Lampreys and Fossil Jawless Fishes Current Classification Bibliography Jawed Vertebrates Vertebrata - AccessScience from McGraw-Hill Education https://www.accessscience.com/content/vertebrata/730900 (https://www.accessscience.com:443/) Article by: Wiley, Edward O., III Natural History Museum, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Publication year: 2014 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1036/1097-8542.730900 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1036/1097-8542.730900) Content Lampreys and fossil jawless fishes Current classification Bibliography Jawed vertebrates The largest natural group (clade, monophyletic group) of chordate animals. Like all chordates, vertebrates have a notochord, but it is largely replaced by vertebrae (initially neural arches that surround the nerve chord) during development. Together with the living hagfishes (Hyperotreti; Myxiniiformes) and many fossil groups, vertebrates are members of the Craniata. One major theme of craniate evolution is the increasing elaboration of the brain, its cranial nerves, and many sensory organs, such as the organs of smell (olfactory), hearing (inner ear), and feel (sensory organs of the lateral line system). A unique innovation is the evolution of neural crest cells, cells that begin development along the neural crest of the embryo and which then migrate to many parts of the body, giving rise to or contributing to the formation of such structures as the cranium and the branchial arches (a remnant of which remains in humans as parts of the larynx). Vertebrates have a long fossil history. Earliest fossils of jawless vertebrates are known from the late Cambrian (490 million years before present, MYBP). Jawed vertebrate fossils are known from the Ordovician (450 MYBP) and this group began to predominate in the Devonian (about 360 MYBP).

Modern (evolutionary phylogenetic) classifications are based on common ancestry and genealogy. Thus, traditional classifications have been highly modified and classifications in many textbooks are out of date. Older classifications recognized a group, Agnatha, which contained lampreys and the more primitive hagfishes. Modern classifications recognize the evidence that lampreys, although jawless, are nevertheless more closely related to jawed vertebrates than to hagfishes. Older classifications placed the lungfishes and coelacanths with the bony fishes. Modern classifications place them with the legged vertebrates, because they share a common ancestor with legged vertebrates not shared with bony fishes. See also: Sarcopterygii (/content/sarcopterygii/601800); Systematics (/content/systematics/036000) Lampreys and fossil jawless fishes The most basal living members of Vertebrata are the lampreys (Hyperoatia; about 35 species). Lampreys are jawless fishes whose eel-like body resembles hagfishes, but whose predatory, round, and toothed mouth is unique among vertebrates. Lampreys and many fossil jawless vertebrates that flourished in the Paleozoic have a number of unique evolutionary innovations. These include neural arches (vertebrae) that enclose the dorsal nerve chord, muscles that work to move the fin rays, a vertebrate heart with atrium and ventricle closely situated, nervous regulation of the heart, and a number of important sensory innovations including the evolution of extrinsic eye muscles, the elaboration of the inner ear to two vertical semicircular canals (later to be three in jawed vertebrates), and the development of true neuromasts (sensory hair organs) in 1 of 4 8/4/2016 12:31 PM Vertebrata - AccessScience from McGraw-Hill Education https://www.accessscience.com/content/vertebrata/730900 the sensory canal system. Of course, some of the soft anatomy cannot be observed in fossils. See also: Jawless vertebrates (/content/jawless-vertebrates/014900) Jawed vertebrates Major evolutionary innovations characterized the jawed vertebrates, Gnathostomata (“jawed mouth”). In addition to jaws and characters mentioned above, gnathostomes have paired fins or the homologue of paired fins, legs. They also have a mineralized exoskeleton that surrounds certain cartilages of the head and fins and consists of true bone (as in human leg bones) or calcified cartilage (as in many sharks). As is usual in evolution, such characters evolve stepwise; there are jawless relatives of gnathostomes with paired fins, and more primitive relatives that have mineralized bone but which lack either paired fins or jaws. One of the remarkable innovations of the gnathostome ancestor was the evolution of the adaptive immune system, the basis of our ability to fight off infection and to develop vaccines to fight many infectious diseases. See also: Gnathostomata (/content/gnathostomata/293800) Placodermi and Chondrichthyes There are two major living clades of gnathostomes and one major extinct clade. The extinct clade is Placodermi, a group of Paleozoic fishes characterized by heavy body armor and which includes some of the largest predatory fishes of Paleozoic waters. The smaller of the living clades is Chondrichthyes. It includes the chimeras (30 species) and sharks and rays (about 830 species). Chondrichthyes has a rich fossil history; the earliest remains are known from the Late Ordovician, and early sharks were common predators in both Paleozoic and Mesozoic seas. They are characterized by several evolutionary innovations including internal fertilization via the unique male clasper organs, and the histology of the calcified cartilage that surrounds the cartilaginous skeleton (micrometric prismatic cartilage). The lack of an obvious bony skeleton is a secondary innovation of sharks and is not primitive. In fact, Chondrichthyes fishes have bone, which form the base of each scale. See also: Chondrichthyes (/content/chondrichthyes/133100); Placodermi (/content/placodermi/520900) Osteichthyes The third major clade of vertebrates is Osteichthyes, a group that in traditional classification contained only the bony fishes, but which now includes the Actinopterygii (bony fishes, about 25,000 species) and the Sarcopterygii (about 24,000 species). Sarcopterygii includes the legged vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds), the living lungfishes, coelacanths, and their diverse fossil relatives commonly known as crossopterygians. See also: Osteichthyes (/content/osteichthyes /478500) Current classification A current classification of living vertebrates is shown below. Note that the ranks of this classification serve only to organize and subordinate the groups; ranks do not imply distinctiveness or uniqueness of adaptations. Many of the traditional classes, such as class Mammalia, would have lower rank in modern classifications such as this one.

It contests the view that larvae and corresponding adults evolved from common ancestors. The present paper reviews the life histories of chordates, and it interprets them in terms of the larval transfer hypothesis. It is the first paper to apply the hypothesis to craniates. I claim that the larvae of tunicates were acquired from adult larvaceans, the larvae of lampreys from adult cephalochordates, the larvae of lungfishes from adult craniate tadpoles, and the larvae of ray-finned fishes from other ray-finned fishes in different families. The occurrence of larvae in some fishes and their absence in others is correlated with reproductive behavior. Adult amphibians evolved from adult fishes, but larval amphibians did not evolve from either adult or larval fishes. I submit that [1] early amphibians had no larvae and that several families of urodeles and one subfamily of anurans have retained direct development, [2] the tadpole larvae of anurans and urodeles were acquired separately from different Mesozoic adult tadpoles, and [3] the post-tadpole larvae of salamanders were acquired from adults of other urodeles. Reptiles, birds and mammals probably evolved from amphibians that never acquired larvae.

    The digestive physiology of the Pacific hagfish, Eptatretus stoutii by Alyssa Weinrauch A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physiology, Cell and Developmental Biology Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Alyssa Weinrauch, 2019 Abstract Hagfish are considered the oldest living representatives of the vertebrates and as such are of interest for studies in evolutionary biology. Moreover, hagfish occupy a unique trophic niche wherein they are active predators and benthic scavengers of a wide range of invertebrate and vertebrate prey, yet can tolerate nearly a year of fasting. Hagfish are also capable of acquiring nutrients across the integument in a manner similar to that of marine invertebrates, a hallmark of their position between the invertebrate and vertebrate lineages. Despite many interesting modes of feeding, relatively few studies have examined the digestive physiology of the hagfishes. Feeding and digestion cause many physiological perturbations, which result in elevated metabolic rate. I have characterised the increased metabolic demand (specific dynamic action) and determined that its peak in hagfish corresponds with the peak of acid-base alterations. Specifically, the rate of base efflux reaches a maximum 8 h post- feeding when the intestinal blood supply is significantly more alkaline. The offloading of base to the circulation (alkaline tide) is common of vertebrates that employ an acidic digestion in order to maintain cellular acid-base homeostasis. Likewise, the hagfishes employ a luminal acidification, despite lacking a stomach. I further investigated the cellular mechanisms responsible for hindgut luminal acidification and found that soluble adenylyl cyclase and cAMP are utilised to enhance proton secretion via proton-potassium exchangers (HKA), as is found in later-diverging vertebrates.

Here we show that a functional Aqp14 subfamily phy- logenetically related to AQP4-type channels exists in all vertebrate lineages except hagfishes and eutherian mammals. In contrast to the water-selective classical aquaporins, which have four aromatic-arginine constriction residues, Aqp14 proteins present five non-aromatic constriction residues and facilitate the permeation of water, urea, ammonia, H2O2 and gly- cerol. Immunocytochemical assays suggest that Aqp14 channels play important osmor- egulatory roles in piscine seawater adaptation. Our data indicate that Aqp14 intracellular trafficking is tightly regulated by the vasotocinergic/isotocinergic neuropeptide and receptor systems, whereby protein kinase C and A transduction pathways phosphorylate highly conserved C-terminal residues to control channel plasma membrane insertion. The neuro- peptide regulation of Aqp14 channels thus predates the vasotocin/vasopressin regulation of AQP2-5-6 orthologs observed in tetrapods. These findings demonstrate that vertebrate Aqp14 channels represent an ancient subfamily of neuropeptide-regulated polytransporters. 1 IRTA-Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (IBB), Universitat

  • Biomineralization and Evolutionary History Andrew H
    1 111 Biomineralization and Evolutionary History Andrew H. Knoll Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138 U.S.A. INTRODUCTION The Dutch ethologist Niko Tinbergen famously distinguished between proximal and ultimate explanations in biology. Proximally, biologists seek a mechanistic understanding of how organisms function; most of this volume addresses the molecular and physiological bases of biomineralization. But while much of biology might be viewed as a particularly interesting form of chemistry, it is more than that. Biology is chemistry with a history, requiring that proximal explanations be grounded in ultimate, or evolutionary, understanding. The physiological pathways by which organisms precipitate skeletal minerals and the forms and functions of the skeletons they fashion have been shaped by natural selection through geologic time, and all have constrained continuing evolution in skeleton-forming clades. In this chapter, I outline some major patterns of skeletal evolution inferred from phylogeny and fossils (Figure 1), highlighting ways that our improving mechanistic knowledge of biomineralization can help us to understand this evolutionary record (see Leadbetter and Riding 1986; Lowenstam and Weiner 1989; Carter 1990; and Simkiss and Wilbur 1989 for earlier reviews). Figure 1. A geologic time scale for the past 1000 million years, showing the principal time divisions used in Earth science and the timing of major evolutionary events discussed in this chapter. Earlier intervals of time—the Mesoproterozoic (1600–1000 million years ago) and Paleoproterozoic (2500– 1600 million years ago) eras of the Proterozoic Eon and the Archean Eon (> 2500 million years ago)— are not shown.

In order to shed some light on MT gene structure and evolution, we cloned seven Paracentrotus lividus MT genes, comparing them to Echinodermata and Chordata genes. Moreover, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of 32 MTs from different classes of echinoderms and 13 MTs from the most ancient chordates, highlighting the relationships between them. Since MTs have multiple roles in the cells, we performed RT-qPCR and in situ hybridization experiments to understand better MT functions in sea urchin embryos. Results showed that the expression of MTs is regulated throughout development in a cell type-specific manner and in response to various metals. The MT7 transcript is expressed in all tissues, especially in the stomach and in the intestine of the larva, but it is less metal-responsive.
