Development & Growth
Types of eggs:
Microlecithal – iso-lecithal distribution of yolk… found in placental mammals and amphioxus
Mesolecithal – telolecithal distribution of yolk concentrated at the vegetal pole… found in lampreys, bony fish, amphibians
Macrolecithal – telolecithal eggs… found in marine lampreys, cartilaginous fish, reptiles, monotremes

Development & Growth
Oviparity & Viviparity:
Animals that “lay” their eggs are considered oviparous.
Animals that give birth are considered viviparous.
If the embryo could develop without maternal tissue then ovoviviparous, while dependent strategies are euviviparous
No viviparous turtles, crocodiles, or birds

Development & Growth
Viviparity:
Histotrophic vs. placental nourishment

Development & Growth
Fertilization:
Internal and external modes exist
In which type of “–parity” are eggs by necessity internally fertilized?
Usually external fertilization requires millions and millions of sperm
Urodeles (salamanders) may use spermatophores and spermatheca

triturus_cristatus_mazzei.jpg
Development & Growth
Cleavage and the blastula:
As fertilized egg cells divide this is called cleavage.
What happens to cell size initially?
Hollow sphere is called the blast-ulaand it contains a hollow space… the blastocoel.
Excessive yolk impedes cell division… such that a blastoderm develops on an otherwise undivided yolk.
What taxonomic group(s) would utilize this mode?
Early Development
Let’s review what we can infer since we know this is “Chordate” development…
What type of cleavage pattern?
What does the 1st opening become?
How many germ layers do we have?
Early Development
Extra-embryonic membranes include:
Yolk sac, amnion, chorion and allantois
http://embryology.med.unsw.edu.au/Movies/larsen/fetalmembranes.jpg
Extra-embryonic membranes
Yolk sac is a highly vascular membrane that surrounds the yolk.
Empties into the midgut
Can secrete enzymes to digest yolk
Can serve as respiratory organ in viviparous amphibians/fish
Can absorb nutrients from mother… functions as a simple yolk sac placenta or a “pseudoplacenta”
http://www.minkhollow.ca/HatchingProgram/Resources/Pictures/embryo-1-wk.JPG
What does a yolk sac accomplish? How?
Extra-embryonic membranes
Reptiles and mammals develop inside 2 sacs… Amnion and Chorion:
Amnion surrounds the embryo
Chorion surrounds the amnion and the yolk sac
Important feature that allows eggs to be laid on land (with less dependence on water)
Amniotic fluid surrounds the embryo and is contained by the amnion
Where does this water come from?
Extra-embryonic membranes
Allantois is an evagination of the cloaca
Communicates with the inner surface of the chorion forming the chorioallantoic membrane
Reptiles and monotremes aids in transferring gases (respiration)
In most mammals serves as a membrane of the placenta… transferring nutrients and wastes.
Base of this sac becomes the urinary bladder

Extra-embryonic membranes
Figure 2.1 Selected developmental states of a turtle embryo showing the formation of the extra-embryonic membranes. Clockwise from upper left: shelled egg showing early embryogenesis; embryonic disc during neural tube formation and initiation of amniotic folds; embryo during early morphogenesis as somites form showing rearward growth of the amniotic fold as it envelopes the embryo; embryo in early organogenesis with initial outgrowth of the allantois; near-term embryo encased in amnion showing the yolk-sac attachment protruding ventrally.Adapted from Agassiz, 1857.
Figure 2.2 Paedogenesis and isogenesis in Ambystoma talpoideum. The life history of A. talpoideum demonstrates the complexities of trait development patterns. The ancestral condition for this species is metamorphosis into a terrestrial salamander in less than one year. Under certain environmental conditions, paedogenesis occurs when metamorphosis is delayed and results in sexual maturation of the individual with retention of larval traits (i.e., the larval morphology) producing paedotypic individuals. Isogenesis occurs when similar early larvae follow different developmental trajectories but ultimately produce similar adults. The adults are termed isotypic individuals. Figure courtesy of S. M. Reilly.
Development & GrowthHeterochrony
Figure 2.3 The concept of heterochrony can be applied to a wide variety of traits. The New World microhylid, Dermatonotus muelleri, has a tiny head relative to its body and, because other New World microhylids are similar, truncation of head development likely occurred in an ancestor to the clade of New World microhylids. (Luis Gasparini)

Development & Growth
Figure 2.8 General growth pattern trends for amphibians and reptiles. Top: comparison of indeterminant and determinant growth. When growth is relatively indeterminant, constant growth rate as a juvenile is followed by slower, but continuous growth once sexual maturity is reached. When growth is determinant or asymptotic, a sigmoid pattern during juvenile stages is followed by slower growth after sexual maturity and finally curtailment of growth. Bottom graph: hypothetical growth for an ectotherm in a seasonal environment follows a pattern of rapid growth during equable seasons and greatly reduced or no growth during adverse seasons.

• Details from Chpt. 2 (skin)• Chromatophores
– Xanthophore– Iridophore– Melanophore
What are Lissamphibia features?
Figure 2.14 The arrangement of chromatophores in amphibian skin, called the dermal chromatophore unit. The unit consists of xanthophores, which give yellow, orange, or red coloration; the iridophores, which reflect light and cause bright colors; and the basal melanophores, which have dendritic processes that extend between the xanthophores and the iridophores.
Figure 2.15 Frog skin contains a variety of pigments that often result in bizarre intricate patterns, as in this Amazonian Ceratophrys cornuta (Janalee P. Caldwell).

• Amniota• Mammalia• Reptilia/Aves
What are Reptilia features?
• Amniote skulls– Stem reptiles lacked
temporal fossae (An-apsid skull)
– Modern reptiles have two fossae (di-apsid skull)
– Ancestors to mammals have a single fossae (syn-apsid skulls)
Skeleton
Figure 2.20 Evolution of skull openings (fenestre) in modern reptiles. Variation exists in the openings (fenestre) behind the orbit and the position of the postorbital (Po) and squamosal (Sq) bones that form the arch from the orbit to the back of the skull. The anapsid (closed) condition is thought to be ancestral. Lizards (including snakes) clearly have modified diapsid (two fenestre) skulls. Turtles, which have been placed historically in the Parareptilia based on the absence of a second fenestra, more likely have a highly modified diapsid skull in which both fenestre have closed. Other bones shown include the quadratojugal and the jugal. Adapted from Kardong, 2006.
Skeleton
Figure 2.21 Evolution of jaw structure and function in squamates. Clockwise from upper left, ancestors of squamates had rigid jaws and skulls such that the skull lifted as a unit when opening the mouth (metakinesis). The "hanging jaw" of squamates (streptostyly) allowed rotation of the lower jaws on the quadrate bone. Scleroglossans have kinetic joints in the skull located behind the eyes (mesokinesis), and snakes have an extra joint located anterior to the eyes (prokinesis). Increased flexibility of the skull allows greater prey-handling ability. The red circle with a cross indicates focal point of rotation.

Figure 2.26 Graphic showing primitive lateral-sequence gait of a salamander. The center of mass (red circle) remains within the triangle of support (dashed line), and three of the four limbs meet the ground at the same time. During a trot gait (not shown), diagonal limbs meet the ground at the same time and the center of gravity falls on a line connecting those limbs. Often, the tail is used to stabilize the trot gait, which forms a triangle of support. Redrawn from Kardong, 2006.

Figure 2.35 A variety of glands occur in the oral region of the head of reptiles, although not all reptiles have all glands shown. Premaxillary, nasal, and palatine glands secrete mucous to lubricate the mouth. Lacrimal and Harderian glands secrete fluids that wet the vomeronasal region and the eyes. The Duvernoy's gland occurs in venomous snakes and produces venom.

The central chamber of a single-chambered lung is not divided by a major septum, although small niches are commonly present along the wall. The transitional lung has a central lumen partially divided by large septum. The multichambered lung is partitioned into numerous chambers of various sizes; all chambers communicate with the intrapulmonary bronchus via an airway. Adapted from Perry, 1983.
