  2. Annelid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annelid

    Annelids are members of the protostomes, one of the two major superphyla of bilaterian animals – the other is the deuterostomes, which includes vertebrates. [68] Within the protostomes, annelids used to be grouped with arthropods under the super-group Articulata ("jointed animals"), as segmentation is obvious in most members of both phyla ...

  3. Articulata (superphylum) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulata_(superphylum)

    Arthropods, on the other hand, display a heterogeneous mix of embryonic cleavage patterns including spiral-like cleavage and radial cleavage patterns. This led researchers to two theories: The first was that the arthropods lineage must have lost the ability to spiral cleave since differentiating from the last common ancestor between annelids ...

  4. Arthropod head problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod_head_problem

    Arthropod heads are typically fused capsules that bear a variety of complex structures such as the eyes, antennae and mouth parts. The challenge that the arthropod head problem has to address is to what extent the various structures of the arthropod head can be resolved into a set of hypothetical ancestral segments.

  5. Mushroom bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_bodies

    Mushroom bodies visible in a Drosophila brain as two stalks. From Jenett et al., 2006 [1]. The mushroom bodies or corpora pedunculata are a pair of structures in the brain of arthropods, including insects and crustaceans, [2] and some annelids (notably the ragworm Platynereis dumerilii). [3]

  6. Animal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal

    Most living animal species belong to the infrakingdom Bilateria, a highly proliferative clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric and significantly cephalised body plan, and the vast majority of bilaterians belong to two large superphyla: the protostomes, which includes organisms such as arthropods, molluscs, flatworms, annelids and ...

  7. Inversion (evolutionary biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(evolutionary...

    Inversion was first noted in 1822 by the French zoologist Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, when he dissected a crayfish (an arthropod) and compared it with the vertebrate body plan. The idea was heavily criticised, but periodically resurfaced, and is now supported by some molecular embryologists.

  9. Terrestrial animal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_animal

    The goat is a terrestrial animal.. Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely on land (e.g. cats, chickens, ants, most spiders), as compared with aquatic animals, which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g. fish, lobsters, octopuses), and semiaquatic animals, which rely on both aquatic and terrestrial habitats (e.g. platypus, most amphibians).
