Arthropod Relationships

Arthropod Relationships edited by Richard A. Fortey, Richard H. Thomas.

The arthropods contain more species than any other animal group, but the evolutionary pathways which led to their current diversity are still an issue of controversy. Arthropod Relationships provides an overview of our current understanding, responding to the new data arising from sequencing DNA, th...
