Topic: Cephalocarida


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Cephalocarida Information
Cephalocarida is a class inside the subphylum Crustacea that comprises only about nine shrimp-like benthic species.
They were discovered in 1955, and are commonly referred to as horseshoe shrimps.

Various reductions and fusions notwithstanding, the crustacean body is essentially composed of a head with 5 pairs of appendages, and a trunk with numerous segments and appendages.
The Cephalocarida, first discovered near New York (1955), are reminiscent of the primitive crustacean condition: many segments and trunk limbs are very similar, one after another (serial homology).
Cephalocarida, tiny (2-4 mm long), hermaphroditic, shrimplike crustaceans; 9 species and 4 genera are known.

Cephalocarida and Maxillopoda share with the Branchiopoda (and Rehbachiella) the presence of four endites on their first maxilla (brush-limb, so-called mouthpart).
This character is seen as one of the possible autapomorphies of the stem species of Entomostraca validating their monophyletic status (another evolutionary change in the feeding system of the head and anterior trunk region).
Cephalocarida are plesiomorphic in having 5-segmented endopods on all trunk limbs (as in the Malacostraca andin the ground pattern of Crustacea, see Walossek 1999) in contrast to Branchiopoda (and Rehbachiella) and Maxillopoda.

 Natuurinformatie - Cephalocarida, living fossils
The animal, with a body consisting of a head and 19 segments bearing remarkable primitive appendages, could not be arranged properly within the systematic framework of the crustaceans.
Therefore in order to accommodate this strange animal, a new class, the Cephalocarida or horseshoe shrimps, was defined.
All specialists are convinced that the remarkable primitive features of this class lay at the basis of the diversity of crustaceans.

 Taxonomy
Older versions of crustacean classification broke into the classes Branchiopoda, Branchiura, Cephalocarida, Cirrpedia, Copepoda, Malacostraca, Mystacocarida and Ostracoda.
It maintains the same six classes: Branchiopoda, Cephalocarida, Ostracoda, Malacostraca, Maxillopoda, and Remipedia.
It can be argued that Maxillopoda should actually be dissolved into its four subclasses, Copepoda, Thecostraca, Tantulocarida and Mystacocarida, to make nine classes of crustaceans, but it is generally kept as a whole.

The subphylum Crustacea includes the class Cephalocarida, which contains a few small, rare, primitive forms.
The class Branchiopoda has four orders of usually small animals that feed on suspended matter in fresh water; an exception is Artemia, the brine shrimp, which lives in saline lakes and ponds.

Form and function of external features > Appendages
There is great diversity among the appendages of the Crustacea, but it is thought that all the different types can be derived either from the multibranched (multiramous) limb of the class Cephalocarida or from the double-branched (biramous) limb of the class Remipedia.
A biramous limb typically has a basal part, or protopodite, bearing two branches, an inner endopodite…
