What are the two major subgroups of protostomes?
Lophotrochozoa (includes mollusks, annelids, flatworms—typically grow incrementally) and Ecdysozoa (includes arthropods and nematodes—grow by molting an exoskeleton).
What type of group are protostomes based on molecular phylogenies?
Monophyletic group, meaning all protostomes share a common ancestor and include all descendants of that ancestor.
Which protostome phyla are most diverse and species-rich?
Phyla Mollusca and Arthropoda—together, they make up the majority of protostome diversity.
What key events triggered protostome diversification?
The transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats, the evolution of diverse body plans and appendages, complex mouthparts, and the innovation of metamorphosis.
Examples of protostomes?
Arthropods (e.g., insects, spiders, crustaceans), Mollusks (e.g., snails, clams, octopuses, squids), flatworms, annelids, rotifers, and nematodes.
Cleavage pattern in protostomes?
Spiral cleavage—cells divide at oblique angles in early embryonic development, resulting in a spiral arrangement.
What does the blastopore become in protostomes?
The mouth, distinguishing them from deuterostomes where it becomes the anus.
How does coelom form in protostomes?
By schizocoely—solid mesodermal mass splits to form the coelomic cavity.
Protostomes have what type of symmetry and tissue organization?
Bilateral symmetry; triploblastic (three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm); most are coelomates.
How many major protostome phyla account for 99.5% of known species?
Eight major phyla make up nearly all known protostome species diversity.
Difference in growth between Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa?
Lophotrochozoa grow incrementally by adding body mass, while Ecdysozoa grow by molting a cuticle (ecdysis).
How many total protostome phyla are there?
22 known protostome phyla in total, with 8 being the most dominant and diverse.
What is a lophophore?
A ring of ciliated tentacles surrounding the mouth used for suspension feeding, found in some Lophotrochozoans (e.g., brachiopods).
What is a trochophore?
A ciliated, free-swimming larval stage characteristic of many Lophotrochozoans like mollusks and annelids.
What defines ecdysozoan growth?
Periodic molting (ecdysis) of a protective cuticle or exoskeleton to allow growth.
Two most prominent ecdysozoan phyla?
Nematoda (roundworms) and Arthropoda (insects, arachnids, crustaceans).
