Similarities Between Craniates And Arthropods

There are many ways that the Craniates and the Arthropods have adapted their bodies and their lives to be able to leave their aquatic habitats and live on land. There are many adaptations that happen both on the outside and the inside of the animal that make it possible for life outside of the water. In the Craniates, anything from the cranium, notochord, endoskeleton, central nervous system, brain, lungs and gill slits, and the ability to maintain their body temperature in the inside and the well-developed jaws and their limbs on the outside allow them to live on land. In the Arthropods, they owe their success to the nervous system and brain on the inside and the exoskeleton, compound eye, wings on the outside as well as their ability to ambush predators and live entwined with plants. In both taxa, there are many successes and without these adaptations, the Craniates and the Arthropods would still be underwater. The Craniates have many adaptations on the inside of their body that allow
They wait before attacking their prey. This has helped them in the terrestrial environment because they are able to watch their prey more before attacking and they use very little amounts of energy to attack. They are more willing to take prey in different environments so that they can get the most food and nutrition possible. The last evolutionary niche that the Arthropods have that have made the transition from the aquatic to terrestrial habitats easy is the ability to live entwine with the plants. The Arthropods create a good relationship with the terrestrial plants. The plants provide protection as well as the ability to feed one another. The plants can feed the animal and the animal can feed the plant. It can also allow the animals to reproduce because of the plant mimicking the opposite sex. This concrete home, the source of food, and reproduction strategy has made the Arthropods ability to live outside of the water much
