Their size can range from 0.1 mm to 3.8 m of a leg span. Some are parasitic, and use their hosts as a habitat. Others are more terrestrial, which is more common due to the fact they're known to have the largest biomass on the planet. Crustaceans have exoskeletons, and depending on the species, they will moult out of it to grow and then grow a new one. Crustaceans body is categorized into three different parts, the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. It's also important to mention that crustaceans all have open circulatory systems, which means that the blood is not transferred through veins and arteries, instead it is completely open.]]> 2018-05-23 14:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/263051655 Taxonomy of Organisms ds649 https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/263377148 Taxonomy can show the relatedness of organisms within a taxonomic group because the different levels serve as classification, and shows the evolutionary history of the organisms

- Instead of a shell, it has a purple-black mantle that is tough
- It has an opening on the top of their mantle

Solnhofen Mesolimulus Horseshoe Crab, or the common name, the horseshoe crab. This fossil ages back 163 million years ago. But horseshoe crabs were around before dinosaurs, around 445 million years ago, and are still around today. They are more closely related to spiders and scorpions then they are to crustaceans.

Over a long period of time, species of crustaceans started to become more complex and diverse, eventually leading to physical isolation. This led to new species, over a long period of time.]]> 2018-06-01 02:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/264928010 Divergent evolution ds649 https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/264930028 It can be inferred that crustaceans have gone through divergent evolution, because of their anatomy.

For example, brine shrimp females will choose their mate depending on their size and color.

Some samurai crabs have designs on their shells, that almost resemble a human face. So when fisherman is to pick between eating a normal looking crab or a crab that looks like a human face, there most likely going to throw the human looking crab back into the water. This means that if a samurai crab's shell looks like a human face, they are more likely to survive.]]> 2018-06-01 02:46:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/264932626 Descent with Modification ds649 https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/264934229 Darwin's Descent with Modification theory applies to Crustaceans because many females will choose their mates based on size. The bigger the size of the organism, the more intimidating it is to the predator. Descent with Modification shows how Parent crustaceans will pass down their advancements in genes (larger size gene) to their offspring so that they will thrive and reproduce better.]]> 2018-06-01 02:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/264934229 Directional Selection ds649 https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/264935727 Directional Selection is when an extreme phenotype is favored over all other phenotypes. Due to the predators of crustaceans, crustaceans will develop defense mechanisms for the predators. One of these include their color. Many crustaceans will flash their colors to intimidate their predators, giving them a greater chance of surviving. So therefore, crustaceans with dull colors will die out, and the extreme phenotype of bright colors will continue to thrive and reproduce.]]> 2018-06-01 03:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ds649/rj8me53n3hra/wish/264935727
