Kingdom Animalia - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Hexaninellida
        
        Used for decoration in a aquarium. Able to remove up to 95% of bacteria and particles from the water (POM) and 90% of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), thereby converting suspended particles and dissolved matter into food for other animals.
      - Desmospongia
        
        All sponges are filter feeders, subsisting on bacteria and other small organisms. Water bearing these food particles enters through outer pores.
      - Calcarea
        
        Used for decoration in a aquarium. Used for car care, household cleaning, makeup application and removal, skin exfoliant for when bathing, and personal care.
  - - - Scyphozoa
        
        Cubozoas and other jellyfishes can be pets, fertilizers and microplastic filters.
      - Anthozoa
        
        Corals provide a habitat for a variety of animals that humans use for food, such as fish, clams, and crabs. Anemones and corals are sold for home aquariums, and coral skeletons are used to make jewelry.
      - Hydrozoa
        
        Hydras can eat mosquitoes and decrease the chance of humans getting diseases.
  - - - pelecypoda
        
        Bivalves impact nutrient cycling, create and modify habitat, and affect food webs directly (i.e., prey) and indirectly (i.e., movement of nutrients and energy).
      - Cephalopoda
        
        Ocotopuses become prey and predators in the ecosystem. For humans they are used for food
      - Scaphopoda
        
        Used for decoration in a aquarium
      - Gsatropoda
        
        Snails do calcium cycling, They glean calcium from their food, concentrate it in their shells that are made mainly from calcium carbonate, and pass it up the food chain as they are consumed by Predators.
      - Polyplacophora
        
        Chitons are generally herbivorous grazers, though some are omnivorous and some carnivorous. They eat algae, bryozoans, diatoms, barnacles, and sometimes bacteria by scraping the rocky substrate with their well-developed radulae. They generally keep ecosystem balanced
  - - - Trematoda
        
        Flukes are parasites to the human body and cause liver and bile duct disease.
      - Cestoda
        
        They're voracious parasites that burrow into gut walls and devour nutrients like a nightmarish version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. But not all tapeworms are bad news. In fact, one type appears to protect against memory loss in rats.
      - Turbellaria
        
        Flat worms are good decomposers they feed on dead animal remainings and can break down large pieces of dead organic material.
      - Monogenea
        
        They primarily infect certain marine fish are larger, and marine forms are generally larger than those found on freshwater hosts.
  - - - Insecta
        
        Butterflys help pollination in flowers. As they land on top of a flower they might pick up some pollens and when they land on a different flower the flower receive the pollens.
      - Myriapoda
        
        Millipedes are an essential part of tropical ecosystems for their role in decomposing vegetation and cycling nutrients back into the soil.
      - Crustacea
        
        Crabs are main decomposers in the marine ecosystem,they help to clean up the sea bottom by harvesting decomposing plant and animal matter.
      - Aracnida
        
        Spiders that prey on mosquitoes directly lower the numbers of these pests, and can help reduce the spread of mosquito-borne disease.
  - - - Parasites that attach to the intestine of the host
    - - Horsehair worms develop as parasites in the bodies of grasshoppers, crickets, cockroaches, and some beetles. When mature, they leave the host to lay eggs.
  - - - Echinoidea
        
        Sea urchins are important herbivores on coral reefs, and in some ecosystems they play a critical role in maintaining the balance between coral and algae. They can also be eaten by humans.
      - Holothuroidea
        
        Sea cucumbers serve a useful role in the marine ecosystem as they help recycle nutrients, breaking down detritus and other organic matter after which bacteria can continue the degradation process.
      - Ophiuroidea
        
        Brittle Stars reshape the seafloor sediment surface and influence the distribution of other seafloor species. They also provide nutrition to fish, sea stars and crab predators.
      - Crinoidea
        
        Crinoids are passive suspension feeders, filtering plankton and small particles of detritus from the sea water flowing past them with their feather-like arms.
      - Asteriodea
        
        Starfishes are keystone species. A keystone species preys on animals that have no other natural predators and if they are removed from the environment, their prey will increase in number and may drive out other species.
        
        Starfish
  - - - Oligochaesta
        
        Earthworms fertilize the soil around them
      - Hirudinea
        
        leeches have been used in medicine to treat nervous system abnormalities, dental problems, skin diseases, and infections.
      - Polychaeta
        
        primarily are scavengers and consume uneaten food, detritus, and carrion in a saltwater aquarium.
- - - - Sharks
        
        It's fins can be used to make shark fin soup and it's liver oil is used for tanning leather; for preserving wood; as a lubricant.
    - - Clownfish
        
        Clownfish have a special relationship with the anemone and are very important to them. They help clean the anemone of the leftover food. They also protect the sea anemones by chasing away polyp-eating fish, such as the butterfly fish.
    - - They primarily become decomposers of the environment and are parasites for fishes.
  - - - Ayam
        
        Meat and eggs can be used as food for humans.
    - - Rhynchocephalia
        
        Tuatara
        
        They can be kept as pets for humans and also tuataras prey upon, such as beetles, crickets, and spiders as such they contribute to the ecosystem.
      - Squamata
        
        Snake
        
        Snakes can lower rat populations that can be beneficial for agriculture as rats can be pests for the crops.
      - Testudines.
        
        Turtle
        
        Play a vital role in maintaining the health of the world's oceans. They regulate a variety of other organisms simply through eating them. For example, green turtles mainly feed on seagrass. They can also be kept as pets
      - Crocodylia

        It's meat and milk are food source for humans.
      - Insectivora
        
        Moles
        
        By tunneling and shifting soil particles, moles permit better aeration of the soil, help dry out sod, and enable humus (organic matter) to travel deeper into the soil.
      - Carnivora
        
        Dogs
        
        They are primarily kept as pets, pets are usually morale boosters
      - Lagomorpha
        
        Rabbit
        
        Because they can eat a wide variety of plants, populations of rabbits play an important role in keeping fast-growing weeds and plants from overgrowing.
      - Cetacea
        
        Whales
        
        They help provide at least half of the oxygen you breathe, combat climate change, and sustain fish stocks.

        They help pollinating and dispersing the seeds of hundreds of species of plants.
      - Proboscidea
        
        Elephants
        
        They trample forests and dense grasslands, making room for smaller species to co-exist. Elephants also create water holes used by other wildlife as they dig dry riverbeds when rainfall is low.
      - Edentata
        
        Hairy anteaters
        
        They control the population of ants and termites as such protecting trees from them.
    - - Frogs
        
        They eat pest insects, which benefits agriculture around the world and helps minimise the spread of disease, including malaria.
