Chordate Derived Traits Most Apparent in Juveniles

!12Slides by Jonathan Eisen for BIS2C at UC Davis Spring 2016

Notochord


• 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


• Formed by an embryonic folding of the ectoderm • Develops to form the central nervous system in vertebrates

Post Anal Tail


• 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


• 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.

Why are pharyngeal slits NOT considered a synapomorphy (shared derived trait) of chordates?

A. They occur in other deuterostomes B. They are lost in some chordates C. They are modified into gills in vertebrates D. They only occur in the embryo of some chordates

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

Focus on Tunicates


Adult Tunicates

27

• 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.


Adult Tunicates

28

• Solitary tunicates seem to lack all of the synapomorphies of chordates?

• No dorsal hollow nerve cord, no notochord, no postanal tail


Adult Tunicates

29

• Solitary tunicates seem to lack all of the synapomorphies of chordates?

• No dorsal hollow nerve cord, no notochord, no postanal tail

HOW ARE THESE CHORDATES?

Juvenile Tunicates

38

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.

Larvacean tunicates

• Where have we seen big differences between larval forms and adult forms?

Tunicate Diversity


• ~2,000 described species, all marine filter-feeders • Body surrounded by a tunic; a thick cellulose covering • Mostly sessile, one lineage free-swimming • Feeding through incurrent and excurrent siphons

• If you find a novel biochemical activity in some animal …

• Most likely it is NOT actually from the animal

techniques in 1981 and discovered billions

of bacterial cells packed inside the

tubeworm’s trophosome.

Vertebrates

Internal Organs suspended in a coelom

Well-developed circulatory system driven by a ventral heart

Rigid Internal Skeleton


Vertebrate Evolution

• The structural features can support large, active animals.

• Internal skeleton supports an extensive muscular system that gets oxygen from the circulatory system and is controlled by the nervous system.

• These features allowed vertebrates to diversify widely.

59

Phylogeny of the Living Vertebrates



Vertebrates and Land

• All other deuterostomes are marine.

• Vertebrates probably evolved in the oceans or estuarine environments during the Cambrian period.

• They have radiated into marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and aerial environments.

61


Jawless Fishes (hagfish and lampreys)

62


Sister group for all other vertebrates

63

Hagfish


• Weak circulatory system w/ 3 small hearts, a partial cranium, no stomach, no jaws

• NO BONE (skeleton is cartilage); no vertebrae. • Blind and produce large amounts of slime as a defense • They have a specialized structure to capture prey and tear

up dead organisms.

• Development is direct; adults can change sex from year to year.

• Complete cranium and cartilaginous vertebrae. • Complete metamorphosis from filter-feeding larvae (ammocoetes), which are similar to lancelets. • No bone, no jaws, but cartilaginous vertebrae are present • Sucker- like mouth with rasping teeth • Many species are ectoparasites of fish
