The document summarizes the annelid phylum, focusing on the class Polychaeta. Some key points:
- Polychaeta are segmented marine worms with parapodia used for locomotion and respiration. They display a range of feeding modes from predation to filter feeding.
- They have a distinct head with sensory organs and a retractable pharynx with jaws. Their body segments bear appendages called parapodia with setae.
- Reproduction varies but often involves asexual budding or releasing gametes into the water column in mass spawnings tied to lunar cycles.
- Examples discussed include clam worms, blood worms, fanworms and tubeworms, which may bur
The document discusses the phylum Annelida, class Polychaeta. Polychaetes, also known as bristle worms, are segmented worms that live in a variety of marine habitats like the ocean floor, under rocks and shells, or in coral reef crevices. They have appendages called setae or parapodia that function as paddles. While some polychaetes are free-swimming predators or scavengers, others like tube worms live sessile in self-made tubes attached to surfaces. Tube worms extend feathery gills and radioles from their tubes to create water currents for filter feeding.
The document summarizes several epidermal derivatives of the skin including hair, nails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and ceruminous glands. It states that hair is made of keratinized epithelial cells and consists of a shaft and root surrounded by the hair follicle. Nails cover the ends of fingers and toes and grow from the nail bed and matrix. Sebaceous and sweat glands are also described along with their functions of lubricating skin and regulating body temperature. Ceruminous glands uniquely produce earwax to protect the ear canal.
This document summarizes the foot and shell structures of molluscs. It describes how the foot aids in locomotion and adhesion. It then discusses the different classes of molluscs and how the foot is modified, such as being spade-like in scaphopods or arms in cephalopods. The document also summarizes shell structure, the three layers of shell, types of coiling, composition of shell material, and variations in shells across classes. It concludes by discussing reductions in shells and the protective and other functions shells provide.
The document discusses the structure and development of plant roots and stems. It describes how roots absorb water and minerals to support the plant, transport nutrients, and in some cases store food or enable vegetative reproduction. Roots have a tapered shape to easily penetrate soil. The document also outlines the functions of stems in distributing water and nutrients between roots and leaves. Stems support leaves, flowers, and seeds and can be used for various human purposes. The types of roots include taproots for food storage and fibrous roots for foundation support. Stem types include woody, grass-like, and wet varieties.

1) Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that can live both on land and in water. They have four limbs and lungs as adults.
2) Amphibians are classified into three subclasses: Labyrinthodontia, Lepospondyli, and Lissamphibia.
3) The three orders of modern amphibians (Lissamphibia) are Anura (frogs and toads), Urodela (salamanders), and Apoda (limbless amphibians).
The document summarizes the key characteristics of the Indian cattle leech (Hirudinaria granulosa). It lives in freshwater habitats in parts of Asia and feeds on the blood of various animals, including cattle and humans. The body is soft and elongated, segmented into 33 segments. It has distinctive coloration and two suckers used for attachment and feeding. The document describes the leech's external morphology, internal body structure, and two modes of locomotion.
The respiratory system of insects involves a network of tubular structures called trachea that distribute oxygen throughout the body. Trachea branch into very fine tracheoles that penetrate tissues and supply oxygen. Trachea are composed of a spiral thickening called taenidia that provides support. They open to the outside through spiracles located on the thorax and abdomen. Spiracles allow gas exchange and can close to prevent water loss. Trachea branch and connect to form a dorsal, ventral and two lateral trunks that supply different body regions. Respiration is classified based on the number and location of functional spiracles. Some insects respire through other structures like gills or cuticular surfaces in the absence of
The document discusses the different types of insect wings including their structure, venation, and function. It describes 7 different wing types such as tegmina, elytra, hemelytra, and halteres. The document also covers wing coupling mechanisms like hamulate, amplexiform, and frenate coupling that allow the forewings and hindwings to work together during flight.
This document provides information about coral reefs and the process of coral reef formation. It defines coral reefs as underwater structures made of calcium carbonate secreted by coral polyps belonging to the phylum Cnidaria. It then describes the main type of fringing reef, noting that it is distinguished from barrier reefs and atolls by having a shallow backreef zone or none at all, and growing directly from the shoreline or extending hundreds of yards from shore with potential backreef areas.
Flight adaptation and Mechanism Of Flight in Birds.Manish Dash
This document discusses flight adaptations and the mechanism of flight in birds. It describes the key morphological adaptations birds have developed for flight including their streamlined bodies, lightweight feathers, modified forelimbs that form wings, and other adaptations. It also discusses important anatomical modifications such as their lightweight skeletons, strong breast muscles, and efficient respiratory and circulatory systems. Finally, it explains how birds generate lift through their airfoils and use a downward power stroke and upward recovery stroke of their wings to fly through flapping.
Amphibians were the first vertebrates to adapt to living on land, though most still require water for reproduction or parts of their life cycle. They have moist skin, minimal teeth, and undergo metamorphosis from aquatic tadpoles to terrestrial adults. While tadpoles are herbivorous, most adult amphibians are carnivorous. They have complex life cycles and come in three main types: anures without tails, urodels with tails, and legless gymnophions.
The document summarizes the different types of insect mouthparts based on their structure and function. It describes 8 main types: 1) biting and chewing, 2) piercing and sucking (bug type), 3) piercing and sucking (mosquito type), 4) chewing and lapping, 5) rasping and sucking, 6) mandibulosuctorial, 7) sponging, and 8) siphoning. Each type has a distinct structure of the mouthparts that determines how the insect feeds, such as biting solid food, piercing and sucking liquids, lapping nectar, or siphoning plant fluids.
Insects, spiders, crabs, shrimp, millipedes, and centipedes are all arthropods. Arthropods have jointed feet, a segmented body, and an exoskeleton, a cuticle on the outside of their body. Arthropods have by far the greatest number of species of any animal group, at around 900,000 species
Archaeopteryx is a genus of feathered dinosaurs that lived around 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period and is considered a transitional form between non-avian dinosaurs and modern birds, exhibiting both avian and reptilian features such as teeth, claws, and a long tail as well as feathers and a wishbone. Discovered in 1860 in Germany, Archaeopteryx has helped establish birds as modern feathered dinosaurs.

All birds are in the Animalia Kingdom, Phylum of Chordata (with a backbone), and Class Aves (birds). At the Order level, the birds begin to diverge. For instance, the pelicans are in the Pelecaniformes Order while the nuthatches are in the Passeriformes Order.
Osmoregulation is the process of maintaining salt and water balance (osmotic balance) across membranes within the body. The fluids inside and surrounding cells are composed of water, electrolytes, and nonelectrolytes. An electrolyte is a compound that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water.
Mammals are classified into 5420 species within 152 families and 29 orders. The two subclasses are Prototheria and Theria. Prototheria contains monotremes like platypuses and echidnas that lay eggs. Theria contains marsupials in the infraclass Metatheria that give birth to immature young developing further in pouches, and placentals in Eutheria that give live birth to mature young. Marsupials include opossums and kangaroos, while placentals make up the majority of mammal species and include humans, whales, bats and more. Classification systems continue to evolve as new genetic and fossil evidence is discovered.
1. Insects have different types of mouthparts depending on their feeding habits. The two main types are mandibulate, for feeding on solid food, and haustellate, for feeding on liquid food.
2. Examples of different mouthpart types include: biting and chewing (cockroaches, grasshoppers), piercing and sucking (plant bugs, mosquitoes), chewing and lapping (honey bees), rasping and sucking (thrips), mandibulosuctorial (antlion grubs), sponging (house flies), and siphoning (moths, butterflies).

Phylum Arthropoda includes insects, crustaceans, arachnids and makes up over 82% of all living things. They are characterized by having a segmented body, jointed appendages, and an exoskeleton made of chitin. Arthropods have a head with sensory organs and mouthparts, a thorax for appendage attachment, and some have an abdomen. Their exoskeleton provides protection but limits growth, requiring molting. They are bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, and have open circulatory, digestive and nervous systems adapted for their habitat.
The reproductive systems of male and female Ascaris lubricoides worms are described. The male system includes a single coiled testis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, ejaculatory duct, and two penial spicules. The female system includes two long coiled ovaries, oviducts, uteri which store fertilized eggs, and a vagina. Gametes are formed through a process called telogony, where gametogonia bud off from the gonads and differentiate into gametocytes as they move through zones of proliferation, growth, and maturation.

The document provides a detailed overview of the hierarchical classification system used to classify living organisms. It describes the five kingdom system including Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Each kingdom is then broken down into smaller subgroups like phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Examples are provided for important subgroups in each kingdom like bacteria, fungi, ferns, flowering plants, sponges, jellyfish, worms, insects, fish and mammals.
Insects play important roles in ecosystems through pollination, decomposition, and as a food source. They can be beneficial or harmful depending on the situation. Insects are classified scientifically with a two-part Latin name at the genus and species levels. Their bodies have three main regions - head, thorax, and abdomen - and they undergo different life cycles ranging from incomplete to complete metamorphosis. Internally, insects have organ systems adapted for digestion, circulation, nerves, and respiration via tracheae, though these differ significantly from human and other mammal systems.

This document provides an overview of the classification of living organisms into taxonomic groups from the cellular level to multicellular organisms. It summarizes key biologists like Whittaker who classified organisms into five kingdoms - Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Each kingdom is then further divided into subordinate taxa with defining characteristics described. The classifications of plants, animals and protists are summarized in a hierarchical outline.
The binomial system of names for species is universal among biologists and has been agreed and developed at a series of congresses.
When species are discovered they are given scientific names using the binomial system.
All organisms are classified into three domains.
Taxonomists classify species using a hierarchy of taxa.
The principal taxa for classifying eukaryotes are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
In a natural classification, the genus and accompanying higher taxa consists of all the species that have evolved from one common ancestral species.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.
2. An arthropod (/ rθrəp d/, from Greek ρθρον arthron,ˈɑː ɒ ἄ
"joint" and πούς pous, "foot") is an invertebrate animal
having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented
body, and paired jointed appendages.

6. Class Insecta
The body is divided into three parts – head, thorax and abdomen.
The head, thorax and abdomen are not segments.
• They have three pairs of (jointed) legs– attached to
the thorax.
• They usually have wings– one or two pairs attached
to the thorax.
• They have one pairof antennae– attached to the head.
• They have compound eyes– each one with
hundreds of small units called ocelli.
• Breathing is through small holes (spiracles), occurring in pairs, one
each side of the abdominal segments and two on the thoracic segments.
The spiracles lead into branched tubes called tracheae.
7. Class Crustaceans
These live mostly in water (e.g. a lobster) and those that
live on land (e.g. some crabs) live in damp places.
As well as the characteristic of arthropods, crustaceans
have other features: (Figure 1.7):
• There are two pairs of antennae that are attached
to the head.
• There are three pairs of mouthparts that, with the
antennae, make up the fi v epairs of appendages
attached to the head.
• The exoskeleton is often strengthened with calcium
salts. (This protects the animal from predators, but can make the animal very heavy.
The additional mass is supported by the water in which most crustaceans live.)
• The head and thorax are often joined to form the
cephalothorax.
• The abdomen often has a pair of limbson each
segment, which are modifi ed for many purposes, but
often for swimming
8. Class Arachnids
This group includes the spiders and the scorpions and,
as well as those features possessed by arthropods, the
arachnids also have the following (Figure 1.8):
• A body divided into two parts (the head and thorax,
called the cephalothorax, and the abdomen).
• Four pairs of jointed legs joined to the cephalothorax.
• No antennae
9. Class Myriapods
Myriapod means ‘countless legs’ and includes the
centipedes and millipedes. As well as possessing the
features common to arthropods, they also possess
(Figure 1.9):
• One pair of antennae.
• One or two pairs of legs attached to every segment
11. Classification of the plant kingdom
In plant classification, the term ‘division’ is often used
instead of phylum, but like phyla, divisions are divided
into classes. Two major divisions of plants are the ferns and the flowering plants.
Characteristics of ferns
Ferns have the following characteristics :
• They are green photosynthesising plants.
• They have conducting tissue (xylem and phloem)
forming veins.
• They have, often compressed, stems called rhizomes.
• They do not produce flowers.
• Instead, they produce spores that are light and easily
carried away by the wind.
• Spores are released from spore cases(sporangia)
that are found on the lower surfaces of fronds.
• Frond is the term for the leaves of ferns
12. Classes of flowering plant
Monocotyledons
Mono = one, cotyledon = a leaf that
forms part of the
structure of the seed.
This class includes the grasses,
cereals, lilies and
orchids, all of which share the
following characteristics
(Figure 1.14):
• One cotyledon inside each
seed
• Leavesthatare narrow and
strap-like
• Leavesthathave parallel
veins
• A mass of equally sized
(fibrous) roots
• Flower parts that are usually
arranged in threes
(i.e. three petals etc.)
13. The (eu)dicotyledons
This class includes cabbage, hibiscus,
geranium and sweet potato, all of which
have features that differ from those
of the monocotyledons mentioned earlier
(Figure 1.15).
• Two cotyledons are present inside
each seed. Not only do these become the
first photosynthesising leaves when the
seedling emerges above ground, but
generally store food used during the
process of seed germination.
• The leaves are broad.
• The leaves have branched
veins usually radiating
from a central thicker vein called the
midrib with the
branches linked by a network of veins.
• Fewer, thicker roots which are often
joined to one long central root called the
tap root.
• Flowers have parts usually arranged
in fours or fives.
14. Dichotomous keys
Dichotomous means cutting (or dividing) into two.
Organisms are often identified using a book of
illustrations. This is possible only if such a book is available,
and this is the case only with certain organisms such as
common plants, birds and butterflies. Even when such a
book is available, identification will rely on the accuracy
of the illustration, and it can be a time-consuming
process if the organism is at the back of the book! For
these reasons, biologists use dichotomous keys.
A dichotomous key consists of a series of questions.
Each question has two alternative answers. Depending
on which answer is chosen, the user is directed to the
next question. Thus, by starting at the first question, and
then by a process of elimination, a specimen may be
identified.
This process is reliable because it directs the user to
observe particular characteristic features. Also it is
quicker since, at each question, possible alternatives are
eliminated.
Dichotomous keys are usually presented in the following
format. The example chosen is a key in its simplest
form – namely to identify the kingdom into which an
organism should be placed. More detailed keys are used
when determining precisely to which speciesfrom many
within the same genus an organism belongs.
15. 1 Is it unicellular (i.e. made of
only one cell)?
Yes go to 2
No go to 3
2 Does it have a nucleus?
Yes protoctist
No bacterium
3 Does it have hyphae?
Yes fungus
No go to 4
4 Does it have cell walls?
Yes plant
No animal
When identifying one organism from amongst a
large number of possibilities, the most effective
dichotomous key asks questions that each time divides
the remaining possibilities into roughly equal halves. In
this way, half the possible organisms are discarded at
each step
16. Consider the following animals. They are all related, but each is a separate species. Use the
dichotomous key below to determine the species of each.
17. Answers:
A: Deerus magnus B: Deerus pestis C: Deerus octagis
D: Deerus purplinis E: Deerus deafus F: Deerus humpis
As seen above:
the keys are mutually exclusive characteristics of biological organisms.
they often begin with general characteristics and lead to more specific characteristics.
you simply compare the characteristics of an unknown organism against an appropriate
dichotomous key.
if the organism falls into one category, you go to the next indicated couplet.
By following the key and making the correct choices, you should be able to identify your specimen
to the indicated taxonomic level.
