Gamer rage over metazooa

#i got stuck in pancrustacea for so fucking long man

[cannibalcaprine]

some other taxonomic facts for you to get mad at evolution for, instead of "birds are dinosaurs"

"Insects are Crustaceans" (Pancrustacea)

"Dolphins are Hoofed Mammals" (Artiodactyl)

"Mushrooms are closer to Animals than they are to Plants" (Opisthokont)

"Hyenas are Cat-like" (Feliformia)

"Herpetology is a LYING BASTARD since Amphibians are equally close to Mammals and Reptiles, and there's no reason it should be included like that. if anything, Herpetology should be a parent science of Ornithology, since birds are reptiles. why the fuck are toads here??" (Amniota, Sauria)

"really, we're all just fish" (Sarcopterygii)

#can you tell which one im mad at personally #biology #taxonomy

[crevicedwelling]

is shrimps bugs?

in crevice reckoning, yes. everything without bones and many things with bones are bugs to me.

taxonomically though, bugs are shrimps.

although they aren’t very close to the “true”decapod shrimps of rice-frying fame, insects are closely related to fairy shrimp, tadpole shrimp, and clam shrimp of the Branchiopoda, though their closest relatives are usually taken to be the remipedes (weird little long guys that live in deep water or caves, no relation to centipedes but they too are venomous!)

People’s Flag Wars 2: Round 1

Welcome to the first round of the second People’s Flag Wars! This competition includes flags designed by the people who submitted them.

Metazooa

[ID: Metazooa, the cladistics puzzle tree, guessed in 7. Branching at bilateria, under gnathostomata is cockatiel and tiger shark. Then on the other branch, under pancrustacea is cockroach. Then theres eumalacostraca, with an additional branch to pleocyermata, hermit crab and loberster. The last guesses just under eumalacostraca are mantis shrimp, and the answer pillbug. END]

BUGS IS CRAB

@joelletwo bug strategies!!

i have made this possibly too complicated so let's start with the most important thing, and save the others for second half optional reading.

(sidenote, most of these groups i remember not by their names, but by their summary and pictures)

the big bug group to remember is neoptera! neoptera is not every bug, but it covers a huge amount of them. it has two main branches: bugs that have three life stages (larva, pupa, adult), and bugs that do not. most neoptera bugs have wings.

to rule out the group with three lifecycles, i guess fire ant. if it splits off from fire ant at neoptera, i can write off every kind of three stage bug. that's [butterflies & moths], all beetles, [bees & ants & wasps], [mosquitos & flies], and maybe some others i dont know of.

everything in brackets together is in a subgroup together. you only need to guess one bug within that group to rule out all of them. if guessing fire ant doesn't rule out the three-stage bugs, i go through these groups one at a time.

if fire ant does rule out the three stage branch, then i move on to the other one. there's two main groups here: [cricket & locust & grasshopper], [praying mantis & cockroach & termite]. earwig and stickbug are standalones. i think that's it, there might be one or two bugs in here that haven't come up in practice yet.

that was the big one! again, those two branches of neoptera include a LOT of bugs, so just keeping track of that covers a lot of bases. from here on out is the optional additional reading if you feel it's not too much info at once.

if guessing fire ant rules out neoptera completely, there's a few places to go. if it's something under pancrustacea but isn't neoptera, then im looking for crustaceans. crab, prawn, lobster, mantis shrimp. pillbug is with crustaceans too, as the land isopod.

if my fire ant guess splits off at protostomia (which i remember as the one that has pictures of a snail, a mantis, and a worm in its summary), then i'm looking for something among the snails and molluscs and octopi. those are all in a big branch together.

if it splits off somewhere other than crustaceans and snails, i start guessing the oddballs. arachnida (spider/scorpion/etc), centipede, dragonfly. these ones don't come up as often.

i hope this all makes enough sense to help! i can put together visuals later if you feel those are required

#metazooa #basically if i see bialteria my first thought is 'octopus or bugs?' #so i guess ant and go from there

[entei]

hexapoda (insects) is a branch of pancrustacea (crustaceans), so really bugs is shrimp.

Fan: fried shrimp is good too

🐰: did u kno dat shrimp and roaches r so close that they belong to this group their own called Pancrustacea

#ikon #m:bobby #220716

[flockofdoves]

god.. youve heard of 'birds are cladistically the only living dinosaurs' (real) and 'humans are cladistically fish' (kinda joke) but just now learned about 'it turns out that all insects are probably cladistically crustaceans'

#cpost #ig it like. makes maybe more sense on a superficial level than the others but like i Knew those so this is still so wild to me

🐧 Animal #75 🪲 I figured it out in 15 guesses! 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟧🟧🟨🟩 🔥 3 | Avg. Guesses: 10

Almost didn't make this one. The Pancrustacea clade really threw me.

[thatkinkyautistic]

Pancrustacea is probably my favorite paraphyletic clade. Especially the class of Malacostraca,in particular.

[lifeisperfecto]

that comic about how experts greatly overestimate the average persons knowledge about their field is so true. my lecturer just said "if you had been studying crustacea 10 years ago, fallen into a coma, and woken up today, you'd know just as much about the phylogeny of pancrustacea as my 5 year old nephew"

#I know it was for dramatic effect but still funny to imagine a 5 year old who knows what either of those words means

[crevicedwelling]

i feel so nuts right now i had no idea insects were crustaceans i thought they overlapped like a venn diagram. the more one knows i suppose LOL

they’re in the Pancrustacea, closest to remipedes and Triops + fairy shrimp!

People’s Flag Wars: Round 1, Bracket 9

See the symbolism below.

Pancrustacea is a flag by by @crustaceanlord.

Symbolism: “So this is the flag of Pancrustacea, aka Empire of Crustacea-Hexapoda. It depicts the most common Hexapod: The Dung Beetle. Alongside the most common Crustacean: Copepod.

The wreath is to symbolize imperial authority. The stars above each arthropod depicted represent their respective groups (Hexapoda & Crustacea). Their size differences are intended to show the population differences, with Hexapods being the majority within the empire and Crustaceans being the less populated yet equally important secondary majority.

Colour Symbolism:

Red: Unity.

Gold: Wealth & Equality.

Black: The Importance of Faith in N'mlis, God of the Holy Depths & Ethereal Night Sky.”

Carmel, Indiana is a flag by by scottishdoge.

Symbolism:

“Blue: Good Fortune and Prosperity

Gold: Happiness

White: Peace and Balance

Star: Ode to the original name of the city: Bethlehem

Design: Carmel is the Roundabout Capital of the US, so I wanted to use the roundabout design as a significant flag feature. On the reverse side, the lines (or lanes in this symbolism) are reversed as well, a subtle nod to our international influencers--who drive on the other side of the road--that have helped the city become more progressive in our ideas and lifestyle. The crossbar with a star in the middle is an ode to the Indianapolis flag, and the off-center, enhanced circle resembles the original design by Roger Gohl.”

Brechreiz Empire is a flag by @trans-fem-lesbian-crab.

Symbolism: “The flag is inductive of the old imperial german flag during WW1! The white means just typical imperialism and monarchy. The orange is for the colour of metal and rust. Due to machines being a heavy focus for the alt hist Germany. The symbol Is a mash up of a northern star. It's supposed to show the northern star bleeding which leads into an eye that always watches.”
