about 84% of all known animal species. From tiny 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.

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

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

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

Insects are the most successful animal group. They are extremely diverse and abundant. They are present in the sea‚ in freshwater‚ on land and in the air. They occupy every ecological niche. Arthropods are not only extremely diverse but are also numerous as individuals. There are approximately 200 million insects for every human being on the Earth.(1) They have a huge impact on humans and our activities. They are pests of both food and animals‚ and are responsible for disease transmission. They also

The Arthropod Story In the entire Animalia Kingdom 83% are Arthropods. Some examples of arthropods are: Spiders‚ scorpions‚ crustaceans‚ and centipedes. We should study Arthropods because there are so many of them that if something happened to remove them from Earth life would not be possible. The crustacean Gammarus wilkitzkii lives on the underside of the Artic pack ice‚ and feeds on other crustaceans. Crabs live up to a mile below the ocean surface in the

Pesky Arthropods Oh‚ I absolutely despise those eight-legged arthropods capable of making you yelp‚ jump and hold onto something for dear life. The way the arachnid stares at you with those black beady eyes really gives you the heebie-jeebies. As it crawls towards you‚ you are absolutely petrified trying to figure out a way to execute it the most lethal way possible. Although‚ you may be a thousand times bigger than the specimen‚ it’s still able to give you a shiver down your spine. You might have
