Description
In recent years, scientists have made remarkable progress reconstructing the animal
phylogeny. There is broad agreement regarding many deep animal relationships, including
the monophyly of animals, Bilateria, Protostomia, Ecdysozoa, and Spiralia. This stability now
allows researchers to articulate the diminishing number of remaining questions in terms of
well-defined alternative hypotheses. These remaining questions include relationships at the
base of the animal tree, the position of Xenacoelomorpha, and the internal relationships of ...
