Chordates consist of three distinct animal groups: cephalochor-dates, urochordates (tunicates) and vertebrates. This review starts with a brief description of how the Phylum Chordata and its three subphyla were orig-inally defined, and then discusses how we should reclassify the major chordate groups. 2.

7 paź 2008 · Abstract. Traditional concepts of chordate phylogeny have recently been in turmoil: in a large-scale molecular study, the traditional hypothesis that cephalochordates are sister taxon to craniates was replaced by the hypothesis of a sister group relationship between tunicates and craniates.
1 sty 2024 · Definition. Chordates are the group of animals to which vertebrates including humans belong. Like so many other phyla of bilaterian animals, they originated in the ocean over 520 million years ago, before or during the Cambrian period.
chordates have established themselves as one of the major animal phyla, with dominance of the water, land, and air. They cannot rival arthropods in terms of numbers of either species or individuals, but outstrip them in terms of total biomass and ecological dominance. Chordates are coelomates, and as such are another

7 lis 2014 · Chordates share tadpole-type larvae containing a notochord and hollow nerve cord, whereas ambulacrarians have dipleurula-type larvae containing a hydrocoel. We propose that an evolutionary occurrence of tadpole-type larvae is fundamental to understanding mechanisms of chordate origin.
