Recent molecular analyses indicate that crustaceans and hexapods form a clade (Pancrustacea or Tetraconata), but relationships among its constituent lineages, including monophyly of crustaceans, are controversial. [] Key Result Our phylogenetic analysis of three protein–coding nuclear genes from 62 arthropods and lobopods (Onychophora and Tardigrada) demonstrates that Hexapoda is most closely related to the crustaceans Branchiopoda (fairy shrimp, water fleas, etc.) and Cephalocarida + Remipedia, thereby…

Arthropod molecular divergence times and the Cambrian origin of pentastomids

Bayesian phylogenetic and relaxed-clock analyses of molecular data help reconcile apparently contradictory views: a pentastomid-branchiuran grouping is recovered, but this clade is the sister group to other Tetraconata, whereas all other crustaceans form a monophyletic group that is sister to hexapods.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of Hexapoda and suggest the paraphyly of Entognatha

This is the first study to include all hexapod orders in a phylogenetic analysis using multiple nuclear protein-coding genes to investigate the phylogeny of Hexapoda, with an emphasis on Entognatha, and shows that Protura is the sister lineage to all other hexapods and that DiplURA or Diplura + Collembola is closely related to Ectognatha.

On the phylogenetic position of insects in the Pancrustacea clade

Molecular synapomorphies in low homoplastic regions are reported, which support the clade Hexapoda + Branchiopoda + Maxillopoda and the monophyletic Malacostraca including Phyllocarida.

Pancrustacean phylogeny in the light of new phylogenomic data: support for Remipedia as the possible sister group of Hexapoda.

This is the first time that a sister group relationship of Remipedia and Hexapoda has been inferred using a comprehensive phylogenomic data set that is based on EST data, and shows that selecting data subsets with increased overall signal can help to identify and prevent artifacts in phylogenetic analyses.

Remarkable convergent evolution in specialized parasitic Thecostraca (Crustacea)

Analysis of DNA sequences and DNA maximum likelihood and morphological-DNA Bayesian analysis trees indicate a convergent evolution of the very similar and highly reduced slug-shaped stages found during metamorphosis of both the Rhizocephala and the Facetotecta.

Pancrustacean Evolution Illuminated by Taxon-Rich Genomic-Scale Data Sets with an Expanded Remipede Sampling

Mapping key crustacean tagmosis patterns and developmental characters across the revised phylogeny suggests that the ancestral pancrustacean was relatively short-bodied, with extreme body elongation and anamorphic development emerging later in pancrustACEan evolution.

The Pancrustacean Conundrum: A Conflicted Phylogeny with Emphasis on Crustacea

The major lineages of Pancrustacea are introduced and the evidence for monophyly within these groups are discussed and a summary of current knowledge of pancrustacean phylogeny will be followed by a brief discussion of new emergent methods in the field that can be applied to future phylogenetic and phylogenomic studies.

Phylogenetic position of the Pentastomida and (pan)crustacean relationships

Gen arrangement comparisons strongly support an unforeseen assemblage of pentastomids with maxillopod and cephalocarid crustaceans, to the exclusion of remipedes, branchiopods, malacostracans and hexapods.

Phylogeny of Basal Hexapod Lineages and Estimates of Divergence Times

The analysis recovered a monophyletic Thysanura sensu lato (Archaeognatha + Zygentoma) as the sister group to Pterygota, a conclusion that is consistent with precladistic notions of hexapod systematics but conflicts with current understanding of morphological evolution.

Crustacean phylogeny inferred from 18S rDNA

Resolution concerning issues of higher-order crustacean phylogeny remains elusive even after years of thorough morphological and palaeontological scrutiny. Surprisingly, there is as yet no consensus…

The most parsimonious trees based on 211 non‐sequence characters (273 apomorphic states) support traditional higher taxa as clades, including Mandibulata, Crustacea, Atelocerata, Myriapoda, and Hexapoda and monophyly of Chelicerata is maintained under a range of transition/transversion and third codon weights.

The potential weaknesses of limited character and taxon sampling are addressed in a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analysis of 64 species sampled across all extant orders of placental mammals, providing new insight into the pattern of the early placental mammal radiation.

Elongation factor-2: a useful gene for arthropod phylogenetics.

Elongation factor-2 is now the second protein-encoding, nuclear gene (in addition to RNA polymerase II) to support Pancrustacea over Atelocerata, and the discrepancy between results derived from molecular and morphological data deserves greater attention.

Molecular evidence for inclusion of the phylum pentastomida in the crustacea

Comparisons of nucleotide sequences of 18s ribosomal RNA from the pentastome Porocephalus crotali, the branchiuran crustacean fish louse Argulus nobilis, and representatives of the Annelida, Chelicerata, Myriapoda, and Insecta support an Argulus/PorocephaZus clade, providing strong support for the proposal that tongue worms are highly modified crustaceans closely related to fish lice.
