Myriapoda

The Myriapoda root display replaces the legacy 443 Ma value with a 437–0 Ma total-group navigation envelope anchored by Llandoverian Waukartus and living myriapods; Waukartus is recovered on the stem and is not a crown first appearance. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.
