The scientific understanding of arthropod phylogeny and evolution
has changed significantly in recent decades. One of the most
momentous alterations involved crustaceans, which are not a
monophyletc group, but are part of a larger group along with
insects: Pancrustacea. The old ideas surrounding crustacean
evolution have served scientists well for many years; it is now
time to turn toward new research by embracing the results derived
from investigations conducted largely within this century. For
example, new definitions have arisen from sources across several
fields of study, and Frederick R. Schram and Stefan Koenemann have
created a book that explores paleobiodiversity and the diversity of
modern body plans. Developments within ontogenetic studies continue
to generate remarkable insights into crustaceomorph evolution in
regard to patterns of embryology and a revolution in the
application of development genetics. Phylogeny techniques of
analysis and new sources of data derived from molecular sequencing
and genetic studies have forced scientists to consider new
hypotheses concerning the interrelationships of all the
pancrustaceans, both the crustaceomorphs and Hexapoda. Yet, some
fossil groups still remain enigmatic (Thylacocephala). Despite
this, research into fossils (even if incompletely understood) fills
in gaps of our knowledge of paleobiodiversity, and it's useful for
many things, including analyzing the origin and early evolution of
Hexapoda. Evolution and Phylogeny of Pancrustacea demonstrates the
use of multiple alternative hypotheses and other techniques through
the well-executed presentation of diverse data sources involving
Pancrustacea. Readers are left with clues to great mysteries,
including the possible pathways of evolution within marine
arthropods.
