“…The systematic community has necessarily progressed from candidate genes through EST-based methods to 454 and Illumina-based transcriptome and genome datasets to resolve major relationships among the animal phyla (e.g., Dunn et al, 2008;Hejnol et al, 2009;Nosenko et al, 2013;Ryan et al, 2013;Moroz et al, 2014). Long outstanding issues have been resolved for within-phylum relationships among arthropods, molluscs, and annelids, to mention just some of the largest animal phyla (e.g., Meusemann et al, 2010;Kocot et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2011;Struck et al, 2011;von Reumont et al, 2012;Andrade et al, 2014;Weigert et al, 2014). A third wave now focuses on resolving lower-level phylogenetic questions, relying almost entirely on Illumina-based technology (e.g., Johnson et al, 2013; Kocot et al, 2013;Wheat and Wahlberg, 2013;Dell'Ampio et al, 2014;Fernández et al, 2014aFernández et al, , 2014b.…”
