Making sense of ‘lower’ and ‘upper’ stem‐group Euarthropoda, with comments on the strict use of the name Arthropoda von Siebold, 1848
@article{OrtegaHernndez2016MakingSO, title={Making sense of ‘lower’ and ‘upper’ stem‐group Euarthropoda, with comments on the strict use of the name Arthropoda von Siebold, 1848}, author={J. Ortega-Hern{\'a}ndez}, journal={Biological Reviews}, year={2016}, volume={91} }
The ever-increasing number of studies that address the origin and evolution of Euarthropoda - whose extant representatives include chelicerates, myriapods, crustaceans and hexapods - are gradually reaching a consensus with regard to the overall phylogenetic relationships of some of the earliest representatives of this phylum. [...] Key Result Here, I review the convoluted terminology associated with the classification of stem-group Euarthropoda, and propose a synapomorphy-based distinction that allows 'lower…Expand Abstract
