Population density

• 1x1019 individuals (insect)– = 10 quintillion individuals– =10 million million million

Page 5: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Arthropod Diversity

• 1,004,898 described species as of 2009 – (Footit & Adler)

• True estimates most likely 5 million species (Erwin 1982)– 1 million described– 4 million undescribed

Page 6: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Why have arthropods achieved such great diversity and abundance?

• Small size– Less energy requirement– Habitats/ niches

• Flight (some individuals)– Escape/dispersal

• Cuticle– Protective/ efficient attachment for muscles – (more muscle mass per unit body mass)

• Highly organized/ effective sensory neuro-motor system– Recognize integrate and respond to external and internal signals

• High reproductive capacity• Differentiated stages

– Larva vs adult

Page 7: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Subphylum Chelicerata• 6 pairs of cephalothoracic appendages– Chelicerae (1 pair)– Pedipalps (1 pair)– Walking legs (4 pair)

• No antenna• Two classes– Class Merostomata• Horseshoe crab

– Class Arachnida• Spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites

Page 12: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Page 15: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Araneae: Spiders• Respiration– Book lungs • Parallel air pockets extending into a blood filled chamber

– Trachea• Air tubes connecting the outside directly to the blood

Page 16: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Excretion– Malphighian tubules– Uric acid

Page 17: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Sensory– Simple (poor vision movement not shapes)– Cuticular mechanoreceptors (sense vibrations/ air

movements)• Sensory setae• Trichobothria• Slit sense organs

Page 18: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Web spinning– Spinnerets/ silk glands– Scleroprotein (liquid but hardens as a result of being

pulled)– Strong and stretchy• Stronger than steel but will stretch 1/5 their length before

breaking

Page 19: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Reproduction– Male spins web to drop sperm in, gathers it with

his pedipalps and carries it to the females genital opening (lock and key)

– Female lays eggs in a net (cocoon), she may carry it or attach it to a plant

Page 20: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Venom– Largely harmless to people (2 exceptions)

damage warranting medical attention.

Page 21: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Mandibulates

Page 22: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Subphylum Crustacea• Characteristics– Marine, fresh water and terrestrial– Two pair of antennae– Five or more pairs of legs– Biramious (two main branches)– Gills

Page 23: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

Internal Features• Hemocoel– Blood-filled body space

• Muscular system– Antagonistic arrangement• Extensors- draw parts away from the body• Flexors- draw parts towards the body

Page 24: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Circulatory System– Open circulatory system• No veins• No separation of blood from intestinal fluid

– Blood leaves the heart by way of the arteries, circulates through the hemocoel, and returns to venous sinuses or spaces before it reenters the heart

Page 25: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Respiratory system– Small• Gas exchange occurs over thin areas of the cuticle or

the entire body– Large• Feather like gills

Page 26: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Excretory system– No malpighian tubules– “green glands”• Pair of tubular structures located in the ventral part of

their head next to the esophagus– Excretion of nitrogenous wastes (ammonia) takes

place across the cuticle

Page 27: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Nervous system– Fused ganglia (brain-ish)• Supraesophageal ganglia

– Eyes and antennae• Subesophageal ganglia

– Mouth and appendages

– 2 ventral nerve chords• Sensory system– Eyes• Compound (ommatidia)

– Tactile hairs

Page 28: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans

• Reproduction– Dioecious– Parthenogenic• Female lays unfertilized eggs which develop into young

– Metamorphosis• Ecdyis – Shedding of the cuticle– Controlled by hormomes and external conditions

Page 29: “jointed foot” Insects, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, and crustaceans
