Abstract
The evolutionary relationships among the four major lineages of arthropods remain controversial, despite extensive study. We report here a derived gene rearrangement common to insects and crustaceans but absent in the other arthropod groups. This finding strongly supports an insect-crustacean evolutionary lineage that is separate from those leading to myriapods and chelicerates.
