TPO43 Integrated
The reading and the listening are both discussing three possible ways about how agnostids might have lived. While the author of the reading raises three seemingly possible theories, the lecturer challenges what is mentioned by the author and argues that each of them has severe weakness. The lecturer provides three reasons to support her arguments.
First of all, the author points out that since other kinds of primitive arthropods were excellent free-swimming predators, it it likely that agnostids also lived in that way. Nevertheless, the lecturer casts doubt on the idea by saying that free-swimming predators usually have good eyes and strong vision, which help them find smaller organisms, but in fact, the agnostids are blind. Furthermore, she argues that there are also no evidences showing that they have some extra sensors on their body to help them find the food. Consequently, this theory is not convincing.
Secondly, the writer claims that since other primitive arthropods lived on the seafloor, agnostids probably did, too. The speaker, however, rebuts this by asserting that seafloor dwellers cannot move fast or far away, and they can only stay in local area but not distant areas. She elaborates on this idea by suggesting that researchers actually find agnostids on multiple geological regions, which means that they can move fast and far away. Hence, it is unlikely that they lived on the seafloor.
Last but not least, it is stated that many types of present-day arthropods are parasites, so agnostids were possible to be parasites as well. The professor, on the other hand, posits that the population of parasites should not be large, and if there were so many individuals, they would kill the species that they lived on. She puts forth on the idea that agnostids are so many that they would rule out other species that they lived on. As a result, this theory also has serious problem and is not reliable.
