ecdysozoan
Ecdysozoa () is a group of protostome animals, including Arthropoda (insects, chelicerata, crustaceans, and myriapods), Nematoda, and several smaller phyla. The grouping of these animal phyla into a single clade was first proposed by Eernisse et al. (1992) based on a phylogenetic analysis of 141 morphological characters of ultrastructural and embryological phenotypes. This clade, that is, a group consisting of a common ancestor and all its descendants, was formally named by Aguinaldo et al. in 1997, based mainly on phylogenetic trees constructed using 18S ribosomal RNA genes.A large study in 2008 by Dunn et al. strongly supported the monophyly of Ecdysozoa.The group Ecdysozoa is supported by many morphological characters, including growth by ecdysis with moulting of the cuticle without mitosis in the epirdermis under control of the prohormone ecdysone, and internal fertilization.The group was initially contested by a significant minority of biologists. Some argued for groupings based on more traditional taxonomic techniques, while others contested the interpretation of the molecular data.
