 | | Invertebrates are ecologically involved with virtually every biotic process occurring in natural communities, from pollination, herbivory, and predation to soil formation, disease transmission, nutrient cycling, and decomposition to name only a few. | | | The major repositories for specimen-based information on Pennsylvania invertebrates are concentrated in the collections of CMNH (insects and mollusks), ANSP (strength in mollusks, aquatic insects, and some freshwater non-arthropod taxa), and The Pennsylvania State University (arthropods, especially insects). | | | Several exotic species have become serious pests (e.g., the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar [Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae], and the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha [Bivalvia: Mytilacea; French 1990]), but others are considered beneficial (e.g., honey bees) and several were intentionally introduced for biocontrol of weeds and pest insects. |

| | Vertebrate cartilage and bone may have arisen from the same ancestral chondroid connective tissue that gave rise to the invertebrate cartilages, as evidenced by the fact that invertebrate cartilages share features not only with vertebrate cartilage but also with bone, such as cell-cell connections, use of type I collagen and possibly osteonectin and bone sialoproteins. | | | Chondroid connective tissue is common amongst invertebrates, and differs from invertebrate cartilage in the structure and organization of the cells that comprise it. | | | The ability to form cellular connective tissues structurally similar to cartilage without type II collagen is a feature that appeared before the evolution of vertebrates, supporting the notion that cartilage is not simply an embryonic adaptation (as per Romer), but was present in vertebrates before calcification evolved. |
