• Development
!Radial cleavage
!Blastopore becomes the anus
and mouth forms on opposite
side
!Coelom develops from
mesodermal pockets that bud
off from the gastrula cavity
!Triploblastic, coelomate animals
with internal skeletons
!Complete gut.
• There are far fewer species of
deuterostomes than protostomes.

Group 1: Acorn worms
• Up to 2 m long, burrow in soft marine sediments
• Digestive tract is a mouth, pharynx, and intestine
• The pharynx opens to the outside via pharyngeal slits.
• Vascularized tissue around the slits is a gas exchange surface.
• Prey is captured with the large proboscis, which is covered in sticky
mucus.

Group 2: Pterobranchs
• Sedentary marine animals that live in tubes secreted by the proboscis.
• Some are solitary, others form colonies.
• The collar has one to nine pairs of arms with tentacles for prey
capture and gas exchange.

Echinoderm Video
51
Endoskeleton
• Endoskeleton derived from mesoderm
• The endoskeleton is covered in epidermis
• The skeletal plates are connected by collagen which can be
stiff or flexible which controls body tone without muscle

• 600 described extant species, many more in the fossil record
• Both shallow water and deep trenches
• Oral surface in dorsal, aboral surface is ventral
• Sea Lily’s are attached to the surface by a stalk
Fossil Sea Lily’s, 330 mya
Feather Star
Asteroidea- Sea stars
!56Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• 1500 described species, both shallow and deep habitats
• Mostly predaceous with an evertable stomach
• Remarkable capacity for regeneration
Pycnopodia- sunflower star
Asteroidea- Evertable stomach
!57Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• When feeding, sea stars can extend their stomach pushing it
through very small openings
• The water vascular system is used to slowly pull muscles apart
along with specialized ‘catch collagen’
Asteroidea- Crown of Thorns
!58Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• Among the largest sea stars, spines have neurotoxins
• Voracious predator of coral (Great Barrier Reef)
• Introduced species that is difficult to control

!61Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• Urchins feed on kelp (brown algae)
• Kelp forests in California harbor a great diversity of species

• Sea otters prey on urchins (using tools) keeping populations in
check; they are a keystone species
Kelp forest, Monterey Bay

!62Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• 1,200 described species, scavengers and filter feeders
• Soft-bodied, secondary bilateral symmetry*

!66Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
Notochord
!67Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• Notochord is a dorsal supporting rod.
• Core of large cells with fluid-filled vacuoles, making it rigid but
flexible.
• In tunicates it is lost during metamorphosis to the adult stage.
• In vertebrates it is replaced by skeletal structures.
Dorsal hollow nerve cord
!68Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• Formed by an embryonic folding of the ectoderm
• Develops to form the central nervous system in vertebrates
Post Anal Tail
!69Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• Extension of the body past the anal opening
• In some species (e.g., humans) most visible in embryos
• The combination of postanal tail, notochord, and muscles
provides propulsion
Pharyngeal Slits
!70Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
• The pharynx is a muscular organ that brings water in through
the mouth (via cilia) which then passes through a series of
openings to the outside (slits).
• Ancestral pharyngeal slits present at some developmental
stage; often lost or modified in adults.
• Supported by pharyngeal arches.

Lancelet Features
• Lancelets (aka amphioxus) are very small, less than 5 cm.
• Notochord is retained throughout life.
• Burrow in sand with head protruding; also swim.
• Pharynx is enlarged to form a pharyngeal basket for filtering prey from the water.
• Fertilization takes place in the water.
• Segmented body muscles

Adult Tunicates
81
• Tunicates (sea squirts or ascidians, thaliaceans, and
larvaceans):
• Sea squirts form colonies by budding from a single founder.
Colonies may be meters across.
• Adult body is baglike and enclosed in a “tunic” of proteins
and complex polysaccharides secreted by the epidermis.
Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016
Adult Tunicates
82
• Solitary tunicates seem to lack all of the synapomorphies of
chordates?
• No dorsal hollow nerve cord, no notochord, no postanal tail

Juvenile Tunicates
84
Ascidian tunicate larva
• Sea squirt larvae have pharyngeal slits, a hollow nerve cord,
and notochord in the tail region.
• The swimming, tadpolelike larvae suggest a relationship
between tunicates and vertebrates.
• Larvacean tunicates do not undergo the metamorphosis and
retain all of the chordate features.

    Notochord !67Slides by JonathanEisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016 • Notochord is a dorsal supporting rod. • Core of large cells with fluid-filled vacuoles, making it rigid but flexible. • In tunicates it is lost during metamorphosis to the adult stage. • In vertebrates it is replaced by skeletal structures.
  • 89.
    Dorsal hollow nervecord !68Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016 • Formed by an embryonic folding of the ectoderm • Develops to form the central nervous system in vertebrates

    Post Anal Tail !69Slidesby Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016 • Extension of the body past the anal opening • In some species (e.g., humans) most visible in embryos • The combination of postanal tail, notochord, and muscles provides propulsion
  • 91.
    Pharyngeal Slits !70Slides byJonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016 • The pharynx is a muscular organ that brings water in through the mouth (via cilia) which then passes through a series of openings to the outside (slits). • Ancestral pharyngeal slits present at some developmental stage; often lost or modified in adults. • Supported by pharyngeal arches.
  • 92.
    Slides by JonathanEisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016 Clicker 71 Why are pharyngeal slits NOT considered a synapomorphy of chordates? A. They occur in other deuterostomes B.
