Arthropods(/ˈɑːrθrəpɒd/ARTH-rə-pod)[22]areinvertebratesin thephylumArthropoda.They possess anexoskeletonwith acuticlemade ofchitin,oftenmineralisedwithcalcium carbonate,a body with differentiated (metameric)segments,and paired jointedappendages.In order to keep growing, they must go through stages ofmoulting,a process by which they shed theirexoskeletonto reveal a new one. They form an extremely diverse group of up to ten million species.
Haemolymphis the analogue ofbloodfor most arthropods. An arthropod has anopen circulatory system,with a body cavity called ahaemocoelthrough which haemolymph circulates to the interiororgans.Like their exteriors, the internal organs of arthropods are generally built of repeated segments. They have ladder-likenervous systems,with pairedventralnerve cordsrunning through all segments and forming pairedgangliain each segment. Their heads are formed by fusion of varying numbers of segments, and theirbrainsare formed by fusion of the ganglia of these segments and encircle theesophagus.Therespiratoryandexcretorysystems of arthropods vary, depending as much on their environment as on thesubphylumto which they belong.
Arthropods use combinations ofcompound eyesandpigment-pitocellifor vision. In most species, the ocelli can only detect the direction from which light is coming, andthe compound eyesare the main source of information, but the main eyes ofspidersare ocelli that can form images and, in a few cases, can swivel to track prey. Arthropods also have a wide range of chemical and mechanical sensors, mostly based on modifications of the many bristles known assetaethat project through their cuticles. Similarly, their reproduction and development are varied; allterrestrialspecies useinternal fertilization,but this is sometimes by indirect transfer of thespermvia an appendage or the ground, rather than by direct injection. Aquatic species use either internal orexternal fertilization.Almost all arthropods lay eggs, with many species giving birth to live young after the eggs have hatched inside the mother; but a few are genuinelyviviparous,such asaphids.Arthropod hatchlings vary from miniature adults to grubs andcaterpillarsthat lack jointed limbs and eventually undergo a totalmetamorphosisto produce the adult form. The level of maternal care for hatchlings varies from nonexistent to the prolonged care provided bysocial insects.
The evolutionary ancestry of arthropods dates back to theCambrianperiod. The group is generally regarded asmonophyletic,and many analyses support the placement of arthropods withcycloneuralians(or their constituent clades) in a superphylumEcdysozoa.Overall, however, thebasalrelationships of animals are not yet well resolved. Likewise, the relationships between various arthropod groups are still actively debated. Today, arthropods contribute to the human food supply both directly as food, and more importantly, indirectly aspollinatorsof crops. Some species are known to spread severe disease to humans,livestock,andcrops.
Etymology
editThe wordarthropodcomes from theGreekἄρθρονárthron'joint',andπούςpous(gen.ποδόςpodos)'foot'or'leg',which together mean "jointed leg",[23]with the word "arthropodes" initially used in anatomical descriptions byBarthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortierpublished in 1832.[1]The designation "Arthropoda" appears to have been first used in 1843 by the German zoologistJohann Ludwig Christian Gravenhorst(1777–1857).[24][1]The origin of the name has been the subject of considerable confusion, with credit often given erroneously toPierre André LatreilleorKarl Theodor Ernst von Sieboldinstead, among various others.[1]
Terrestrial arthropods are often called bugs.[Note 1]The term is also occasionally extended to colloquial names for freshwater or marinecrustaceans(e.g.,Balmain bug,Moreton Bay bug,mudbug) and used by physicians and bacteriologists for disease-causing germs (e.g.,superbugs),[27]but entomologists reserve this term for a narrow category of "true bugs",insects of the orderHemiptera.[27]
Description
editArthropods areinvertebrateswithsegmentedbodies and jointed limbs.[28]Theexoskeletonorcuticlesconsists ofchitin,a polymer ofN-Acetylglucosamine.[29]The cuticle of many crustaceans,beetle mites,the clades Penetini and Archaeoglenini inside the beetle subfamilyPhrenapatinae,[30]and millipedes (except forbristly millipedes) is alsobiomineralizedwithcalcium carbonate.Calcification of the endosternite, an internal structure used for muscle attachments, also occur in someopiliones,[31]and the pupal cuticle of the flyBactrocera dorsaliscontains calcium phosphate.[32]
Diversity
editArthropoda is the largest animalphylumwith the estimates of the number of arthropod species varying from 1,170,000 to 5~10 million and accounting for over 80 percent of all known living animal species.[33][34]One arthropodsub-group,theinsects,includes moredescribed speciesthan any othertaxonomic class.[35]The total number of species remains difficult to determine. This is due to the census modeling assumptions projected onto other regions in order to scale up from counts at specific locations applied to the whole world. A study in 1992 estimated that there were 500,000 species of animals and plants inCosta Ricaalone, of which 365,000 were arthropods.[35]
They are important members of marine, freshwater, land and airecosystemsand one of only two major animal groups that have adapted to life in dry environments; the other isamniotes,whose living members are reptiles, birds and mammals.[36]Both the smallest and largest arthropods arecrustaceans.Thesmallestbelong to the classTantulocarida,some of which are less than 100 micrometres (0.0039 in) long.[37]Thelargestare species in the classMalacostraca,with the legs of theJapanese spider crabpotentially spanning up to 4 metres (13 ft)[38]and theAmerican lobsterreaching weights over 20 kg (44 lbs).
Segmentation
editTheembryosof all arthropods are segmented, built from a series of repeated modules. Thelast common ancestorof living arthropods probably consisted of a series of undifferentiated segments, each with a pair of appendages that functioned as limbs. However, all known living and fossil arthropods have grouped segments intotagmatain which segments and their limbs are specialized in various ways.[36]
The three-part appearance of manyinsectbodies and the two-part appearance ofspidersis a result of this grouping.[40]There are no external signs of segmentation inmites.[36]Arthropods also have two body elements that are not part of this serially repeated pattern of segments, anocular somiteat the front, where the mouth and eyes originated,[36][41]and atelsonat the rear, behind theanus.
Originally, it seems that each appendage-bearing segment had two separate pairs of appendages: an upper, unsegmentedexiteand a lower, segmented endopod. These would later fuse into a single pair ofbiramousappendages united by a basal segment (protopod or basipod), with the upper branch acting as agillwhile the lower branch was used for locomotion.[42][43][39]The appendages of mostcrustaceansand some extinct taxa such astrilobiteshave another segmented branch known asexopods,but whether these structures have a single origin remain controversial.[44][45][39]In some segments of all known arthropods the appendages have been modified, for example to form gills, mouth-parts,antennaefor collecting information,[40]or claws for grasping;[46]arthropods are "likeSwiss Army knives,each equipped with a unique set of specialized tools. "[36]In many arthropods, appendages have vanished from some regions of the body; it is particularly common for abdominal appendages to have disappeared or be highly modified.[36]
The most conspicuous specialization of segments is in the head. The four major groups of arthropods –Chelicerata(sea spiders,horseshoe crabsandarachnids),Myriapoda(symphylans,pauropods,millipedesandcentipedes),Pancrustacea(oligostracans,copepods,malacostracans,branchiopods,hexapods,etc.), and the extinctTrilobita– have heads formed of various combinations of segments, with appendages that are missing or specialized in different ways.[36][47]Despite myriapods and hexapods both having similar head combinations, hexapods are deeply nested within crustacea while myriapods are not, so these traits are believed to have evolved separately. In addition, some extinct arthropods, such asMarrella,belong to none of these groups, as their heads are formed by their own particular combinations of segments and specialized appendages.[48]
Working out the evolutionary stages by which all these different combinations could have appeared is so difficult that it has long been known as "Thearthropod head problem".[49]In 1960, R. E. Snodgrass even hoped it would not be solved, as he found trying to work out solutions to be fun.[Note 2]
Exoskeleton
editArthropod exoskeletons are made ofcuticle,a non-cellular material secreted by theepidermis.[36]Their cuticles vary in the details of their structure, but generally consist of three main layers: theepicuticle,a thin outerwaxycoat that moisture-proofs the other layers and gives them some protection; theexocuticle,which consists ofchitinand chemically hardenedproteins;and theendocuticle,which consists of chitin and unhardened proteins. The exocuticle and endocuticle together are known as theprocuticle.[51]Each body segment and limb section is encased in hardened cuticle. The joints between body segments and between limb sections are covered by flexible cuticle.[36]
The exoskeletons of most aquaticcrustaceansarebiomineralizedwithcalcium carbonateextracted from the water. Some terrestrial crustaceans have developed means of storing the mineral, since on land they cannot rely on a steady supply of dissolved calcium carbonate.[52]Biomineralization generally affects the exocuticle and the outer part of the endocuticle.[51]Two recent hypotheses about the evolution of biomineralization in arthropods and other groups of animals propose that it provides tougher defensive armor,[53]and that it allows animals to grow larger and stronger by providing more rigid skeletons;[54]and in either case a mineral-organiccompositeexoskeleton is cheaper to build than an all-organic one of comparable strength.[54][55]
The cuticle may havesetae(bristles) growing from special cells in the epidermis. Setae are as varied in form and function as appendages. For example, they are often used as sensors to detect air or water currents, or contact with objects; aquatic arthropods usefeather-like setae to increase the surface area of swimming appendages and tofilterfood particles out of water; aquatic insects, which are air-breathers, use thickfelt-like coats of setae to trap air, extending the time they can spend under water; heavy, rigid setae serve as defensive spines.[36]
Although all arthropods use muscles attached to the inside of the exoskeleton to flex their limbs, some still usehydraulicpressure to extend them, a system inherited from their pre-arthropod ancestors;[56]for example, all spiders extend their legs hydraulically and can generate pressures up to eight times their resting level.[57]
Moulting
editThe exoskeleton cannot stretch and thus restricts growth. Arthropods, therefore, replace their exoskeletons by undergoingecdysis(moulting), or shedding the old exoskeleton, theexuviae,after growing a new one that is not yet hardened. Moulting cycles run nearly continuously until an arthropod reaches full size. The developmental stages between each moult (ecdysis) until sexual maturity is reached is called aninstar.Differences between instars can often be seen in altered body proportions, colors, patterns, changes in the number of body segments or head width. After moulting, i.e. shedding their exoskeleton, the juvenile arthropods continue in their life cycle until they either pupate or moult again.[58]
In the initial phase of moulting, the animal stops feeding and its epidermis releases moulting fluid, a mixture ofenzymesthat digests theendocuticleand thus detaches the old cuticle. This phase begins when theepidermishas secreted a newepicuticleto protect it from the enzymes, and the epidermis secretes the new exocuticle while the old cuticle is detaching. When this stage is complete, the animal makes its body swell by taking in a large quantity of water or air, and this makes the old cuticle split along predefined weaknesses where the old exocuticle was thinnest. It commonly takes several minutes for the animal to struggle out of the old cuticle. At this point, the new one is wrinkled and so soft that the animal cannot support itself and finds it very difficult to move, and the new endocuticle has not yet formed. The animal continues to pump itself up to stretch the new cuticle as much as possible, then hardens the new exocuticle and eliminates the excess air or water. By the end of this phase, the new endocuticle has formed. Many arthropods then eat the discarded cuticle to reclaim its materials.[58]
Because arthropods are unprotected and nearly immobilized until the new cuticle has hardened, they are in danger both of being trapped in the old cuticle and of being attacked bypredators.Moulting may be responsible for 80 to 90% of all arthropod deaths.[58]
Internal organs
editArthropod bodies are also segmented internally, and the nervous, muscular, circulatory, and excretory systems have repeated components.[36]Arthropods come from a lineage of animals that have acoelom,a membrane-lined cavity between the gut and the body wall that accommodates the internal organs. The strong, segmented limbs of arthropods eliminate the need for one of the coelom's main ancestral functions, as ahydrostatic skeleton,which muscles compress in order to change the animal's shape and thus enable it to move. Hence the coelom of the arthropod is reduced to small areas around the reproductive and excretory systems. Its place is largely taken by ahemocoel,a cavity that runs most of the length of the body and through whichbloodflows.[59]
Respiration and circulation
editArthropods have opencirculatory systems.Most have a few short, open-endedarteries.In chelicerates and crustaceans, the blood carriesoxygento the tissues, whilehexapodsuse a separate system oftracheae.Many crustaceans and a few chelicerates andtracheatesuserespiratory pigmentsto assist oxygen transport. The most common respiratory pigment in arthropods iscopper-basedhemocyanin;this is used by many crustaceans and a fewcentipedes.A few crustaceans and insects use iron-basedhemoglobin,the respiratory pigment used byvertebrates.As with other invertebrates, the respiratory pigments of those arthropods that have them are generally dissolved in the blood and rarely enclosed incorpusclesas they are in vertebrates.[59]
The heart is a muscular tube that runs just under the back and for most of the length of the hemocoel. It contracts in ripples that run from rear to front, pushing blood forwards. Sections not being squeezed by the heart muscle are expanded either by elasticligamentsor by smallmuscles,in either case connecting the heart to the body wall. Along the heart run a series of paired ostia, non-return valves that allow blood to enter the heart but prevent it from leaving before it reaches the front.[59]
Arthropods have a wide variety of respiratory systems. Small species often do not have any, since their high ratio of surface area to volume enables simple diffusion through the body surface to supply enough oxygen. Crustacea usually have gills that are modified appendages. Many arachnids havebook lungs.[60]Tracheae, systems of branching tunnels that run from the openings in the body walls, deliver oxygen directly to individual cells in many insects, myriapods andarachnids.[61]
Nervous system
editLiving arthropods have paired main nerve cords running along their bodies below the gut, and in each segment the cords form a pair ofgangliafrom whichsensoryandmotornerves run to other parts of the segment. Although the pairs of ganglia in each segment often appear physically fused, they are connected bycommissures(relatively large bundles of nerves), which give arthropod nervous systems a characteristic ladder-like appearance. The brain is in the head, encircling and mainly above the esophagus. It consists of the fused ganglia of the acron and one or two of the foremost segments that form the head – a total of three pairs of ganglia in most arthropods, but only two in chelicerates, which do not have antennae or the ganglion connected to them. The ganglia of other head segments are often close to the brain and function as part of it. In insects these other head ganglia combine into a pair ofsubesophageal ganglia,under and behind the esophagus. Spiders take this process a step further, as all thesegmental gangliaare incorporated into the subesophageal ganglia, which occupy most of the space in the cephalothorax (front "super-segment" ).[62]
Excretory system
editThere are two different types of arthropod excretory systems. In aquatic arthropods, the end-product of biochemical reactions thatmetabolisenitrogenisammonia,which is so toxic that it needs to be diluted as much as possible with water. The ammonia is then eliminated via any permeable membrane, mainly through the gills.[60]All crustaceans use this system, and its high consumption of water may be responsible for the relative lack of success of crustaceans as land animals.[63]Various groups of terrestrial arthropods have independently developed a different system: the end-product of nitrogen metabolism isuric acid,which can be excreted as dry material; theMalpighian tubule systemfilters the uric acid and other nitrogenous waste out of the blood in the hemocoel, and dumps these materials into the hindgut, from which they are expelled asfeces.[63]Most aquatic arthropods and some terrestrial ones also have organs callednephridia( "littlekidneys"), which extract other wastes for excretion asurine.[63]
Senses
editThe stiffcuticlesof arthropods would block out information about the outside world, except that they are penetrated by many sensors or connections from sensors to the nervous system. In fact, arthropods have modified their cuticles into elaborate arrays of sensors. Various touch sensors, mostlysetae,respond to different levels of force, from strong contact to very weak air currents. Chemical sensors provide equivalents oftasteandsmell,often by means of setae. Pressure sensors often take the form of membranes that function aseardrums,but are connected directly to nerves rather than toauditory ossicles.Theantennaeof most hexapods include sensor packages that monitorhumidity,moisture and temperature.[64]
Most arthropods lack balance andaccelerationsensors, and rely on their eyes to tell them which way is up. The self-righting behavior ofcockroachesis triggered when pressure sensors on the underside of the feet report no pressure. However, manymalacostracancrustaceans havestatocysts,which provide the same sort of information as the balance and motion sensors of the vertebrateinner ear.[64]
Theproprioceptorsof arthropods, sensors that report the force exerted by muscles and the degree of bending in the body and joints, are well understood. However, little is known about what other internal sensors arthropods may have.[64]
Optical
editMost arthropods have sophisticated visual systems that include one or more usually both ofcompound eyesand pigment-cupocelli( "little eyes" ). In most cases ocelli are only capable of detecting the direction from which light is coming, using the shadow cast by the walls of the cup. However, the main eyes ofspidersare pigment-cup ocelli that are capable of forming images,[64]and those ofjumping spiderscan rotate to track prey.[65]
Compound eyes consist of fifteen to several thousand independentommatidia,columns that are usuallyhexagonalincross section.Each ommatidium is an independent sensor, with its own light-sensitive cells and often with its ownlensandcornea.[64]Compound eyes have a wide field of view, and can detect fast movement and, in some cases, thepolarization of light.[66]On the other hand, the relatively large size of ommatidia makes the images rather coarse, and compound eyes are shorter-sighted than those of birds and mammals – although this is not a severe disadvantage, as objects and events within 20 cm (8 in) are most important to most arthropods.[64]Several arthropods have color vision, and that of some insects has been studied in detail; for example, the ommatidia of bees contain receptors for both green andultra-violet.[64]
Olfaction
editReproduction and development
editA few arthropods, such asbarnacles,arehermaphroditic,that is, each can have the organs of bothsexes.However, individuals of most species remain of one sex their entire lives.[67]A few species ofinsectsand crustaceans can reproduce byparthenogenesis,especially if conditions favor a "population explosion". However, most arthropods rely onsexual reproduction,and parthenogenetic species often revert to sexual reproduction when conditions become less favorable.[68]The ability to undergomeiosisis widespread among arthropods including both those that reproduce sexually and those that reproduceparthenogenetically.[69]Although meiosis is a major characteristic of arthropods, understanding of its fundamental adaptive benefit has long been regarded as an unresolved problem,[70]that appears to have remained unsettled.
Aquaticarthropods may breed by external fertilization, as for examplehorseshoe crabsdo,[71]or byinternal fertilization,where theovaremain in the female's body and thespermmust somehow be inserted. All known terrestrial arthropods use internal fertilization.Opiliones(harvestmen),millipedes,and some crustaceans use modified appendages such asgonopodsorpenisesto transfer the sperm directly to the female. However, most maleterrestrialarthropods producespermatophores,waterproof packets ofsperm,which the females take into their bodies. A few such species rely on females to find spermatophores that have already been deposited on the ground, but in most cases males only deposit spermatophores when complexcourtship ritualslook likely to be successful.[67]
Most arthropods lay eggs,[67]but scorpions areovoviviparous:they produce live young after the eggs have hatched inside the mother, and are noted for prolonged maternal care.[72]Newly born arthropods have diverse forms, and insects alone cover the range of extremes. Some hatch as apparently miniature adults (direct development), and in some cases, such assilverfish,the hatchlings do not feed and may be helpless until after their first moult. Many insects hatch as grubs orcaterpillars,which do not have segmented limbs or hardened cuticles, andmetamorphoseinto adult forms by entering an inactive phase in which the larval tissues are broken down and re-used to build the adult body.[73]Dragonflylarvae have the typical cuticles and jointed limbs of arthropods but are flightless water-breathers with extendable jaws.[74]Crustaceans commonly hatch as tinynaupliuslarvae that have only three segments and pairs of appendages.[67]
Evolutionary history
editLast common ancestor
editBased on the distribution of sharedplesiomorphicfeatures in extant and fossil taxa, thelast common ancestorof all arthropods is inferred to have been as a modular organism with each module covered by its ownsclerite(armor plate) and bearing a pair of biramouslimbs.[75]However, whether the ancestral limb wasuniramous or biramousis far from a settled debate. This Ur-arthropod had aventralmouth, pre-oral antennae anddorsaleyes at the front of the body. It was assumed to have been a non-discriminatorysedimentfeeder, processing whatever sediment came its way for food,[75]but fossil findings hint that the last common ancestor of both arthropods andPriapulidashared the same specialized mouth apparatus: a circular mouth with rings of teeth used for capturing animal prey.[76]
Fossil record
editIt has been proposed that theEdiacarananimalsParvancorinaandSpriggina,from around555million years ago,were arthropods,[77][78][79]but later study shows that their affinities of being origin of arthropods are not reliable.[80]Small arthropods with bivalve-like shells have been found in Early Cambrian fossil beds dating541 to 539million years agoin China and Australia.[81][82][83][84]The earliest Cambriantrilobitefossils are about 520 million years old, but the class was already quite diverse and worldwide, suggesting that they had been around for quite some time.[85]In theMaotianshan shales,which date back to 518 million years ago, arthropods such asKylinxiaandErratushave been found that seem to representtransitional fossilsbetween stem (e.g.Radiodontasuch asAnomalocaris) and true arthropods.[86][6][43]Re-examination in the 1970s of theBurgess Shalefossils from about505million years agoidentified many arthropods, some of which could not be assigned to any of the well-known groups, and thus intensified the debate about theCambrian explosion.[87][88][89]A fossil ofMarrellafrom the Burgess Shale has provided the earliest clear evidence ofmoulting.[90]
The earliest fossil of likelypancrustaceanlarvae date from about514million years agoin theCambrian,followed by unique taxa likeYicarisandWujicaris.[91]The purported pancrustacean/crustaceanaffinity of some cambrian arthropods (e.g.Phosphatocopina,BradoriidaandHymenocarinetaxa like waptiids)[92][93][94]were disputed by subsequent studies, as they might branch before themandibulatecrown-group.[91]Within the pancrustacean crown-group, onlyMalacostraca,BranchiopodaandPentastomidahave Cambrian fossil records.[91]Crustacean fossils are common from theOrdovicianperiod onwards.[95]They have remained almost entirely aquatic, possibly because they never developedexcretory systemsthat conserve water.[63]
Arthropods provide the earliest identifiable fossils of land animals, from about419million years agoin the LateSilurian,[60]and terrestrial tracks from about450million years agoappear to have been made by arthropods.[96]Arthropods possessed attributes that were easycooptedfor life on land; their existing jointed exoskeletons provided protection against desiccation, support against gravity and a means of locomotion that was not dependent on water.[97]Around the same time the aquatic, scorpion-likeeurypteridsbecame the largest ever arthropods, some as long as 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in).[98]
The oldest knownarachnidis thetrigonotarbidPalaeotarbusjerami,from about420million years agoin the Silurian period.[99][Note 3]Attercopusfimbriunguis,from386million years agoin theDevonianperiod, bears the earliest known silk-producing spigots, but its lack ofspinneretsmeans it was not one of the truespiders,[101]which first appear in the LateCarboniferousover299million years ago.[102]TheJurassicandCretaceousperiods provide a large number of fossil spiders, including representatives of many modern families.[103]The oldest knownscorpionisDolichophonus,dated back to436million years ago.[104]Lots of Silurian and Devonian scorpions were previously thought to begill-breathing, hence the idea that scorpions were primitively aquatic and evolved air-breathingbook lungslater on.[105]However subsequent studies reveal most of them lacking reliable evidence for an aquatic lifestyle,[106]while exceptional aquatic taxa (e.g.Waeringoscorpio) most likely derived from terrestrial scorpion ancestors.[107]
The oldest fossil record ofhexapodis obscure, as most of the candidates are poorly preserved and their hexapod affinities had been disputed. An iconic example is the DevonianRhyniognatha hirsti,dated at396 to 407million years ago,itsmandiblesare thought to be a type found only inwinged insects,which suggests that the earliest insects appeared in the Silurian period.[108]However later study shows thatRhyniognathamost likely represent a myriapod, not even a hexapod.[109]The unequivocal oldest known hexapod andinsectis thespringtailRhyniella,from about410million years agoin the Devonian period, and thepalaeodictyopteranDelitzschala bitterfeldensis,from about325million years agoin the Carboniferous period, respectively.[109]TheMazon Creek lagerstättenfrom the Late Carboniferous, about300million years ago,include about 200 species, some gigantic by modern standards, and indicate that insects had occupied their main modernecological nichesasherbivores,detritivoresandinsectivores.Socialtermitesandantsfirst appear in the EarlyCretaceous,and advanced social bees have been found in Late Cretaceous rocks but did not become abundant until the MiddleCenozoic.[110]
Evolutionary relationships to other animal phyla
editFrom 1952 to 1977, zoologistSidnie Mantonand others argued that arthropods arepolyphyletic,in other words, that they do not share a common ancestor that was itself an arthropod. Instead, they proposed that three separate groups of "arthropods" evolved separately from common worm-like ancestors: thechelicerates,includingspidersandscorpions;the crustaceans; and theuniramia,consisting ofonychophorans,myriapodsandhexapods.These arguments usually bypassedtrilobites,as the evolutionary relationships of this class were unclear. Proponents of polyphyly argued the following: that the similarities between these groups are the results ofconvergent evolution,as natural consequences of having rigid, segmentedexoskeletons;that the three groups use different chemical means of hardening the cuticle; that there were significant differences in the construction of their compound eyes; that it is hard to see how such different configurations of segments and appendages in the head could have evolved from the same ancestor; and that crustaceans havebiramouslimbs with separate gill and leg branches, while the other two groups haveuniramouslimbs in which the single branch serves as a leg.[112]
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Further analysis and discoveries in the 1990s reversed this view, and led to acceptance that arthropods aremonophyletic,in other words they are inferred to share a common ancestor that was itself an arthropod.[113][114]For example,Graham Budd's analyses ofKerygmachelain 1993 and ofOpabiniain 1996 convinced him that these animals were similar to onychophorans and to various Early Cambrian "lobopods",and he presented an" evolutionary family tree "that showed these as" aunts "and" cousins "of all arthropods.[111][115]These changes made the scope of the term "arthropod" unclear, and Claus Nielsen proposed that the wider group should be labelled "Panarthropoda"(" all the arthropods ") while the animals with jointed limbs and hardened cuticles should be called" Euarthropoda "(" true arthropods ").[116]
A contrary view was presented in 2003, when Jan Bergström andHou Xian-guangargued that, if arthropods were a "sister-group" to any of the anomalocarids, they must have lost and then re-evolved features that were well-developed in the anomalocarids. The earliest known arthropods ate mud in order to extract food particles from it, and possessed variable numbers of segments with unspecialized appendages that functioned as both gills and legs. Anomalocarids were, by the standards of the time, huge and sophisticated predators with specialized mouths and grasping appendages, fixed numbers of segments some of which were specialized, tail fins, and gills that were very different from those of arthropods. In 2006, they suggested that arthropods were more closely related tolobopodsandtardigradesthan to anomalocarids.[117]In 2014, it was found that tardigrades were more closely related to arthropods than velvet worms.[118]

Relationships of Ecdysozoa to each other and to annelids,etc.,[119][failed verification]including euthycarcinoids[120] |
Higher up the "family tree", theAnnelidahave traditionally been considered the closest relatives of the Panarthropoda, since both groups have segmented bodies, and the combination of these groups was labelledArticulata.There had been competing proposals that arthropods were closely related to other groups such asnematodes,priapulidsandtardigrades,but these remained minority views because it was difficult to specify in detail the relationships between these groups.
In the 1990s,molecular phylogeneticanalyses ofDNAsequences produced a coherent scheme showing arthropods as members of asuperphylumlabelled Ecdysozoa ( "animals that moult" ), which contained nematodes, priapulids and tardigrades but excluded annelids. This was backed up by studies of the anatomy and development of these animals, which showed that many of the features that supported the Articulata hypothesis showed significant differences between annelids and the earliest Panarthropods in their details, and some were hardly present at all in arthropods. This hypothesis groups annelids with molluscs andbrachiopodsin another superphylum,Lophotrochozoa.
If the Ecdysozoa hypothesis is correct, then segmentation of arthropods and annelids either has evolvedconvergentlyor has been inherited from a much older ancestor and subsequently lost in several other lineages, such as the non-arthropod members of the Ecdysozoa.[121][119]

Aside from the four major living groups (crustaceans,chelicerates,myriapodsandhexapods), a number of fossil forms, mostly from the early Cambrian period, are difficult to place taxonomically, either from lack of obvious affinity to any of the main groups or from clear affinity to several of them.Marrellawas the first one to be recognized as significantly different from the well-known groups.[48]
Modern interpretations of the basal, extinctstem-groupof Arthropoda recognised the following groups, from most basal to most crownward:[123][122]
- The"Giant" or "Siberiid Lobopodians",such asJianshanopodia,SiberionandMegadictyon,are the most basalgradein the total-group Arthropoda.
- The"Gilled Lobopodians",such asKerygmachela,PambdelurionandOpabinia,are the second most basal grade.
- TheRadiodonta,which traditionally known as anomalocaridids come in third position, and are thought to bemonophyletic.
- A possible "upper stem-group" assemblage of more uncertain position[122]but contained withinDeuteropoda:[123]theFuxianhuiida,Megacheira,and multiple "bivalved forms" includingIsoxyidaandHymenocarina.
TheDeuteropodais a recently established clade uniting the crown-group (living) arthropods with these possible "upper stem-group" fossils taxa.[123]The clade is defined by important changes to the structure of the head region such as the appearance of a differentiateddeutocerebralappendage pair, which excludes more basal taxa like radiodonts and "gilled lobopodians".[123]
Controversies remain about the positions of various extinct arthropod groups. Some studies recover Megacheira as closely related to chelicerates, while others recover them as outside the group containing Chelicerate and Mandibulata as stem-group euarthropods.[124]The placement of theArtiopoda(which contains the extinct trilobites and similar forms) is also a frequent subject of dispute.[125]The main hypotheses position them in the cladeArachnomorphawith the Chelicerates. However, one of the newer hypotheses is that the chelicerae have originated from the same pair of appendages that evolved into antennae in the ancestors ofMandibulata,which would place trilobites, which had antennae, closer to Mandibulata than Chelicerata, in the cladeAntennulata.[124][126]Thefuxianhuiids,usually suggested to be stem-group arthropods, have been suggested to be Mandibulates in some recent studies.[124]TheHymenocarina,a group of bivalved arthropods, previously thought to have been stem-group members of the group, have been demonstrated to be mandibulates based on the presence of mandibles.[122]
Evolution and classification of living arthropods
editThe phylum Arthropoda is typicallysubdividedinto foursubphyla,of which one isextinct:[127]
- Artiopodsare an extinct group of formerly numerousmarine animalsthat disappeared in thePermian–Triassic extinction event,though they were in decline prior to this killing blow, having been reduced to one order in theLate Devonian extinction.They contain groups such as thetrilobites.
- Cheliceratescomprise the marinesea spidersandhorseshoe crabs,along with the terrestrialarachnidssuch asmites,harvestmen,spiders,scorpionsand related organisms characterized by the presence ofchelicerae,appendagesjust above/in front of themouthparts.Chelicerae appear in scorpions and horseshoe crabs as tinyclawsthat they use in feeding, but those of spiders have developed asfangsthat injectvenom.
- Myriapodscomprisemillipedes,centipedes,pauropodsandsymphylans,characterized by having numerousbody segmentseach of which bearing one or two pairs of legs (or in a few cases being legless). All members are exclusively terrestrial.
- Pancrustaceanscompriseostracods,barnacles,copepods,malacostracans,cephalocaridans,branchiopods,remipedesandhexapods.Most groups are primarilyaquatic(two notable exceptions beingwoodliceand hexapods, which are both purelyterrestrial) and are characterized by havingbiramousappendages. The most abundant group of pancrustaceans are the terrestrial hexapods, which compriseinsects,diplurans,springtails,andproturans,with sixthoraciclegs.
Thephylogenyof the major extant arthropod groups has been an area of considerable interest and dispute.[128]Recent studies strongly suggest that Crustacea, as traditionally defined, isparaphyletic,with Hexapoda having evolved from within it,[129][130]so that Crustacea and Hexapoda form a clade,Pancrustacea.The position ofMyriapoda,Chelicerataand Pancrustacea remains unclear as of April 2012[update].In some studies, Myriapoda is grouped with Chelicerata (formingMyriochelata);[131][132]in other studies, Myriapoda is grouped with Pancrustacea (formingMandibulata),[129]or Myriapoda may be sister to Chelicerata plus Pancrustacea.[130]
The following cladogram shows the internal relationships between all the livingclassesof arthropods as of the late 2010s,[133][134][135]as well as the estimated timing for some of the clades:[136]

Interaction with humans
editCrustaceanssuch ascrabs,lobsters,crayfish,shrimp,andprawnshave long been part of human cuisine, and are now raised commercially.[137]Insects and their grubs are at least as nutritious as meat, and are eaten both raw and cooked in many cultures, though not most European, Hindu, and Islamic cultures.[138][139]Cookedtarantulasare considered a delicacy inCambodia,[140][141][142]and by thePiaroa Indiansof southernVenezuela,after the highly irritant hairs – the spider's main defense system – are removed.[143]Humans alsounintentionally eatarthropods in other foods,[144]and food safety regulations lay down acceptable contamination levels for different kinds of food material.[Note 4][Note 5]The intentional cultivation of arthropods and other small animals for human food, referred to asminilivestock,is now emerging inanimal husbandryas an ecologically sound concept.[148]Commercial butterfly breedingprovides Lepidoptera stock tobutterfly conservatories,educational exhibits, schools, research facilities, and cultural events.
However, the greatest contribution of arthropods to human food supply is bypollination:a 2008 study examined the 100 crops that FAO lists as grown for food, and estimated pollination's economic value as €153 billion, or 9.5 per cent of the value of world agricultural production used for human food in 2005.[149]Besides pollinating,beesproducehoney,which is the basis of a rapidly growing industry and international trade.[150]
The red dyecochineal,produced from a Central American species of insect, was economically important to theAztecsandMayans.[151]While the region was underSpanishcontrol, it becameMexico's second most-lucrative export,[152]and is now regaining some of the ground it lost to synthetic competitors.[153]Shellac,a resin secreted by a species of insect native to southern Asia, was historically used in great quantities for many applications in which it has mostly been replaced by synthetic resins, but it is still used inwoodworkingand as afood additive.The blood of horseshoe crabs contains a clotting agent,Limulus Amebocyte Lysate,which is now used to test thatantibioticsand kidney machines are free of dangerousbacteria,and to detectspinal meningitis.Forensic entomologyuses evidence provided by arthropods to establish the time and sometimes the place of death of a human, and in some cases the cause.[154]Recently insects have also gained attention as potential sources of drugs and other medicinal substances.[155]
The relative simplicity of the arthropods' body plan, allowing them to move on a variety of surfaces both on land and in water, have made them useful as models forrobotics.The redundancy provided by segments allows arthropods andbiomimeticrobots to move normally even with damaged or lost appendages.[156][157]
Disease[158] | Insect | Cases per year | Deaths per year |
---|---|---|---|
Malaria | Anophelesmosquito | 267 M | 1 to 2 M |
Dengue fever | Aedesmosquito | ? | ? |
Yellow fever | Aedesmosquito | 4,432 | 1,177 |
Filariasis | Culexmosquito | 250 M | unknown |
Although arthropods are the most numerous phylum on Earth, and thousands of arthropod species are venomous, they inflict relatively few serious bites and stings on humans. Far more serious are the effects on humans of diseases likemalariacarried byblood-suckinginsects. Other blood-sucking insects infect livestock with diseases that kill many animals and greatly reduce the usefulness of others.[158]Tickscan causetick paralysisand severalparasite-borne diseases in humans.[159]A few of the closely relatedmitesalso infest humans, causing intense itching,[160]and others causeallergicdiseases, includinghay fever,asthma,andeczema.[161]
Many species of arthropods, principally insects but also mites, are agricultural and forest pests.[162][163]The miteVarroa destructorhas become the largest single problem faced bybeekeepersworldwide.[164]Efforts to control arthropod pests by large-scale use ofpesticideshave caused long-term effects on human health and onbiodiversity.[165]Increasing arthropodresistanceto pesticides has led to the development ofintegrated pest managementusing a wide range of measures includingbiological control.[162]Predatorymites may be useful in controlling some mite pests.[166][167]
