Taxa previously proposed to be sister groups to the arthropods include Annelida, Onychophora, Tardigrada and others, but hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships have been conflicting2,3. For example, onychophorans, like arthropods, moult periodically, have an arthropod arrangement of haemocoel1,4, and have been related to… CONTINUE READING
