summarize the points made in the lecture about Agnostids probable living areas, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading about Agnostids living place.
The reading and the lecture are both about agnostids, which were ancient extinct marine arthropod. The author of the reading believes there are several theories of how these animals lived. The lecturer challenges the statements made by the author. she is of the opinion that these theories have serious weaknesses.
First of all, the author suggests that agnostids were fast swimming and active predator. it is mentioned that other arthropods of that time were powerful swimmers and top predators, and so it is likely that agnostids were the same. And even though they were small animals, they could have feed on smaller organisms. The argument is refuted by the lecturer. she says other arthropods that were predators had huge eyes. On the other hand, agnostids had poor eyesights and were sometimes even blind. Furthermore, she argues that there are no evidence of other special sensory organs on them.
Secondly, the article posits that they lived on the seafloor. The article notes there are examples of other arthropods living on the seafloor, and as the same arnostids were scavangers and fed on some bacteria. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that most seafloor dwelling arthropods don't have ability to move fast. Consequently, they occupy small areas and don't spread into new territories. she elaborates on this by mentioning that agnostids were found in multiple areas and spread large distance.
Finally, it is stated that agnostids were parasites. The author establishes that there are many arthropods today are parasites, and likewise agnostids were parasites that lived on ancient fish or other larger arthropods. The lecturer, on the other hand, opposes that parasites usually don't have large population and have certain limits. The case is if too many of them are there, they would kill their host animals fast. she puts forth the idea that agnostids, however, were probably large in number because vast amount of them have been found fossilized.
