Carlos Linnaeus
Father of binomial nomenclature(taxonomy)
1707-1778*
Taxa
whose evolutionary relationships interest you*
Clades
Determine charaters and examine the character states(which taxon does and does not have charatcers)
polarity
whether each character stateis original or derived in each taxon
outgroups
to compare with the taxa you are considering helps you determine the polarity
Synapomorphies
shared or derived characters
plesiomorphies
original or primitive characteristics
Homoplasy
convergence
Monophyletic phylogeny
contains the most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants
paraphyletic group
contains the most recent common ancestors of all members and some but not all of its descendants: goal is to avoid:does not reflect real ancestry
polyphyletic
group does not contain the most recent common ancestor: goal is to avoid:does not reflect real ancestry
Phylum Porifera Characteristics
- Asymetrical
- four cell walls
- water circulations
- No tissues or organs
- most of the species are marine
Porifera cell types
- Pinacocytes
- Archeaocytes
- Choanocytes
- Mesohyl
Pinacocytes
these cells form the outer surface of the sponge and may form porocytes which regulate water circulation
Archeaocytes
these cells are amoebiod like cells that are specialized for reproduction, secreting skeletal elements(spicules) transporting and storing food, and forming contractile rings.
Collencytes
secrete fibrillar collagen

monophyletic phylogeny
contains the most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants
monophyletic phylogeny
contains the most recent common ancestor of all memebers and some but not all of its descendants.
Choanocytes
flagellated cells that have a collar like ring
flagellum creates a water current to draw water with food from the outside the sponge
mesohyl
forms a gelatinous matrix in the sponge
Phylum Cnidaria characteristics
- Radial symmery
- Tissue-level organization
- Gastrovascular cavity(one way street no anus)
- Nervous system
- Specialized cells, called nematocyst, used in defense and feeding
