Mitogenomics and phylogenomics reveal priapulid worms as extant models of the ancestral Ecdysozoan.
Research into arthropod evolution is hampered by the derived nature and rapid evolution of the best-studied out-group: the nematodes. We consider priapulids as an alternative out-group. Priapulids are a small phylum of bottom-dwelling marine worms; their tubular body with spiny proboscis or introver...
