Annelids and Allied TaxaMembers of Phylum Sipuncula are benthic marine
animals with unsegmented bodies.
Molecular sequence data place echiurans within phylum Annelida.
Sipunculans - Sister taxon to Annelida.

Phylum AnnelidaAnnelids are
protostome coelomates in superphylum Lophotrochozoa.Spiral, determinate
cleavage.
Nervous system more centralized & circulatory system more complex than in previous phyla.

Phylum AnnelidaAnnelids are segmented worms.They have bodies composed of a series of
fused rings.Earthworms, leeches, clam worms.
![Page 6: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Phylum AnnelidaThe evolutionary innovation shown by annelids is
segmentation (metamerism).Segmentation evolved separately in annelids, arthropods,
and chordates.
The body is divided into a series of segments, each having similar components of all major organ systems.Built in fail-safe.Allows for specialization.

Phylum AnnelidaAnnelids can be found worldwide in marine,
freshwater, and terrestrial habitats.
![Page 9: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Phylum Annelida – Body PlanProstomium –
anterior part followed by segmented body.
Pygidium – terminal portion.
![Page 10: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Phylum Annelida – Body PlanPeritonia (layers of
mesodermal epithelium) of adjacent segments meet to form septa.
Fluid-filled coelom acts as a hydrostatic skeleton.
![Page 11: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PhylogenyTraditionally, annelids are divided among 3 classes:
Class Polychaeta Class Oligochaeta Class Hirudinida
Polychaeta is a paraphyletic class because ancestors of the clitellates arose from within it.
Oligochaeta and Hirudinida form a monophyletic group called Clitellata. Characterized by reproductive structure called a clitellum.
Class Oligochaeta is a paraphyletic group because ancestors of leeches arose from within it.

Clade PleistoannelidaNew
Classification:
Clade Errantia
Clade Sedentaria
![Page 13: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ErrantiaErrant polychaetes
have some features other annelids do not:A well developed
head.Paired appendages,
parapodia, that function as gills and aid in locomotion.
No clitellum.
Many setae
![Page 14: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ErrantiaErrant forms include
pelagic and benthic types and are often predators or scavengers.
![Page 15: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ReproductionGonads are temporary structures in polychaetes.Sexes usually separate.Fertilization is external.Early larva is a trochophore.
![Page 16: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Circulation and RespirationMost have parapodia and gills for gaseous
exchange.Others use the body surface.
Circulation varies. In Nereis a dorsal vessel carries blood forward and a
ventral vessel carries blood posteriorly.Blood flows across between these major vessels in
networks around the parapodia and intestine.
In some, septa are incomplete and coelomic fluid serves circulatory function.
Many polychaetes have respiratory pigments - Hemoglobin, chlorocruorin or hemerythrin.
![Page 17: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Excretion Excretory organs vary, from protonephridia to
metanephridia, and mixed forms.
One pair per metamere.
Inner end (nephrostome) opens into the coelomic cavity.
Coelomic fluid enters the nephrostome.
Selective resorption occurs along the nephridial duct.
![Page 18: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nervous System and Sense Organs Double ventral nerve cord runs length of the
worm with ganglia in each metamere.
Sense organs include:Eyes, nuchal organs and statocysts.Eyes vary from simple eyespots to well-developed
image-resolving eyes similar to mollusc eyes.Nuchal organs are ciliated sensory pits that are
probably chemoreceptive.Some burrowing and tube-building polychaetes use
statocysts to orient their body.
![Page 19: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Representative Errant Polychaetes
Clam Worms: Nereis Errant polychaetes Live in mucus-lined burrows
near low tide level. Come out of hiding places at
night to search for food.Prostomium bears a pair of
palps sensitive to touch and taste, a pair of short sensory tentacles, and two small dorsal eyes sensitive to light.
Peristomium has a ventral mouth, a pair of jaws, and four pairs of sensory tentacles.

Family EchiuridaeApproximately 140
species of marine worms that burrow into mud or sand.
Live in empty snail shells or sand-dollar tests, or rocky crevices.
Found in all oceans.
Length varies from a few millimeters to 40 or 50 cm.
![Page 35: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Family Echiuridae – Form and Function
Sausage-shaped.Inextensible proboscis
anterior to the mouth.Often called spoon
worms”.Simple nervous system
with a ventral nerve running length of the body.
Ciliated groove on the proboscis allows them to gather detritus over the mud while lying buried.
Muscular body wall is covered by a cuticle and epidermis which may be smooth or covered by papillae.
![Page 36: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Family EchiuridaeLarge coelom.Digestive tract long and coiled.Most have a closed circulatory
system with colorless blood.Hemoglobin found in certain
cells and in coelomic corpuscles.
Respiration probably occurs in hindgut which is continually filled and emptied by cloacal irrigation.

Family Echiuridae - Reproduction
Sexes are separate.
Gonads produced by special regions in peritoneum in each sex.
Fertilization usually external.
Early cleavage and trochophore stages similar to annelids.
![Page 38: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Clade ClitellataClass Oligochaeta and Class Hirudinida
Form reproductive structure called a clitellum.Ring of secretory cells found in a band around the body.Permanent in oligochaetes but visible only during
reproductive season in leeches.
Members are derived annelids that lack parapodia.
Hermaphroditic (monoecious) animals that exhibit direct development.
Young develop inside a cocoon secreted by the clitellum, and emerge as small worms.
![Page 39: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
OligochaetaClass Oligochaeta includes earthworms and
many freshwater worms.They possess setae, but not as much as
polychaetes.
![Page 40: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
OligochaetaEarthworms are the
most familiar oligochaetes, found in moist, rich soil.They can burrow deep
underground and remain dormant in a slime chamber during dry weather.
Setae help prevent slipping while burrowing.
![Page 41: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
OligochaetaDarwin wrote about earthworms in
The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms.He noted the beneficial activities of worms, aeration,
moving nutrients up from subsoil, adding nitrogenous products, breakdown of organic matter in dead leaves etc.
An earthworm can ingest its own weight in soil every 24 hours.
![Page 42: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Oligochaeta - Reproduction
Earthworms are hermaphroditic – male and female organs in the same animal.
When mating, two worms are held together by mucus secreted by the clitellum.
![Page 43: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Oligochaeta - Reproduction
After mating, a cocoon forms around the clitellum, as it passes forward it gathers both gametes, and fertilization occurs inside.
![Page 44: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Oligochaeta - Reproduction
Development occurs inside the cocoon and young worms hatch out.Development is
direct, no larval stage.
![Page 45: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Oligochaeta - FeedingFood is stored in a thin-walled crop.Muscular gizzard grinds food into small
pieces.Digestion and absorption occur in intestine.
![Page 46: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Oligochaeta - ExcretionEach segment, except the
1st three and terminal one, have a pair of metanephridia.
A ciliated funnel, the nephrostome, draws in wastes and leads through the septum.
These coil until the nephridial duct ends at a bladder that empties outside at nephridiopore.
Wastes from both the coelom and the blood capillary beds are discharged.
Aquatic oligochaetes excrete toxic ammonia.
![Page 47: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Oligochaeta - Circulation and Respiration
Coelomic fluid and blood transport food, wastes, and respiratory gases.
Blood circulates in a closed system with five main trunks running lengthwise in the body.
Dorsal vessel contains valves and functions as a true heart.Pumps blood anteriorly into 5 pairs of aortic arches.Aortic arches ensure steady pressure in ventral vessel.
![Page 48: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Oligochaeta - Nervous System and Sense Organs
Central nervous system and peripheral nerves.Pair of cerebral ganglia connect around the pharynx to the ganglia of the ventral nerve cord.Neurosecretory cells in brain and ganglia secrete neurohormones. Regulate reproduction,
secondary sex characteristics, and regeneration.
Lack eyes but have many photoreceptors in the epidermis.Free nerve endings in tegument are probably tactile structures.

Hirudinida
Many leeches live as carnivores on small invertebrates.
Some are temporary parasites.Some are permanent parasites – they never
leave their host.

Hirudinida
Leeches are hermaphroditic and have a clitellum (only appears during breeding season), like oligochaetes.
Leeches do not have setae.
They’ve developed suckers for attachment and a specialized gut for storing large amounts of blood.

Hirudinida - Respiration and Excretion
Some fish leeches have gills.
All other leeches exchange gases across epidermis.
10 to 17 pairs of nephridia.
Coelomocytes and other special cells may assist in excretion.

Hirudinida - Nervous and Sensory Systems
Two “brains”Anterior fused ganglia form a ring around the pharynx.Seven pairs of posterior fused ganglia.
21 pairs of segmental ganglia in between along a double nerve cord.
Epidermis contains free sensory nerve endings and photoreceptor cells.
Pigment-cup ocelli are present.

Hirudinida - CirculationCoelom reduced by invasion of connective tissue.
Forms system of coelomic sinuses and channels.
Some have a typical oligochaete circulatory system.Coelomic system is auxiliary.
Some lack blood vessels and coelomic sinuses serve as only vascular system.

Class HirudinidaLeeches are highly sensitive to stimuli
associated with the presence of prey.Those that feed on mammals are attracted by
warmth.

Phylum SipunculaApproximately 250 species
of benthic marine worms.Sedentary, living in
burrows of mud or sand, snail shells, coral crevices, or among vegetation.
More than ½ restricted to tropical zones.
Some are tiny, slender worms, but most range from 3 to 10 cm in length.
Some are known as “peanut worms” because when disturbed, they contract to a peanut shape.

Phylum Sipuncula - Form and Function
No segmentation or setae.
Slender, retractable introvert or proboscis at anterior end.
Walls of the trunk are muscular.
![Page 59: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Phylum Sipuncula - NutritionSome appear to be detritivores
and others suspension feeders.Some nutrition may come from
dissolved organic matter in the surrounding water.
From burrow or hiding place, they extend tentacles to explore and feed.
Collected organic matter moved from mucus on tentacles to mouth by ciliary action.
Large fluid-filled coelom.Digestive tract is U-shaped.

Phylum Sipuncula - Nervous and Sensory Systems
Bilobed cerebral ganglion behind tentacles.
Ventral cord extends the length of body.

Phylum Sipuncula - ReproductionSexes are separate.
Sex organs develop seasonally within the connective tissue covering the origins of the retractor muscles.
Sex cells are released through the nephridia.
Asexual reproduction occurs by transverse fission.

PhylogenySimilarities in the early development of
molluscs, annelids, and some primitive arthropods indicate that these three groups are probably closely related.Trochophore larvaSpiral cleavageSchizocoelous coelom formation
![Page 64: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Evolutionary Significance of Metamerism
No satisfactory explanation for origins of metamerism and coelom has gained acceptance.
Coelom may have been advantageous as a hydrostatic skeleton.
Coelomic fluid would have acted as a circulatory fluid and reduce need for flame cells everywhere.
Coelom could store gametes for timed release.Would require nervous and endocrine control.

Evolutionary Significance of Metamerism
Unlikely that segmentation is homologous among annelids, arthropods, and chordates.
Current evidence supports the hypothesis that segmentation arose independently multiple times.
![Page 66: Segmented Worms Chapter 17. Annelids and Allied Taxa Phylum Annelida Clade Pleistoannelida Errantia Sedentaria Phylum Sipuncula.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d345503460f94a0ab10/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Evolutionary Significance of Metamerism
Selective advantage of a segmented body for annelids appears to lie in the efficiency of burrowing.
However, does not explain segmentation in arthropods given the rigidity of the exoskeleton.

PhylogenyMolluscs and annelids share many
developmental features so are presumed to be closely related.
However, shared features are likely to be a retained ancestral feature for lophotrochozoan protostomes.
Molecular analyses place sipunculids closely related to the annelids.
