[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)...
