Types Of Invertebrates

Types Of Invertebrates: Zoologists classify invertebrates into about 30 major groups, known as phyla. These phyla vary enormously in the number of species they.contain. Arthropods are the invertebrate phylum with the most species-more than one million known species and countless more awaiting discovery. The molluses make up the second largest group of invertebrates, with at least 50,000 species. Among the simplest invertebrates are the sponges. Other major invertebrate phyla include the cnidarians, echinoderms, and several different groups of worms, including flatworms, roundworms, and annelids.

Insects dominate the arthropod phylum. Making up 90 percent of all arthropods, insects have a strong claim to be the most successful animals in the world. On land, they live in almost every habitat, aided by their small size and, for many, their ability to fly. They also live in fresh water, but remarkably, they have failed to colonise the sea. Some zoologists believe this is because crustaceans have already exploited this habitat to its fullest. Molluses make up the second largest group of invertebrates. Even by invertebrate standards, molluses are extremely varied. Molluscs include snails, clams, octopuses, and squid.
