1. Introduction
Among the 5 major kingdoms of biodiversity, the KindomAnimalia is one of the important one. All the members of this kingdom are multicellular, eukaryotes and heterotrophs. Most of the members can move independently and are regarded as motile. As per estimates, there are around 9 to 10 million species of animals and among these about 8 lakh species have been identified. India has only 2.4% of global land area but contains 7-8% of globally recorded species. Over 46,000 species of plants and 96,000 species of animals are recorded in India. Animals may lack symmetry or may have radial or bilateral symmetry. Bilaterally symmetrical animals have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. There are three major clades of bilaterian animals: Deuterostomia, Lophotrochozoa, and Ecdysozoa. With one exception, the phyla in these clades consist entirely of invertebrates, animals that lack a backbone; Chordata is the only phylum that includes vertebrates, animals with a backbone. They have been classified/subdivided into many categories on different basis as discussed in this module. The module discusses the evolutionary origin of animals, different animal classification systems, animal germ layers and their derivatives, State animals and birds etc.
2. Evolutionary origin of animals
The history of animals spans more than half a billion years. Fossil biochemical evidence and molecular clock analyses indicate that animals arose over 700 million years ago. Genomic analyses suggest that key steps in the origin of animals involved new ways of using proteins that were encoded by genes found in choanoflagellates. This table provides an overview of how animals evolved from their distant common ancestor over four geologic eras.
Era Period Age (Millions Important Events of years ago)
Neoproterozoic Ediacaran 560-542 soft-bodied; radially symmetric invertebrate animals appear (fossils: Mawsonitesspriggi, Sprigginafloundersi, Cloudina,

3. Animal Classification 3.1.Carolus Linnaeus classification All modern classification systems have their roots in the Carolus Linnaeus classification system. His two most important contributions to taxonomy were: i) A hierarchical classification system: species are grouped in increasingly broad taxa: Related genera are placed in the same family, families in orders, orders in classes, classes in phyla, phyla in kingdoms; ii) The system of binomial nomenclature (a 2-part naming method): Genus: The first part of the binomial to which the species belongs. The first letter of the genus is always capitalized, Specific epithet: The second part of binomial, is unique for each species within the genus, Entire binomial is italicized and scientific names are in Latin 3.2. Five kingdom classification Many biologists including R.H. Whittaker recognized five kingdoms:Monera (prokaryotes), Protista (a diverse kingdom consisting (mostly of unicellular organisms), Plantae, Fungi, andAnimalia.However, phylogenies based on genetic data soon began toreveal a problem
Paper 03 Biodiversity and Conservation Environmental Sciences Module 09 Animal Diversity: Origin and Classification
with this system: Some prokaryotes differ asmuch from each other as they do from eukaryotes. Such difficultieshave led biologists to adopt a three-domain system.
3.3.Three domain classification: Tree of life The three-domain system is a biological classification introduced by Carl Woese et al. in 1977 that divides cellular life forms into archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains. Tree of life is based in part on sequence comparisons of rRNA genes or rDNA
3.4. Other animal classification systems
Paper 03 Biodiversity and Conservation Environmental Sciences Module 09 Animal Diversity: Origin and Classification
i) Animal classification based on level of organization:
a) Cellular level of organisation: Animal kingdom is divided into two subkingdoms- protozoa and metazoa. Protozoa are defined as single-celled eukaryotic organisms and metazoa are multicellular eukaryotic organisms. The sub-kingdom metazoa is further sub-divided into two branches: parazoa and eumetazoa.
Parazoa: Cells are arranged as loose cell aggregates, i.e., they exhibit cellular level of organisation; absence of tissue or organ system level of organisation. Eg. Phylum porifera
Eumetazoa: Clade comprising all major animal phyla except porifera. Embryo gets layered during gastrulation. Exhibit either tissue or organ system level of organisation.
b) Tissue level of organisation: In phylum Cnidaria and Ctenophora, the arrangement of cells is more complex. Here the cells performing the same function are arranged into tissues.
c) Organ level of organization: Organ level is exhibited by members of Platyhelminthes and other higher phyla where tissues are grouped together to form organs, each specialised for a particular function.
ii) Animal classification based on symmetry
a) Symmetry: Animals can be categorised on the basis of their symmetry.
b) Asymmetry: Sponges are mostly asymmetrical, i.e., any plane that passes through the centre does not divide them into equal halves.
c) Radial symmetry: When any plane passing through the central axis of the body divides the organism into two identical halves, it is called radial symmetry. Cnidarians, ctenophores and echinoderms have this kind of body plan. In phylum Echinodermata, larval stages are bilaterally symmetrical and adult stages are radially symmetric.
Paper 03 Biodiversity and Conservation Environmental Sciences Module 09 Animal Diversity: Origin and Classification
d) Bilateral symmetry: Animals like annelids, arthropods, etc., where the body can be divided into identical left and right halves in only one plane, exhibit bilateral symmetry
iii) Animal classification based on Number of germ layers: In all the animals except sponges, the embryo becomes layered during gastrulation. As development progresses, these layers, called germ layers, form the various tissues and organs of the body.
a) Diploblastic animals: Animals in which the cells are arranged in two embryonic layers, an external ectoderm and an internal endoderm, are called diploblastic animals, e.g., Cnidarians and Ctenophores. An undifferentiated layer, mesoglea or mesohyl, is present in between the ectoderm and the endoderm.
b) Triploblastic animals: Those animals in which the developing embryo has a third germinal layer, mesoderm, in between the ectoderm and endoderm, are called triploblastic animals (platyhelminthes to chordates).
iv) Animal classification based on body cavity
a) Body cavity: Presence or absence of a cavity between the body wall and the gut wall is very important in classification.
b) Coelomates: Most triploblastic animals have a body cavity, a fluid- or air-filled space located between the digestive tract and the outer body wall. This body cavity is also called a coelom. Animals possessing coelom are called coelomates, e.g., annelids, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms, and chordates.
c) Pseudocoelomates: In some animals, the body cavity is not lined by mesoderm, instead, the mesoderm is present as scattered pouches in between the ectoderm and endoderm. Such a body cavity is called pseudocoelom and the animals possessing them are called pseudocoelomates, e.g., aschelminthes
d) Acoelomates: The animals in which the body cavity is absent are called acoelomates, e.g., Platyhelminthes.
Paper 03 Biodiversity and Conservation Environmental Sciences Module 09 Animal Diversity: Origin and Classification
v) Animal classification based on presence or absence of notochord: Notochord is a mesodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the dorsal side during embryonic development in some animals
a) Non-chordates: Those animals which do not form notochord structure are called non- chordates, e.g., porifera to echinoderms.
b) Chordates: Four key characters of chordates: a notochord; a dorsal, hollow nerve cord; pharyngeal slits or clefts; and a muscular, post-anal tail.
vi) Animal classification based on embryonic development & segmentation
a) Embryonic development: Based on certain aspects of early development, many animals can be described as having one of two developmental modes: protostome development or deuterostome development. These modes can generally be distinguished by differences in cleavage, coelom formation, and fate of the blastopore.
b) Protostomes: Protostome development begins with spiral, determinate cleavage. The coelom forms from splits in the mesoderm and the mouth forms from the blastopore. Protostomes include the phyla Mollusca, Annelida and Arthropoda.
c) Deuterostomes:Deuterostome development is characterized by radial, indeterminate cleavage. Coelom forms from mesodermal outpocketings of the archenteron and the mouth forms from a secondary. Anus develops from blastopore. Deuterostomes include the phyla Echinodermata and Chordata.

Reproduce asexually by fragmentation and sexually by formation of gametes
Examples: Sycon(Scypha), Spongilla(Fresh water sponge) and Euspongia(Bath sponge)
Ctenophora Eight rows of ciliated "combs" or ctenes (comb jellies) Bioluminescence is well-marked in ctenophores
Reproduction takes place only by sexual means
Examples: Pleurobrachiaand Ctenoplana
Cnidaria Unique stinging structures (nematocysts) housed in specialized cells (cnidocytes)
Corals have a skeleton composed of calcium carbonate. Cnidarians exhibit two basic body forms called polyp and medusa
Those cnidarians which exist in both forms exhibit alternation ofgeneration (metagenesis) (e.g., Obelia).
Examples: Physalia(Portuguese man-of-war), Adamsia(Sea anemone),Pennatula(Sea-pen), Gorgonia(Sea-fan) and Meandrina(Brain coral).
