Morpho-anatomical evolution co-exists with molecular evolution in Crustacea. Evolution seems to differ according to molecules. Sequences of neuropeptides begin to be elucidated: one for RPCH, two for PDH and FMRFamide, several for CHH/MIH/VIH. Molecular phylogeny is easier to investigate with nucleic acids (especially with ribosomal RNAs) than peptidic sequencing.
