Abstract: By comparing the segments that make up the head structures of different arthropods, we can work out how related the classes of arthropod are. Until now it has been difficult to equate head structures of crustaceans and insects with those of the chelicerates (spiders and crabs, for example). But two studies based on the expression of developmental genes allow this to be done for the first time.
