topology · taxonomy
Broad living-family sampling resolves a sampled pycnogonid tree; it does not date the fossil origin.

topology · mediumPhylogenomic integration across 89 sea-spider species and all living families supports a sampled topology for Pycnogonida. The result concerns sampled living relationships and does not directly date the fossil origin or global first appearance of sea spiders.
