An analysis of small subunit ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA) sequences challenged this arrangement by placing acoelomate and pseudocoelomate phyla in more derived positions among the protostomes, and in further defining a clade (Ecdysozoa) of molting animals that includes arthropods and nematodes [ 3 ] . This "Ecdysozoa" hypothesis has influenced diverse fields [ 4 ] and interpretations of developmental evolution in animals [ 5 6 7 ] . Since its publication, evidence has appeared both for and against this hypothesis [ 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ] .
