We performed a cladistic analysis of 25 characters to determine how the chelicerates, crustaceans, and uniramids should be classified, possibly under 1 phylum, Arthropoda, or in 2 or more phyla.

ARTHROPODS OF MEDICAL IMPORTANCE IN OHIO CHARLES O. MASTERS Sanitarian, Licking and Knox Counties, Ohio It is rather difficult to state with authority that arthropods, which make up about 86 percent of the world's animal species, are not of medical importance in the state of Ohio.
Biol 206 - Zoology Lecture Handout - Arthopods Phylum Arthropoda Overview: Most abundant and diverse of any group of animals on Earth; over 1,000,000 spp. known. Eucoelomate protostomes, organ-system level of development. Exoskeleton of chitin (nitrogenous polysaccharide).
Arthropods are easily the most diverse group of animals on the planet. The number of insects alone is greater than all the other animals combined. The fossil record shows a similar trend (at least for some groups): the number of trilobite species is greater than 10,000.

Classification of Arthropods. Arthropods have been traditionally divided into three groups based on morphological characters. However, recent research suggests a restructuring of arthropod classification is needed. General Characteristics of Arthropods.
Arthropods are the most diverse group of organisms on our planet and the tropical rainforests represent the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems.
The arthropods are the most numerous of the animal phyla, including nearly one million known species (and more are being discovered all of the time!) Arthropods are found in almost all conceivable habitats, and feed on a great variety of materials.
