Sharks (phylum Chordata) are an important ‘keystone species’, which means that as top predators, they are extremely important in maintaining the balance in marine ecosystems. There are well over 1,000 species of shark 🦈 #shark #sharks #ocean #wildlife #marine #fish #nature #sea #keystone

Ah, chordata. Home to such organisms as penguin, shark, alligator, and baby.

Although bats are culturally seen as a whole species by themselves saying the word 'bat' is as specific as saying 'carnivore'.

There are 1500 different species of bats!

Yes, humans are deuterostomes. Humans fall under Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Vertebrata, Superclass Gnathostomata, Class Mammalia. In basic terms humans are: Deuterostomes: anus develops before mouth.

However, here are some of them that did scan well that never made it onto the Tumblr, as a treat!

(Read the alt-texts for some FT-inspired descriptions)
ONYCHOPHORA On one Earth, wolves spit adhesive silk and had a hydrostatic skeleton. -Wait, what? These velvety "wolves" would gain pleasure from altruism in the truest sense of the word; wrapping it up in the glue of pack dynamics and bureaucracy. Family groups came together, led by the dominant females of each. Packs merged with packs and formed clans and tribes and cities and states, councils of matriarch royalty serving under the greatest matriarch, switching to democracy or outright dictatorships or simply staying the same. The result of an alliance of even *these* was the Packs Under Maternalist Rule. ARTHROPODA On one Earth, vertebrates never made it to land. Bugs grew big, and they grew wild, unrestrained by competition and free to flood the globe with endless forms most beautiful. They adapted into hyperspecialized niches on the macro scale, and with macro bodies grew macro brains. Caring not for the (vertebrate, nonexistent) reputation of "bug" as "emotionless biological machine," four separate species found a way to live in harmony and sing Kumbaya. Hypersocial in all shapes and forms, they would develop a crowded society catering to all. From this Union of Four would rise a society of four species of crow-to-cat-sized arthropods that co-evolved in an ant colony type setup, allowing synergy and individual codependence - the insect Scouts, the chelicerate Hunters, the myriad of Broodmothers and the crustacean Excavators. ECHINODERMATA On one Earth, there was a big ring - a *big ring*. This was a boon for the sea stars, who quickly expanded across the globe as their Ordovician contemporaries froze to death. Primed to take over, their many regenerating arms reached across the globe - some autonomously, some not. This costed an arm and a leg, and as the complexity of these systems grew over another five mass extinctions, the Radiant Expansionists were primed to reach for the stars they were shaped like. Using their own severed limbs as assistants, they would build their bodies better...until they could no longer. CHORDATA On one Earth, whales walked. But what does that have to do with sharks? For one, it lets them get smarter. Sharks ate their prey in increasingly clever ways, and were hunted by the smartest megateeth of all in turn. From these solitary, terrifying (but handless) hunters, the Frenzy of Otodontid Affairs arose, first cooperating out of common need and then going against their asocial natures to form a society by framing it as an extended - temporary - but extended - feeding frenzy. Fifty thousand years later, many modern Frenzy would tell you that this was a terrible mistake.

Chordates include people, with our bones (vertebrae), tunicates have no bones but share the five key characteristics of the Phylum Chordata including a dorsal nerve cord. Strictly speaking, animals must have these characteristics at some stage in their development, not necessarily in the adult stage

Love these. Harmless to humans. Found just one today. “Salps,” a barrel-shaped, planktonic tunicate that moves by jet propulsion, pumping water through its translucent gelatinous body.

In the phylum Chordata. Does that mean it has a spinal cord? This blob has a spinal cord?

"Is this about Gedevere Hyrax? I swear that I am absolutely not cheating on Chordata despite what that entitled brat says, he can go fuck himself-"

"I was asking about Arcturus, actually. What's this about Gedevere Hyrax?"

"-that staff wasn't even gilde- uh. Nothing."

"Taranis."

Sub-Phylum Tunicata is a really large and extremely interesting part of the Phylum Chordata, and the Olfactores clade.

Check out a couple of other species of Tunicates.

Korrekt, vintergatan. Och apropå tumblr, lite läsning därifrån på ämnet!
beatrice-of-the-stars Wait are we called mammals after mammary glands? Are mammals named after tits??? ARE WE THE BOOBS CLASS? Avatar fastfouriertransfem Badge image. Badge image. Badge image. May 20, 2024 OH Avatar foone May 20, 2024 We are. And we also named our galaxy after boob juice. Twice. "milky way" is obviously milk, but the hidden part is that "galaxy" comes from the Greek γάλα (gála), meaning "milk". It's the tit-goo path tit-goo-thing. We are very, very breast focused as a species. Eukaryote (good-kernels) as opposed to prokaryotes(before-kernels). We are the Domain of Fortunate Cellular Nuclei. Animalia (of the anima.) we are in the Kingdom of the Breathing, or the Air-Souled. Of the Phylum (tribe or clan) Chordata (having a string). We are the Clan of the String, referencing the spinal cord. Class Mammalia, of course. the division of the titties. Order Primate, which is a bit stuck-up, but I suppose the people doing the naming get to pick. Primate is of course primary, or First/Highest. Interestingly, this is in the sense of it being a job; a primate is a bishop of Christianity. This is reflected in the medieval Scala Naturae, where “primate” is an office held by the “natural” or divinely appointed top being in each tier of existence. Seraphim are the primate angels; humans are the primate people; lions are the primate animals; oak trees are the primate plants; and diamonds are the primate minerals. Translating the intent here, we are the Order of Ordained Authority, which we share with other natural bosses such as lemurs. Depending how you want to do this, we are also suborder Haplorhini, the dry-nosed. This is separated from wet-nosed apes. After this we land in the repetition of Homina-homina-homina-homina where there are several classes that drill down ever further, all of them rooted in “hominid.” Everyone knows homo is “man, human” but the root of why it’s “man” is because it is first “earth”. Human means “earthling”, and is rooted in “not-divine.” We are the family, subfamily, tribe and genus of earthlings. By the time you get to species we are very lonely indeed, with only one species in our genus. This is actually a terrifically lonely place, and in this we are “sapiens.” This doesn’t mean just “wise” but “being wise,” which is more of a duty than a descriptor. When you put it in context: Domain of Fortunate Nuclei, Kingdom of the Air-Souled, Clan of the String, Class of Milky Boobs, Order of the Bosses, Family of Earthlings, Tribe of Earthlings, People of Earth, Earthlings, Thinking Earthlings. The point of taxonomy does seem to be making oneself a box that excludes all others in order to feel properly lonely and alone in it; one’s place in the world defined until one is alone. however, zooming out a bit, it does make for some stirring company.
