Invertebrates cells fire in response to similar stimuli as mammals, such as tissue trauma, high temperature, or changes in pH. The first invertebrate in which a neuron cell was identified was the medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis. [14] [15] Learning and memory using nociceptors have been described in the sea hare, Aplysia.

As of July 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 395 extinct species, 206 possibly extinct species, 15 extinct in the wild species, 8 extinct subspecies, and 5 extinct in the wild subspecies of invertebrate. [1] [2]

The IUCN also lists 14 invertebrate subspecies as critically endangered. No subpopulations of invertebrates have been evaluated by the IUCN. Additionally 5278 invertebrate species (29% of those evaluated) are listed as data deficient , meaning there is insufficient information for a full assessment of conservation status.
Arthropods are invertebrate animals having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda. They are distinguished by their jointed limbs and cuticle made of chitin, often mineralised with calcium carbonate. The arthropod body plan consists of segments, each with a pair of appendages.
