Sea urchin larva macrophotography
Urochordates and larvaceans are the relatives we almost never talk about. Here those long, lost relationships are reestablished. Didazoon haoae (Figs. 1, 2; Shu et al. 2001; ELI 0000197–0000217) was described as a member of the Ventulicolia, an "enigmatic phylum" of Cambrian deuterostomes of otherwise uncertain affinities. It was a simple, barrel-shaped animal with a line…
Echinoderms are unique in being pentaradiate, having diverged from the ancestral bilaterian body plan more radically than any other animal phylum. This transformation arises during ontogeny, as echinoderm larvae are initially bilateral, then pass through an asymmetric phase, before giving rise to the pentaradiate adult. Many fossil echinoderms are radial and a few are asymmetric, but until now none have been described that show the original bilaterian stage in echinoderm evolution. Here we report new fossils from the early middle Cambrian of southern Europe that are the first echinoderms with a fully bilaterian body plan as adults. Morphologically they are intermediate between two of the most basal classes, the Ctenocystoidea and Cincta. This provides a root for all echinoderms and confirms that the earliest members were deposit feeders not suspension feeders.

These helpful flashcards will help children recognise some different types of invertebrates. This set of flashcards includes colourful photographs of an insect, echinoderm, arachnid, mollusc, crustacean, and annelid. This resource can be used with the whole class or as an individual activity. Each flashcard also includes some fun facts for children to learn about different species of invertebrates!
I've long thought of echinoderms, a group that includes sea urchins, starfish, and sea cucumbers, to be among the most alien-like animals. I did not, however, think of them as their own little alien worlds. At least not until an amazing echinoblog post, put together by echinoderm world expert Christopher Mah, showed me the wonder that is
LARVAL FORMS OF ECHINODERMS :- Echinoderm larva is strikingly bilaterally symmetrical in marked contrast to radially symmetrical adult. It swims about by means of a ciliated band, which may be complicated by a number of short or long slender projection or arms from the body wall. Based upon the nature and position of the arms or their absence, lame of different classes of Echinodermata may distinguished.
In this video Dr Miles Lamare, from the University of Otago, discusses the classification of starfish and the role that they play in the marine ecosystem. Point of interest Starfish is the common name for a group of animals called sea stars. Sea stars are actually part of the phylum echinoderm and are related to sea urchins, brittle stars and sea cucumbers – they are not fish at all!
Just off the shore in Loch Carron is a spectacular bed of brittlestars, a writhing mass of millions of fragile, snaking arms in astonishingly vibrant colours. The bed is quite dense in places, with dozens of brittlestars stacked one on top of the other like a giant echinoderm duvet. It makes an excellent habitat for other sea creatures and I enjoyed spotting crustaceans and fish hiding amongst them, including this Yarrell’s blenny, easily distinguished by the comical quiff over its head.
Is a large echinoderm that blends in with jungle vegetation. It is a great predator and will try to stealthily swim until prey catches you with its long arms that allow it to capture prey even if they are far from the coast. When he catches us, the best option will be to try to swim quickly to the coast, letting go since he is not a fast swimmer and have a lot of life, but when he catches us, he applies the effect of bad smell and poison that can hinder our retreat.
