@article{Abele1992PhylogenyOS, title={Phylogeny of Selected Maxillopodan and Other Crustacean Taxa Based on 18S Ribosomal Nucleotide Sequences: A Preliminary Analysis}, author={Lawrence G. Abele and Trisha Spears and Won-Jai Kim and Marcia A. Applegate}, journal={Acta Zoologica}, year={1992}, volume={73}, pages={373-382} }
Relationships among the following taxa were examined based on 18S ribosomal RNA and DNA nucleotide sequences: Branchiopoda (Branchinecta packardi), Ostracoda (two podocopid species), Branchiura (Argulus nobilis), Pentastomida (Porocephalus crotali), Copepoda (Calanus pacificus, Macrocyclops albidus), Thoracica (Balanus eburneus, Calantica villosca), Acrothoracica (Trypetesa lampas), and Decapoda (Procambarus leonensis, Callinectes sapidus). Phylogenetic relationships were inferred by maximum…

Phylogenetic Study of Cirripedes and Selected Relatives (Thecostraca) Based on 18s Rdna Sequence Analysis
- Biology
- 1994
It is concluded that the Thecostraca, represented here by the subclasses Ascothoracida and Cirripedia (the latter including the Acrothoracica, Rhizocephala, and Thoracica), is a monophyletic taxon.
Molecular phylogeny of Ostracoda (Crustacea) inferred from 18S ribosomal DNA sequences: implication for its origin and diversification
- Biology
- 2003
The tree topology and the crustacean fossil record suggest that the lineage of podocopidans and platycopidans should have separately been established already in the Cambrian, although there is no ostracod fossil record in that time period.
Mitochondrial and nuclear rRNA based copepod phylogeny with emphasis on the Euchaetidae (Calanoida)
- Biology
- 1999
Phylogenetic mapping using the most parsimonious 16S tree suggests that the morphological synapomorphies distinguishing the genus Euchaeta evolved independently twice during the history of the Euchaetidae, and that a bathypelagic, vertically migrating lifestyle characteristic of Paraeuchaeta is an ancestral trait of the family Echaetidae which was lost apomorphically by EuchaETA.
REANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE CIRRIPEDIA AND THE ASCOTHORACIDA AND THE PHYLOGENETIC POSITION OF THE FACETOTECTA (MAXILLOPODA: THECOSTRACA) USING 18S rDNA SEQUENCES
- Biology
- 2002
The morphological hypothesis that the cirripedes form a monophyletic group, with the Acrothoracica as sister group to the Thoracica + Rhizocephala, strongly supports the model of evolution that fits the data best, and maximum parsimony approaches.
Molecular phylogeny of the mud lobsters and mud shrimps (Crustacea : Decapoda : Thalassinidea) using nuclear 18S rDNA and mitochondrial 16S rDNA
- Biology
- 2002
Maximum-likelihood and Bayesian analyses show equivocal support for the monophyly of the Thalassinidea, but show strong support for division of the infraorder into two major clades.
First observations on the phylogeny of the families Gammaridae, Crangonyctidae, Melitidae, Niphargidae, Megaluropidae and Oedicerotidae (Amphipoda, Crustacea), using small subunit rDNA gene sequences

This study examines amphipod phylogeny based on small subunit (18S) rDNA sequence data and discusses the evolution of cephalothoracic apodemes in the light of other phylogenetic hypotheses resulting from molecular data.
Cladistic analysis of the Cirripedia Thoracica
- Biology, Environmental Science
- 1995
A cladistic analysis of the Cirripedia Thoracica using morphological characters and the Acrothoracica and Ascothoracida as outgroups reveals that several key questions in cirripede phylogeny remain unsolved, notably the position of shell-less forms and the transition from `pedunculate' to `sessile' barnacles.

The results of maximum parsimony analyses are congruent with major aspects of earlier hypotheses on isopod phylogeny and a major monophyletic group found in the molecular phylogenies and also supported by distinct morphological characters is named Scutocoxifera tax.

Phylogeny of seven groups of metazoan parasitic groups is reviewed, based on both morphological and molecular data, and the lack of relevant information about the enigmatic ectoproctan parasite Buddenbrockia is emphasised.

Comparisons among species revealed that the nucleotide sequences of the 3 species of Procambarus are virtually identical, differing in only 3 of more than 1,500 nucleotides, and there is sufficient variation for phylogenetic analysis.

Three new arthropods in uncompressed condition have been discovered in Upper Cambrian limestone nodules of Vastergotland, Sweden and their morphology provides new insights into the evolutionary path and progressive development of ground plan characteristics along the stem-lineage and gives further support for the monophyletic origin of 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.

Cladistic analysis of characters of Cambrian and living representatives (excluding Uniramia) shows that trilobites and chelicerates are relatively advanced compared with "crustaceans," and there are doubts whether the latter constitute a national group.

Homoplasy Excess Ratios: New Indices for Measuring Levels of Homoplasy in Phylogenetic Systematics and a Critique of the Consistency Index
- Biology
- 1989
Hers is shown to be more appropriate than CI in comparative taxonomic studies that wish to measure the average level of homoplasy in data sets involving different groups of taxa or different characters, and a new index, the Homoplasy excess ratio (HER), is introduced that takes into account the expected increase in overall homoplASY levels with increasing numbers ofTaxa in systematic studies.
