  • , a parasite of arthropods, show the selection pressure that intracellular passengers can exert (see also the primer by Wernegreen in the March issue of PLoS Biology ). And cellfusion experiments hint that biparental inheritance of organelles does indeed cause problems, says Hurst.

  • While the consensus of trees summarized in Table 1is for the most part consistent with the expected monophyly of the protostome genes in our collection (nematodes, arthropods), the branching order is ambiguous.

  • , nematodes) with a false coelom and finally to the bulk of animal phyla having a true coelom (Coelomata) [ 1 2 ] . There has never been complete agreement on animal phylogeny and classification, but most researchers have divided living coelomate animals into deuterostomes (echinoderms, hemichordates, urochordates, cephalochordates, and vertebrates) and protostomes (arthropods, annelids, mollusks, and other phyla) based on differences in early embryonic development.

  • The traditional view is that arthropods are more closely related to annelids than to nematodes, but some recent molecular phylogenies place nematodes and arthropods together in a high-level taxon named Ecdysozoa, which does not include annelids [ 24 25 ] . Other molecular studies give conflicting results [ 26 27 ] .
