise to organs and organ systems of the animal
• Cnidarians have only two tissue layers (ectoderm and endoderm) as embryos, and are diploblastic with a tissue level of organization
• Animals with three layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) as embryos are triblastic and have the organ level of organization
• Animals with three layers of tissue are either protostomes or deuterostomes
• Three major events differentiate the two:
• 1) Cleavage in protosomes is spiral and daughter cell fate is fixed and each cell becomes only one thing
• Cleavage in deuterosomes is radial and daughter cell fate is indeterminate and if separated each cell can become a complete organism
• 2) In protosomes, hollow ball of cells stage (blastula), a mouth forms near the blastopore
• In deuterosomes, anus appears near blastopore and later a mouth is formed
• 3) In protosomes, the mesoderm arises from cells located near embryonic blastopore and splitting occurs that produce the coelom
• In deuterosomes, the coelom arises as a pair of mesodermal pouches from the wall of the primitive gut. They enlarge, meet, and fuse

• Deuterosomes include echinoderms and chordates
• Protosomes are divided into ecdysozoa and lophotrochozoa
• Ecdysozoa include roundworms and arthropods
• These groups molt, or shed their outer covering as they grow
• All lophophores have the same type of feeding apparatus
• Sponges have few cell types and no nerve or musles cells
• Sponges are aquatic, largely marine animals with a saclike body filled with pores
• Interior of canals lined with flagellated cells, resembling choanoflagellates, called colar cells or choanocytes
• Movement of flagella brings water into central cavity and out the osculum in upper part
• Sponge is a stationary filter feeder or suspension feeder
• Microscopic food particles are engulfed by the collar cells and digested in food vacuoles
• All sponges have fibers of spongin, a type of collagen that acts as a skeleton
• Endoskeleton of sponges also contains spicules, small needle-like structures

5. In the snail, a mother sporocyst encloses many developing daughter sporocysts; daughter sporocysts enclose many developing larvae (cercariae).
4. Ciliated larvae (miracidia) hatch in water and enter a snail, the secondary host.
6. Larvae (cercariae) break out of daughter sporocysts, escape snail, and enter water.
1. Larvae penetrate skin of a human, the primary host, and mature in the liver.
3. Eggs migrate into digestive tract and are passed in feces.

2. Adult worms live and copulate in blood vessels of human gut.
• Tapeworms vary in length from a few millimeters to nearly 20 meters
• Head region is called scolex that contains hooks for attachment to intestinal wall of host
• Behind scolex, a series of reproductive units called proglottids are found that contain a full set of male and female sex organs
• Most tapeworms have complicated life cycles that usually involve several hosts

• Gastropods are the largest class of molluscs which include slugs and snails
• They have elongated, flattened foot and most have a one-piece coiled shell that protects the visceral mass
• Cephalopod means head-footed
• Both squids and octopi can squeeze their mantle cavity so that water is forced out through a funnel, propelling them by jet propulsion
• Tentacles and arms that circle the head capture prey by adhesive secretions or suckers

• Annelids are one trochozoan with segmentation and a well-developed coelom
• Segmentation is the repetition of body parts along the length of the body
• Coelom is fluid-filled and serves as a supportive hydrostatic skeleton
• Setae are bristles that protrude from body wall and anchor the worm
• Oligochaetes have few setae and polychaetes have many setae
• Earthworms, Lumbricus terrestris are oligochaetes
• They are hermaphraditic with both testes and ovaries
• During mating, two worms lie parallel facing opposite directions
• The clitellum of each worm secretes muscus to prevent drying of sperm as it passes between the worms
• There is no larval stage
• About two-thirds of annelids are marine polychaetes
• Setae are bundles on parapodia or paddlelike appendages used for swimming and respiration
• Leeches are freshwater annelids without setae
• Some like medicinal leech can keep blood flowing by means of hirudin, a powerful anticoagulant in saliva

• Roundworms (Nematoda) are nonsegmented worms
• They have a pseudocoelom meaning the mesoderm is inside body wall, but not around the digestive (gut) cavity
• Parasitic roundworms include:
• Ascaris infections of humans, cats, dogs, pigs, and other vertebrates
• Symptoms depend on the stage of infection
• In lungs, can cause pneumonia-like symptoms
• In intestine, causes malnutrition
• Trichinosis is caused when humans eat pork with encysted Trichinella larva
• Offspring encyst in skeletal muscles
• Filarial worms transmitted to dogs by mosquitoes cause heart worm
• Elephantiasis caused by filarian worm Wuchereria bancrofti that reside in lymphatic vessels and prevent fluid flow
• Pinworms are the most common nematode parasite in the United States

• Arthropods vary greatly and are the most successful group of all animals
• Important arthropod characteristics:
• 1) A rigid but jointed exoskeleton composed primarily of chitin, a strong, flexible, nitrogenous polysaccharide
• Exoskeleton is hard and nonexpandable so must be molted to grow
• Before molting, body secretes a new, larger exoskeleton under the old one
• Enzymes partially dissolve the old one, animal wriggles out, and new exoskeleton expands and hardens
• 2) Segmentation is apparent because each segment has a pair of jointed appendages even though some are fused into a head, thorax, and abdomenAppentages are highly adapted to a particular function
• 3) Well-developed nervous system with a brain and nerve cord
• Head has sense organs including eyes-simple and compound
• Many have well-developed touch, small, taste, balance, and hearing
• 4) Variety of respiratory organs:
• Marine forms with gills; terrestrial forms have book lungs or air tubes called tracheae
• 5) Reduced competition through metamorphosis in which arthropods undergo drastic change in form and physiology from immature larva to adult
• Among arthropods, larva eat different foods and live in different environments than adult
