Phylum Arthropoda (cont’d)
Phylum Arthropoda (cont’d)
• Most successful phylum
– Ecologically diverse
– Present in all regions of
the earth
• Adapted to air, land,
freshwater, marine,
other organisms
Evolutionary Background
Evolutionary Background
• The phylum includes largest no of animals
• Much earlier than human; first to dominate
the land
• Accessed all possible habitats, mountain
peaks to depths of the ocean
• Related to human life with different
aspects, thus having economic importance
• The earliest record of the study of arthro­
pods is available from the work of Aristotle
(384-322 B.C.) with crabs & related forms
5
• The present trend of studying Arthropoda began with the
work of Linnaeus (1707-1778), who created a group Insecta
aptera to include Crustaceans, Myriapods and Spiders
• The name Crustacea and Myriapoda were first introduced by
Cuvier (1769-1832) and Latreille (1825).
6
Evolutionary Background
Evolutionary Background
• Lamarck (1744-1829) in his classification, included spiders,
mites, myriapods and silver fishes under Arachnida and
grouped prawns, lob­
sters, crabs and water fleas within
Crustacea
• It was Cuvier who first suggested to include these animals
and annelids under one large group, Articulata. Von Siebold
(1845) later separated the annelids and the rest were
included under Arthropoda 7

Reasons for success
Reasons for success
1. Versatile exoskeleton
2. Efficient locomotion
3. Air piped directly to
cells (terrestrial)
4. Highly developed
sensory organs
5. Complex behavior
6. Metamorphosis
9
1. Exoskeleton
– External: not enveloped by living tissue
– Protection
– Secreted by underlying epidermis
• Waterproof barrier
• Chitin +/- calcium,
lipoproteins
• Modifications
– Can be site for muscle
attachment
– Energy stores- flying
– Sensory receptors
– Gas exchange
– bristles
10
1. Exoskeleton (cont’d)
– Soft and permeable or hard, impermeable
– Between segments of
body/appendages=
thin + flexible
– Must be shed (ecdysis=
molting) to allow growth
– Relatively heavy
• Limits size
11
2. Efficient locomotion
– Tagmatization, more specialized than annelids
• Regions= tagma/tagmata
• Jointed appendages
Crayfish mouthparts
Crushing food Food handling Drawing water into gills
Touch, taste, food handling
12
3. Air piped directly
to cells
– More efficient than
most other
invertebrates
• Most have efficient
tracheal system of
air tubes; some
breathe by gills
• Limits size
13
4. Highly developed sense organs
• Sight, touch, smell, hearing, balance, chemical
reception
Displacement of seta initiates
a nerve impulse in a receptor
cell at its base
Eyes convert light energy into
nerve impulses
14
5. Complex behavior patterns
• Complex, organized activities
• May be innate (unlearned) or learned
15
6. Limited intraspecific competition
– Many arthropods undergo metamorphosis
• meta= between/after; morphē= form; osis= state of
– Different stages (ie. larva, adult) have
different nutrition/habitats
 no competition
