[edit] Notes

Nowadays, Metazoa appears to be the correct technical name for the regnum, and the vernacular name is animals. The old name Animalia included the Protozoa (now moved to regnum Protista). On the other hand, some recent major publications, eg. Adl et al. (2005) treat Eumetazoa as a synonym of Animalia, excluding Porifera and some other Metazoa (eg. Placozoa).

[edit] central nervous system

"a central nervous system" - It should be removed, some phyla do not have a central nervous system. for examle sponges AKA poriphera

[edit] germ layers

My bio textbook says that all animals more complex than sponges produce two or three germ layers. The Wikipedia suggests that only Eumetazoa produce germ layers. I'm compiling the germ layer, mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm stubs into one article and need to know which fact is correct for my final revision. Please feel free to respond on my Wikipedia Talk page. 68.106.203.138 23:56, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation

• Parazoa are simple filter-feeders, like sponges.
• Agnotozoa are animals without complex differentiated tissue; animals such as Trichoplax adhaerens do have simple but specialized epithelial tissue.
• Eumetazoa are animals with differentiated tissue.

This section should not be on the main page for two reasons: 1) by adding this section, wikimedia automatically places a table of contents on the page. This makes the page aesthetically unappealing. 2) This section is inconsistent with the content of most other pages. It is important that we have standards. If anything, this section should not be within the Taxonavigation section. Maybe we will eventually have such a section on all of the pages but in the mean time we need to do other things...

[edit] Childish losers

Someone had not only replaced an article with something meaningless, it was obscene as well. -bizznot

[edit] Question

Aren't "Metazoa" and "Eumetazoa" the same thing? They seem to lead to the same categories.

--Rutledge 4 November 2006

I believe it should be Animalia roughly equal to Metazoa, Eumetazoa is included in Metazoa. Eu suffix is always included in its basionym. But there are many different taxonomies at these levels. And it's unclear what is right. (Well at least to me). Hopefully after our update we can make easier changes. --Kempm 15:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error

The romanian term for Animals is "animale", without the ending s (singular=animal, plural=animale)

adjusted. Lycaon 12:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Piedmontese language

The piedmontese for "Animalia" is ANIMAL (singular) and ANIMAJ (plural). Thank you--213.140.17.108 15:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Agnotozoa?

I thought they were not a valid clade. I posted some information on the Agnotozoa discussion page regarding their classification. The explanations are there. I hope it could be changed. As far as research is concerned, I've done a bit of it and most of it shows Agnotozoa to not be a valid and/or usable clade or division (even a branch) to be used under Animalia (Metazoa)...

[edit] Error in Српски / Srpski

Correct in Српски/Srpski is Животињe

[edit] Error in ייִדיש / Yiddish

Correct in Yiddish (ortography) is: בעלי־חיים. Must be special rtl pause simbol ־

[edit] Please add Belarusian

Please add be:Жывёлы

[edit] Error in Greek

The correct rendering of "Animalia" in Greek is the plural "Ζώα", not the singular "Ζώο".

[edit] automatic species name translation

after a while I revisited the species.wikimedia.org, and I was very pleased with that I was able to see

however, while I was watching english species pages I immediatelly felt a need to see translation of the branch/species name to my native language, right to or below under the english page tile (or whatever 'original' title language is)

probably that feature would be very interesting for many, many visitors, so I suggest that you consider modification of the species.wikimedia.org so I can select - in my species.wikimedia.org profile - a language or even several languages in which I would like to see translated names of the species represented on the page

thanx,

gjuro

[edit] Help me

I´m brasilian,and I dont´ speak English very well,and I dont´ know how to edit a central page.I create an acount now and i dont´ know about the politics of wikispecies. I think have a 5 pre-historic genus of invertebrates what dont´ have nobody philum,and I think that´s interesting colocate in the animalia incertae sedis,with the placozoa philum:

1-Annuluschinus 2-Aspidela 3-Bradgatia 4-Ivesia 5-Thectardis

and the philum Trilobozoa dont´ have a taxonavegation.

Please,I want to know more about the wikispecies,couse´ I dont´ know why I cant´ edit a central page...

I have fixed the problem with the fossil phylum Trilobozoa (putting it is Eumetazoa incertae sedis)

You should be able to add your unplaced fossil genera to Animalia incertae sedis without any problem - the page isn't locked

[edit] Extinction

Due to deforestration and erratic rainfall the very rare species of animals have become extinct. The animals like gibbon, white leopard etc., have become extinct.
