Acanthocephala / k n o s f l / (Greek , akanthos, thorn + , kephale, head) is a phylum of parasitic worms known as acanthocephalans, thorny-headed worms, or spiny-headed worms, characterized by the presence of an eversible proboscis, armed with spines, which it uses to pierce and hold the gut wall of its host. In 1753, the first modern dinoflagellates were described by Henry Baker as "Animalcules which cause the The Placozoa / p l k z o / are a basal form of marine free-living (non-parasitic) multicellular organism. Approximately 1060 species are known. Characteristics. The proportion of undescribed species is very high. Etymology. The Bilateria / b a l t r i / or bilaterians are animals with bilateral symmetry as an embryo, i.e. The biological classification system of life introduced by British zoologist Thomas Cavalier-Smith involves systematic arrangements of all life forms on earth. Riftia pachyptila, commonly known as the giant tube worm and less commonly known as the Giant beardworm, is a marine invertebrate in the phylum Annelida (formerly grouped in phylum Pogonophora and Vestimentifera) related to tube worms commonly found in the intertidal and pelagic zones. Three genera have been found: the classical Trichoplax adhaerens, Hoilungia hongkongensis, and Polyplacotoma mediterranea, where the last appears most basal.The last two have been found only since 2017. 2002. Phoronids (scientific name Phoronida, sometimes called horseshoe worms) are a small phylum of marine animals that filter-feed with a lophophore (a "crown" of tentacles), and build upright tubes of chitin to support and protect their soft bodies. They live in most of the oceans and seas, including the Arctic Ocean but excluding the Antarctic Ocean, and between the intertidal zone Insect-crustacean relationships: Insights from comparative developmental and molecular studies. The term "dinoflagellate" is a combination of the Greek dinos and the Latin flagellum.Dinos means "whirling" and signifies the distinctive way in which dinoflagellates were observed to swim.Flagellum means "whip" and this refers to their flagella.. History. The endogenous or constitutive dormancy depends on characteristics of the spore itself; for example, metabolic features. The nematodes (/ n m t o d z / NEM--tohdz or NEEM-Greek: ; Latin: Nematoda) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes), with plant-parasitic nematodes also known as eelworms.

Akam, M. 2000. The trait that is common to all invertebrates is the absence of a vertebral column Other invertebrates include the Nemertea or ribbon worms, and the Sipuncula. The word "animal" comes from the Latin animalis, meaning 'having breath', 'having soul' or 'living being'. The Sipuncula or Sipunculida (common names sipunculid worms or peanut worms) is a class containing about 162 species of unsegmented marine annelid worms.The name Sipuncula is from the genus name Sipunculus, and comes from the Latin siphunculus meaning a "small tube".. Sipuncula was once considered a phylum, but was demoted to a class of Annelida, based on However, Superphylum Deuterostomia was redefined in 1995 based on DNA molecular sequence analyses when the lophophorates were removed from it and combined with other protostome The Chlamydiota (synonym Chlamydiae) are a bacterial phylum and class whose members are remarkably diverse, including pathogens of humans and animals, symbionts of ubiquitous protozoa, and marine sediment forms not yet well understood.

Mitochondrial genomes of Galathealinum, Helobdella, and Platynereis: Sequence and gene arrangement comparisons indicate that Pogonophora is not a phylum and Annelida and Arthropoda are not sister taxa. Life is a quality that distinguishes matter that has biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from that which does not, and is defined by the capacity for growth, reaction to stimuli, metabolism, energy transformation, and reproduction. The species identified have been isolated from fresh water, marine and soil environments and human faeces.A number of as-yet uncultivated species have been identified in association with eukaryotic hosts including extrusive explosive ectosymbionts of protists and A protist (/ p r o t s t /) is any eukaryotic organism (that is, an organism whose cells contain a cell nucleus) that is not an animal, plant, or fungus.While it is likely that protists share a common ancestor (the last eukaryotic common ancestor), the exclusion of other eukaryotes means that protists do not form a natural group, or clade.

The term "metazoa" is from Ancient Greek (meta, used to mean "later") and (zia, plural of Systematics History. The phylum Bacteroidota (synonym Bacteroidetes) is composed of three large classes of Gram-negative, nonsporeforming, anaerobic or aerobic, and rod-shaped bacteria that are widely distributed in the environment, including in soil, sediments, and sea water, as well as in the guts and on the skin of animals.. The name is used in two very different senses, so care is needed to determine the use by a particular author. Initially, Deuterostomia included the phyla Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, Chaetognatha, and Phoronida based on morphological and embryological characteristics. The English word fungus is directly adopted from the Latin fungus (mushroom), used in the writings of Horace and Pliny.
