TL;DR: It is concluded that the relationships of the extant arthropod groups as inferred by mitochondrial genomes are highly vulnerable to outgroup choice, data treatment and gene choice, and no consistent alternative hypothesis of Collembola's relationships is supported.

TL;DR: Dynamic Homology and Phylogenetic Systematics: A Unified Approach Using POY is a hybrid book: half algorithmic discussion and half reference manual for the cladogram search program POY, one of the most complete user’s manuals that exists for phylogenetic software.

TL;DR: To address the question of the ecological origin of the springtails, phylogenetic analyses by optimization alignment were performed on D1 and D2 regions of the 28S rDNA for 55 collembolan exemplars and eight outgroups and yielded the same conclusion: semi-aquatic ecology is not ancestral for theSpringtails.

TL;DR: A molecular phylogenetic approach is used to answer the question of whether the diversification of the Neocaledonian cockroach genus Angustonicus belonging to the subfamily Tryonicinae from Australia and New Caledonia is less than two million years old or recent diversifications after Tertiary geological catastrophic events.

TL;DR: Analysis of relationships among basal hexapod orders via a cladistic analysis of sequence data for five molecular markers and 189 morphological characters in a simultaneous analysis framework using myriapod and crustacean outgroups finds stable hypotheses include the monophyly of Diplura, and a sister group relationship between diplura and Protura, contradicting the Ellipura hypothesis.
