Arthropods are the most diverse animal phylum, and their phylogenetic relationships have
been debated for centuries. With the advent of molecular phylogenetics, arthropods were …

Phylogenomics underpins a stable and mostly well-resolved hypothesis for the
interrelationships of extant arthropods. Exceptionally preserved fossils are integrated into …

Despite being among the most celebrated taxa from Cambrian biotas, anomalocaridids
(order Radiodonta) have provoked intense debate about their affinities within the moulting …

The ever‐increasing number of studies that address the origin and evolution of
Euarthropoda–whose extant representatives include chelicerates, myriapods, crustaceans …

Resolving the early evolution of euarthropods is one of the most challenging problems in
metazoan evolution,. Exceptionally preserved fossils from the Cambrian period have …

Phylogenomics reconstructs an arthropod tree in which a monophyletic A rthropoda splits
into P ycnogonida+ E uchelicerata and M yriapoda+ P ancrustacea. The same chelicerate …

Understanding the way in which animals diversified and radiated during their early
evolutionary history remains one of the most captivating of scientific challenges. Integral to …

The rise of arthropods is a decisive event in the history of life. Likely the first animals to have
established themselves on land and in the air, arthropods have pervaded nearly all …

The panarthropod head represents a complex body region that has evolved through the
integration and functional specialization of the anterior appendage-bearing segments …

Implied weighting, a method for phylogenetic inference that actively seeks to downweight
supposed homoplasy, has in recent years begun to be widely utilized in palaeontological …
