Animal Diversity Figure 32.4 A traditional view of animal diversity based on body-plan grades Figure 32.8 Animal phylogeny based on sequencing of SSU-rRNA The diversification of animals through evolution helps us to understand what an animal is.

• five stalked eyes; a backward-facing mouth under the head; and a long, flexible, hose-like proboscis which extended from under the front of the head and ended in a "claw" fringed with spines.

Phylum Porifera
• Sponges • “colony” of flagellated cells (choanocytes) • Porocytes on surface • individual cells can potentially regenerate into a new individual • No true tissues, no symmetry • Spicules, spongin Figure 33.3 Anatomy of a sponge Radial
Figure 32.5 Body symmetry Phylum Cnidaria • Hydras, jellyfish, sea anemones, corals • True tissues, nervous system, muscles, sensory organs, digestive system • generally two tissue layers: gastrodermis, epidermis • gastrovascular cavity • stinging cells • Radiata Figure 33.4 Polyp and medusa forms of cnidarians Figure 33.5 A cnidocyte of a hydra Discharged cnidocyte

The video was created by the TASRU (Tropical Australian Stinger Research Unit) of James Cook University. The video shows nematocysts along a section of tentacle from Carukia barnesi (Irukandji jellyfish) discharging after artificial stimulation. The image has been filmed through a microscope and is magnified about 400 times. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zJiBc_N1Zk • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTXinF8ZJellyfish lake Palau VCo • The golden jellyfish Mastigias cf. papua etpisoni Giant jellyfish

Class Gastropoda Figure 33.16 Basic body plan of mollusks Mollusca
• Euspira lewisii • Moon snail • one of the largest to be found intertidally in the Northwest • It does not usually stay inside the shell long because it cannot breathe. • It crawls across sandflats and mudflats with its huge foot partly extended in front of the shell like a snowplow, pushing through the sediments in search of clams.
