1 Out of Chaos, Order(s) 2017 Master Gardener College Erwin Duke Elsner Consumer Horticulture/Small Fruit Extension Educator 520 W. Front Street Phylum Arthropoda Insects and their relatives Phylum Arthropoda Insects and their relatives Lots and lots of relatives Arthropods dominate the planet by number of species Estimates vary, but conservatively: 6 to 10 million species Over 80 % of all animal species 900,000 described species of insects Millions more undescribed or undiscovered United States estimates: 91,000 insect species described 73,000 yet to be described 23,700 beetles 19,600 flies 17,500 bees, wasps and ants 11,500 moths and butterflies Portions of animal kingdom Portion of all known species 1
2 Time for a little history Carolus Linnaeus Founder of binomial nomenclature that is the basis of taxonomy Words and Terms matter Nomenclature Classification Taxonomy Systematics Example of Classification: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Example of Classification: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ AEIOU and sometimes Y Example of Classification: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ AEFHIKMNTVWXYZ BCDGJOPRSU Taxonomy: The science of classification; laws and principles covering the classifying of objects A system of arranging animals and plants into natural, related groups based on some factor common to each, as structure, embryology, or biochemistry 2
3 Systematics: The science or a method of classification, especially taxonomy Based on evolutionary principles and lineages of groups of species Ideally Taxonomic groupings should represent the phylogenetic relationships of organisms Representative of true relatedness of species- phylogenetics Phylogeny: The lines of descent or evolutionary development of any plant or animal species The origin and evolution of a division, group or race of animals or plants Reality In most cases, the genetic information is not available and groupings are based on observable characteristics A binomial Genus and species Unique to each living organism Scientific Names This butterfly is known as Papilio glaucus, around the world, in any language Scientific Name Rules Genus name always capitalized Species name never capitalized Italicized OR Underlined Papilio glaucus Papilio glaucus 3
4 Species Common Names Same common name may be used for numerous species Some species have official common names accepted by all authorities Papilio glaucus = Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Higher Classification Groups of related genera placed in families family Papilionidae contains Papilio glaucus Papilio canadensis Papilio troilus Battus philenor Eurytides marcellus and many more Higher Classification Groups of related families placed in orders order Lepidoptera contains Higher Classification Groups of related orders placed in classes class Insecta (Hexapoda) contains family Papilionidae family Saturniidae family Tortricidae family Noctuidae family Pyralidae and many more order Lepidoptera order Diptera order Coleoptera order Orthoptera order Hymenoptera and many more Higher Classification Groups of related classes placed in phylums phylum Arthropoda contains class Insecta class Arachnida class Diplopoda class Chilopoda class Malacostraca and many more What Higher Classification Can Tell You If you can identify an arthropod to a class: You might know if is predatory or not Not much more 4
5 What Higher Classification Can Tell You If you can identify an arthropod to an order: What Higher Classification Can Tell You If you can identify an arthropod to an order: You will know its type of metamorphosis You will likely know what type of mouthparts it has You may know what types of pesticides might work against it You may know its typical habitat You may know if it is predatory or not It will be easier to identify to a family level What Higher Classification Can Tell You If you can identify to a family: class Hexapoda class Arachnida class Diplopoda class Chilopoda class Malacostraca and many more Nomenclature: The system or set of names used in a specific branch of learning or activity, as in biology for plants and animals Essentially, the rules for naming organisms Nomenclature Ending Rules Phylums No rules Classes No rules Orders No rules, some patterns Phylum Arthropoda Class Insecta Order Lepidoptera Family Papilionidae Genus Papilio Species glaucus The eastern tiger swallowtail Families Genus & species idae No rules 5
6 Phylum Arthropoda Class Insecta Order Homoptera Family Cicadellidae Genus Empoasca Species fabae The potato leafhopper Splitters & Lumpers Authorities frequently disagree Nomenclature and organization may vary in references Important in real world?? Literally dozens of very similar species The Challenge of Identification Literally hundreds of very similar species Minute characteristics Minute characteristics Mimicry Mimicry The Challenge of Identification Which of these two insects would you be willing to capture in your bare hand? Mistakes are common 6
7 Mistakes are common Mistakes are common Non migratory mimic Viceroy vs. migrating model Monarch Basic Characteristics of Arthropods segmented bodies groups of segments organized into body regions jointed appendages exoskeleton & molting cold blooded physiology diverse modifications Arthropod exoskeletons External protective & supporting structure Varies in thickness, flexibility Surface is non-living material Must be shed & replaced for growth Arthropod exoskeletons Exoskeleton of immature stages is often thinner More flexible, stretchable Outer layer is still a dead tissue that must be shed and replaced for growth Molting Process of shedding the exoskeleton New, larger or modified exoskeleton is formed beneath the old one 7
8 Metamorphosis A change in form and/or function as an insect grows and passes through stages Gradual or Simple Metamorphosis Immature stages outwardly similar to adults Change may be minor or substantial, with different names: Simple Incomplete Complete Details may change as the creature grows and matures Complete Metamorphosis Arthropod Identification & Classification Classification is based on characteristics Type of metamorphosis Type of mouthparts Antennal forms Leg characteristics Wing type and number Many other characters Major classes of Athropods A r t h r o p o d s Chilopoda Centipedes Diplopoda Millipedes Arachnida Spiders, mites, ticks Malacostraca Lobsters, shrimp, sow bugs Head w/antennae + elongated trunk w/1 pair of legs per segment Head w/antennae + elongated trunk w/2 pairs of legs per segment Cephalothorax w/4 pairs of legs + abdomen Cephalothorax w/5 pairs of legs, 2 pair antennae + abdomen Insecta Head w/antennae + thorax w/3 pairs of legs + abdomen 8
9 Class Chilopoda - Centipedes 2 tagmata, a cephalothorax & abdomen Generally flattened Numerous pairs of legs, 1 pair per segment; 1 st pair a poison fang 1 pair of antennae Chewing mouthparts predators Class Chilopoda - Centipedes Class Diplopoda - Millipedes 2 tagmata, a cephalothorax & abdomen Generally cylindrical Numerous pairs of legs, 2 pair per segment 1 pair of antennae Chewing mouthparts scavengers Class Diplopoda - Millipedes Class Malacostraca (Crustacea) Crabs, lobsters, crayfish, sowbugs 2 tagmata, a cephalothorax & abdomen 4 to 7 pairs of legs 2 pairs of antennae Sowbugs, pillbugs 2 tagmata, a cephalothorax & abdomen But hard to discern the division point 7 pairs of legs Omnivorous scavengers Order Isopoda 9
10 2 tagmata, a cephalothorax & abdomen 4 pairs of walking legs No antennae Chelicerate mouthparts Class Arachnida Arachnida Morphology Two body parts: Cephalothorax and Abdomen Spiders, ticks, mites Arachnida Morphology Mites and Ticks - hard to discern the cephalothorax from the abdomen Spiders, order Araneae Spiders, order Araneae Many families, hard to key out Mostly generalists, some are searchers Kill prey with venom Some kill prey larger than themselves Some use silk for capturing prey Order Opiliones - Harvestmen 2 tagmata, a cephalothorax & abdomen, appearing fused 4 pairs of walking legs No antennae Minor predators & scavengers 10
