Abstract: Abstract Blaxter et al.1 presented the phylogenetic tree of the phylum Nematoda based on the sequences of small subunit (SSU) ribosomal DNA (see also ref. 2). At the level of higher-order classification, this tree is substantially different to traditional taxonomic systems3,4,5. The first branching of the SSU-based phylogenetic tree divides the nematodes into three big groups. Here we point out that three distinct patterns of early embryonic development reported for nematodes are in good agreement with this new classification. Differences in development could be more consistent with the natural nematode system than with the usual morphological criteria.
