Molecular methods are becoming increasingly important in systematic acarology. In this
review I describe the properties of the ideal molecular marker and compare these with …

New insights into the anatomy, systematics, and biogeography of centipedes have put these
predatory terrestrial arthropods at the forefront of evolutionary studies. Centipedes have also …

Myriapods (eg, centipedes and millipedes) display a simple homonomous body plan relative
to other arthropods. All members of the class are terrestrial, but they attained terrestriality …

We present parsimony analyses of annelids based on the largest taxon sample and most
extensive molecular data set yet assembled, with two nuclear ribosomal genes (18S rDNA …

The ordinal level phylogeny of the Arachnida and the suprafamilial level phylogeny of the
Opiliones were studied on the basis of a combined analysis of 253 morphological …

Triploblastic relationships were examined in the light of molecular and morphological
evidence. Representatives for all triploblastic “phyla”(except Loricifera) were represented by …

This work expands on a study from 2004 by Mallatt, Garey, and Shultz [Mallatt, JM, Garey,
JR, Shultz, JW, 2004. Ecdysozoan phylogeny and Bayesian inference: first use of nearly …

Orthoptera have been used for decades for numerous evolutionary questions but several of
its constituent groups, notably crickets, still suffer from a lack of a robust phylogenetic …

Myriapods, including the diverse and familiar centipedes and millipedes, are one of the
dominant terrestrial arthropod groups. Although molecular evidence has shown that …

The African whip spider, Damon variegatus, exhibits a broad, discontinuous distribution from
the Congo, through western Tanzania and Zimbabwe, to South Africa and Namibia …
