Phylotranscriptomics to Bring the Understudied into the Fold: Monophyletic Ostracoda, Fossil Placement, and Pancrustacean Phylogeny

Nine new ostracod transcriptomes combined with morphology, fossils and existing sequence partitions support major pancrustacean groupings in selected analyses, but ostracod monophyly and several deep nodes change with gene-rate filters, outgroups and data combination.

The Pancrustacea evidence route navigation entity is source-linked only to the named specimen, dataset and analysis dossiers already cited by its range ledger. Its displayed span is a study-bounded route or sample envelope, not a biological taxon, ancestor sequence, global FAD/LAD or exact origin interval.
