The colonization of land by animals: molecular phylogeny and divergence times among arthropods Davide Pisani, Laura L Poling, Maureen Lyons-Weiler, S Hedges BMC Biology 2004, 2:1 (19 January 2004) An unexpectedly close relationship between myriapods (millipedes, centipedes) and chelicerates (spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs) is revealed by a molecular phylogenetic study, which also suggests arthropods adapted to terrestrial environments relatively late in their evolutionary history.
