Term
Arthropoda
Definition
Phylum of (most likely, a few experts believe anellida) nematode origin, containing hexapoda, crustacea, trilobita, myriapoda, isopoda, and other related taxa
Term
Systematics
Definition
Combined field of Taxonomy and Phylogeny
Term
Taxonomy
Definition
Systematic field based of morphology and visible characteristics.
-Provide Names
-Describe Species
-Preserve Collections
-Classify Organisms, Provide keys for ID, and Provide Stats on distribution
Term
Phylogeny
Definition
The study of evolutionary relatedness of taxa. Investigates their evolutionary histories and uses DNA information

Protien exoskeleton secreted by epidermis
Term
Myriapoda
Definition
Subpyla containing millipedes and centipedes
2 regions: head and trunk
Term
Entognatha
Definition
Hexapoda class - "internal mouth parts" Mouth parts inside head capsule.
-Primitively wingless
Collembola and Diplurans
Term
Insecta
Definition
Hexapod class - Wingless and winged
Wingless due to secondary evolution
External mouth parts
Term
Collembola
Definition
Entognatha class - Springtails
Name sourced from abdominal collophore structure, "glue wedge" which absorbs moisture from environment
Term
Dilpura
Definition
Entognatha class - eyeless, 2-5 millimeters, "two tales", name origin from two posterior abdominal cerci
Term
Anamorphic
Definition
Add segments as organisms grow
Term
Epimorphic
Definition
Segment number is constant through development
Term
Apterygota
Definition
Insecta subclass - "Wingless"
Term
Pterygota
Definition
Insecta subclass - "Winged"
Contains bristletails(Archeognatha) and Silverfish(Thysanura)
3 cerci at posterior abdomen
Term
Archeognatha
Definition
Apterygota order - Bristletails
Term
Thysanura
Definition
Apterygota order - Silverfish
Tends to live indoors on collections of dead organic matter
Molts even after adulthood, unlike most insects
Term
Coxa
Definition
Basal segment of leg
Term
Epicoxa
Definition
Theorized origin location of wing
- Rests above basal leg segment on thorax
Term
Paleoptera
Definition
Infraclass - "Ancient Wings" - cannot fold wings on to back
Contains Odonata, Ephemeroptera
Term
Neoptera
Definition
Infraclass - "New Wings" - Can fold wings onto back
Grasshoppers, Hymenoptera etc.
Term
Exopterygota
Definition

"External wing development"
Term
Endopterygota
Definition
Homometabolic, complete metamorphosis, juveniles undergo pupal stage
"Internal wing development"
Term
Leks
Definition
Congregational reproductive metting places
Term
Euchepherin
Definition
Combines with ATP to create lucifren enzyme
Term
Lucefrin
Definition
Oxygen oxidizes this enzyme to create a cold light reaction
Term
Rostrum
Definition
Elongated head with chewing mouthparts
- contrast with elongated mouth parts (not the head) for sucking and piercing
Term
Pterygote Theory
Definition
Legs moved to ventral side and expanded the form the major sclerite, leaving room for wing on the paranotal lobes
Term

Term
Tertiary Period
Definition
origin period of birds and mammals
