The discovery that terrestrial insects (Hexapoda) are more closely related to aquatic Crustacea than to the terrestrial centipedes and millipedes. From Wordnik.com. [Naturejobs - All Jobs] Reference
In addition to Hexapoda, Pancrustacea includes three major extant lineages of 'crustaceans', each spanning a significant range of morphological disparity. From Wordnik.com. [Naturejobs - All Jobs] Reference
Finally, within Pancrustacea we identify Xenocarida as the long-sought sister group to the Hexapoda, a result confirming that 'crustaceans' are not monophyletic. From Wordnik.com. [Naturejobs - All Jobs] Reference
Within the insect group Hexapoda, the good news for taxonomists who have grouped insects according to body shape and features is that they were pretty much on the mark, Shultz added. From Wordnik.com. [PhysOrg.com - latest science and technology news stories] Reference
Now, after analyzing 62 shared genetic sequences across all the arthropods, the researchers are putting the strange shrimp together with the six-legged insects, Hexapoda, to form a new group they dubbed Miracrustacea, or "surprising crustaceans.".

He works out the interesting view that there is some connection between classificatory groups and adaptational forms, especially such as are connected with the function of locomotion: -- "Based upon a common characteristic method of locomotion are whole or nearly whole sub-phyla (Hexapoda), classes (mammals and reptiles, birds, fishes, gastropods, pteropods, brachiopods, Bryozoa.
