terrestrial insects to the aquatic king crab equipped with a 12 foot arm span‚ arthropods are evident in every habitat on Earth. Despite the diversified phylum‚ all members share a basic body structure containing a jointed skeletal covering with jointed appendages. An arthropod’s unique jointed exoskeleton provides support as well as locomotion with the help of the muscle system. Since they have an exoskeleton‚ arthropods lack locomotive cilia. The exoskeleton is composed of a epicuticle‚ a thin outer

Arthropods are part of the largest and most diverse phylum in the animal kingdom. The phylum which I am speaking of is called Arthropoda‚ which is Latin for "jointed feet." Arthropods are arranged of more than one million invertebrate species within four subphyla. The four subphyla consist of five classes of Uniramia including insects‚ three classes of Chelicerata including horseshoe crabs and arachnids‚ Trilobita (which are extinct)‚ and Crustacea. When you break down an arthropod you will find

ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURALLY IMPORTANT RICE FIELD ARTHROPODS J. Diraviam P. G. and Research Department of Zoology Loyola College Chennai - 600 034 Studies on the ecology and biodiversity of arthropods which are agriculturally important were undertaken from January 2002 to December 2003 in five seasons in 13 farmers’ rice fields in the districts of Kancheepuram‚ Tiruvallur‚ Vellore and Villupuram of the north-eastern zone of Tamil Nadu State‚ India. Most of the studies

ARTHROPODS The other complex compartmentalized nervous system is found in arthropods (see the diagram). The arthropodan brain consists of three main regions: the protocerebrum‚deutocerebrum‚ and tritocerebrum. The anterior protocerebrum‚ which receives the nerves of the eyes and other organs‚ contains centres‚ or neuropils‚ such as the optic centres and bodies known as corpora pedunculata. The neuropils function as integrative systems for the anterior sense organs‚ especially the eyes‚ and in control

affect the arthropod diversity. It is known that most eukaryotic organisms are arthropods. However‚ the abundance and richness vary from place to place. It is important to understand the difference across habitat types because it might help to determine which arthropod communities are going to be find in a period of time. Many research have been conducted in order to determine arthropod diversity. Basset‚ Cizek‚ Cuénoud‚ Didham‚ Guilhaumon‚ Missa and Curletti (2012) conducted a study on arthropod diversity

extinct. Countless arthropods remain undescribed (not yet named and studied)‚ and the actual number of living species could be as high as ten million or more. Some of the more well known arthropods include insects‚ crustaceans‚ and spiders‚ as well as the fossil trilobites. Arthropods are found in virtually every known marine (ocean-based)‚ freshwater‚ and terrestrial (land-based) ecosystem‚ and vary tremendously in their habitats‚ life histories‚ and dietary preferences. Arthropods are characterized

that arthropods evolved more recently from an annelid like ancestor then a nematode ancestor because of their similar body plan and segmentation. The other hypothesis is that arthropods evolved more recently from a nematode ancestor than an annelid like ancestor because of their shared ecdysis trait.
