The new view of animal phylogeny

Article Abstract:

A conceptual framework of the current understanding of animal phylogeny in light of recent advances has been presented in a study. The study draws on various analyses to build a basic comparative framework of metazoan phylogeny, discusses support, or lack thereof, of major hypotheses and catalogs significant papers for those less familiar with the field.
