With rich detail and vibrancy, internationally recognized experts
across several fields address the evolution and phylogenetic
relationships of the Arthropoda . They offer innovative ideas to
reevaluate the phylogeny of major arthropod groups, discuss the
evolution of arthropod eyes in a phylogenetic context, present a
comprehensive overview of appendage loss and regeneration, and
address the most recent molecular phylogenetic data, including
nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. They also discuss
relationships between insects and crustaceans, offer diverse
approaches to evaluate fossil evidence, and evaluate competing
hypotheses for arthropod placement in the animal kingdom.
.,."contributes important new insights into the rapidly changing
field of evolutionary relationship within the arthropods, revealing
a process in which the traditional view of phylogenetic
relationships is being reevaluated and revolutionized. ...Fred
Schram, as well as the many researchers honouring him with this
volume, have markedly advanced our present understanding of
arthropod phylogeny, while also providing a template for testing of
arthropod relationships as the field advances in years to come."
-Christoph D. Schubart, Universitat Regensburg and Carsten H. G.
Muller, Institut fur Biowissenschaften, Universitat Rostock,
Germany, Systematic Biology, Vol. 55 "It is a highly appropriate
collection of thought-provoking and innovative papers...which
should do Fred Schram proud. ...for anyone who is interested in
current views on arthropods and/or crustacean relationships, and
who does not shy away from interpretations that deviate strongly
from the general views, this is a must-have volume." -Contributions
toZoology "Reassuringly, perhaps, like any other multiauthored
volume dealing with aspects of arthropod phylogeny, this one
includes plenty that is controversial. ...This book...will serve as
a marker in the development of ideas of crustacean and arthropod
relationships." -Derek E.G. Briggs, Department of Geology and
Geophysics, Yale University, The Palaeontology Newsletter, Vol. 61
