includes crustaceans, insects and arachnids. | Arthropoda | 100%
|
common examples include; Ragworms, earthworms and leeches. | Annelida (segmented worms) | 91%
|
jellyfish and anemones belong to this group | Cnidaria | 91%
|
commonly parasitic worms, hookworms, pinworms and whipworms are all examples of this group. | nematoda (roundworms) | 91%
|
Animals with back-bones & tunicates & lancelets | chordata (vertebrates) | 82%
|
clams, snails and octopus all belong to this group | mollusca (mollusks) | 82%
|
Starfish, sea urchins and sand dollars belong to this group. | echinodermata (echinoderms) | 55%
|
these simple animals anchor themselves on the seabed and feed by filtering water. They can be highly colorful. | porifera (sponges) | 55%
|
This group of worms are relatively simple bilateral, unsegmented soft-bodied invertebrates. they lack body cavities, ciculatory and respiratory organs which restricts them to having a flatted shape. | platyhelminthes (flatworms) | 45%
|
found everywhere in earths biosphere these creatures are best known for their ability to survive extreme conditions that would quickly kill most other forms of life. | tardigrada (tardigrades) | 45%
|
Bootlace worms may be the longest animal on the planet at over 30 meters in length and belong to this group of worms. | nemertea (ribbon worms) | 27%
|
These worm like creatures could easily be mistaken for caterpillars. They prey upon other invertebrates by ejecting an adhesive slime to trap them. | onychophora (velvet worms) | 27%
|
the name of this phylum of marine unsegmented worms relates to the Greek god of fertility. | priapulida (penis worms) | 27%
|
acorn worms are an example of this group. | hemichordata | 18%
|
simplest in structure of all animals. Their name means "flat animals" | placozoa | 18%
|
these microscopic & near-microscopic animals are found in freshwater environments around the world. Most are free swimming and make up an important part of freshwater zooplankton. | rotifera (rotifers) | 18%
|
Unlike bivalve molluscs this group has hard shells on the upper and lower surfaces. | Brachiopoda (lamp shells) | 9%
|
Small aquatic invertebrates which live in sedentary colonies. | Bryozoa (moss animals) | 9%
|
predatory marine worms which are a major component of plankton worldwide. | chaetognatha (arrow worms) | 9%
|
tiny parasites which live in the renal appendages of cephalopods. | dicyemida | 9%
|
mostly sessile aquatic animals. mature individuals are goblet-shaped on relatively long stalks and have a crown of solid tentacles. | Entoprocta | 9%
|
worm-like microscopic organisms. typically live within the detritus on the seabed and other water bodies. | Gastrotricha | 9%
|
First recognized in 1956 these nearly microscopic animals can survive in relatively anoxic environments. Often slender to thread-like worms. | Gnathostomulida (jaw worms) | 9%
|
this group of microscopic sediment dwelling animals are characterized by a protective outer case called a lorica. | loricifera | 9%
|
similar to nematodes the adults are free-living but larvae are parasitic on athropods. They often coil themselves into tight balls that resemble knots. | nematomorpha (horsehair worms) | 9%
|
Very simple and small soft-bodied animals with planula-like features. | Acoelomorpha | 0%
|
tiny aquatic animals found living on the mouthparts of cold-water lobsters. | cycliophora | 0%
|
Have small segmented, limbless bodies composed of a head, neck and trunk of eleven segments, unlike other small invertebrates they do not have external cilia but instead have a number of spines along the body for use in locomotion. | kinorhyncha (mud dragons) | 0%
|
These small poorly known marine parasites are among the simplest of multicellular organisms. The adults are microscopic wormlike animals, consisting of a single layer of ciliated outer cells surrounding a mass of sex cells. | orthonectida | 0%
|
these simple benthic worm like creatures have a simple sac-like gut but lack respiratory, circulatory and excretory systems. | xenoturbellida | 0%
