Abstract
Resolution concerning issues of higher-order crustacean phylogeny remains elusive even after years of thorough morphological and palaeontological scrutiny. Surprisingly, there is as yet no consensus regarding even the number of constituent crustacean classes. One view (Schram, 1986) based on a cladistic analysis of morphological characters suggests there are four classes: Remipedia, Phyllocarida, Maxillopoda and Malacostraca (Figure 14.1(a)); an alternative cladistic analysis (Brusca and Brusca, 1990) suggests there are five: Remipedia, Branchiopoda, Cephalocarida, Maxillopoda and Malacostraca (Figure 14.1(b)). Still another view (Bowman and Abele, 1982), presented as a classification rather than a phylogeny, divides crustaceans into six classes: the five aforementioned groups and the Ostracoda (Figure 14.1(c)).
