Synapsids

•Animals with one skull opening behind eye socket•Located in the temporal region

8

Pelycosaurs

• Synapsid reptiles from Pennsylvanian and Permian – 300-245 MYA

• Body close to ground• Legs away from body• Canine like teeth

Dimetron

Therapsids

• Before dinosaurs• Evidence suggests

Mammals evolved from therapsids

• Body raised off the ground

• Limbs more under the body

• Teeth differentiated into 3 types

Lystrosaurus

10

Cynodonts “dog tooth”

• Lumbar ribs reduced or absent

• Well developed secondary palate

• Lower jaw reduced to one bone

Cynognathus

34

Monotremes

• Lay eggs• Incubate 12 days• Lick milk from mothers

fur• Transitional species

35

Marsupials

• Pouched mammals• Birth to tiny embryo• Embryo attaches to

mother’s nipple to complete development

36

Placental Mammals

• Placenta nourishes embryo

• Long gestation period– 22 months for elephant

• Most successful group of mammals

37

Placental Mammals

• Competitive advantage over monotremes and marsupials– Better nutrition from

placenta– Less vulnerable to

predators• More advanced at birth

38

Marsupials and Monotremes in Australia

• Triassic Period– Mammals evolved– Pangea

• Jurassic Period– Monotremes and

marsupials migrated to southern pangea

• Cretaceous Period– Pangea breaks up

39

Evolution of Placenta from Amniotic EggReptile • Chorion

– Oxygen from air• Amnion

– Provides private pond• Yolk Sac

– Food for embryo• Allantois

– Store urinary waste

• Mammal• Chorion

– Form placenta to get oxygen & food from mothers blood

• Amnion– Provides private pond

• Yolk sac– Temporarily make RBCs

• Allantois– Form umbilical cord

41

Mammal Classification

• 14 major orders• Over 4,000 species• About half are rodents

42

Order Monotremata

• Lays eggs• Young lick milk from

mothers fur

43

Order Marsupiallia

• Pouch•

44

Placental: Order Insectivora

• Sharp-snout• Small• Burrow underground• Eat insects

45

Order Chiroptera• Only Flying mammals• Elongated fingers• Echolocation• Ex. batsImportance-• Seed dispersal• Pollination• Control insects

46

Echolocation

47

Smallest Mammal

• Kitti’s hog-nosed Bat• Bumble bee size• 1.5 grams

48

Order Xenarthra

• Toothless or peg like teeth

49

Order Carnivora

• Large canine teeth• Teeth adapted to shear

flesh

50

Order Rodentia

• Chisel-like incisor teeth• Continuously grow• Largest order

51

Order Cetacea

• Front limbs modified into flippers

• No hind limbs• Marine

52

Whales

• Blue whale• 100 feet long, 120 tons

– 9 story building• Loudest animal– 188 dB• Sound travels 100’s of miles

53

54

Blue Whale

• Baleen whale• Eats krill– Tiny crustaceans– 400 pounds/day

• Heart weighs 1000 pounds– Size of a Volkswagen

• Endangered species

55

Grey Whale

56

Migrates 12,500 miles

57

Grey Whale

• 50 feet long• 35 tons• Baleen whale– Sift mud

• Endangered species

58

Killer Whale

59

Breaching

60

Killer Whale

• 12,000 pounds• Eat fish, squid, seals and

whales– 200 pounds/day

• Swim 30 mph

61

Humpback Whale

62

Order Pinnipedia

• “fin feet”• Limbs modified for

swimming• Marine carnivores• Seals, sea lions, walrus

63

Order Proboscidea

• Tusks• Largest living land

mammal

64

Order Artiodactyla

• “even toe”• Two or four toes• Giraffes, impalas,

moose, bison, cows

65

Order Perissodactyla

• “odd toed”• One or three toes• Horses • rhinos

66

Order Primates

• Opposable thumb• Binocular vision• Fingernails usually• Mammary glands

reduced to one thoracic pair

The End

Evolution

• Change over time• Which Chordate class do you think has more

advantages/adaptations to survive changing times?

• Which classes have disadvantages?

• Which Chordate classes can you see evolutionary similarities in so far?
