Deuterostome Clade

Echinoderms (seastars and sea urchins) and

Chordates (Us) are monophyletic.

Protostomes make up two clades:

Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa.

Lophotrochozoa are split into 2 groups:

Trochopore larva (annelida and mollusca)

and Lophophore bearing (flatworms, rotifers).

Ecdysozoans shed an old exoskeletons

(Nematodes and Arthropods).

Our own phylum, Chordata, is distinguished by

four features

– Chordates, phylum Chordata have

• A dorsal hollow ner ve cord

• A stiff notochord

• Pharyngeal slits

• A muscular post-anal tail

Vertebrate Evolution and

Diversity

Chordata

Chordata also includes:

– Urochordates - Tunicates

– Cephalochordates - Lancelets

The Amniotes

Class – Mammals - you

Class – Testudines - turtles

Class – Sphenodontia - tuataras

Class – Squamata – snakes and lizards

Class – Crocodilia- crocodiles and alligators

Class – Aves - birds

Amniotic Egg

The egg has a shell that allows the animal to live

on land exclusively (although many have returned

to the water).

Extraembryonic membranes

– Allantois – disposal of waste

– Amnion – protects embryo and prevents

dehydration

– Chorion – Exhange gases for the embryo

– Yolk Sac – contains nutrients in yolk

Skull features separated the

Earliest Amniotes

Synapsids - (One opening behind temple)lead to

therapsids and mammals

Anapsids - (No openings on the temple of the skull)lead to

An extinct group of reptiles (and maybe turtles)

Diapsids – (two arches opening) Lead to the dinosaurs,

modern reptile, archesaurs and birds

Dimetrodon – a mammal-like reptile

Titanophoneus a dominant

Therapsid

Reptilian Heritage evident

Terrestrial adaptations:

– Keratin scales protect from dessication (drying out)

– Must get all air from their lungs.

– Fertilization is internal

– Ectothermic –absorb external heat but have behaviors that assist in temperature control.

– Three chambered heart

– The first radiation was based upon skull differences and happened about 250 MYA

Vertebrates: Reptiles Characteristics

– body structure

• dry skin, scales, armor

– body function

• lungs for gas exchange

The age of Reptiles

The Mesozoic Era saw a wide diversification of reptiles and their cousins the dinosaurs.

From 251 to 65 MYA

When the dominant amphibians and therapsids went extinct at the end of the Permian (also ending the Paleozoic Era) Dinosaurs took over.

Testudines Turtles – no openings in temples but other

factors do not link them to the other

anapsids.

Newly discovered fossil from China has shed light on how the turtle's shell

evolved.

The 220 million-year-old find, described in Nature journal, shows that the turtle's

breast plate developed earlier than the rest of its shell.

The breast plate of this fossil was an extension of its ribs, but only hardened skin

covered its back.

Diapsids split into

Lepidosauria – Extinct oceanic reptiles

– Sphenodontia

– Mosasaurs
