i5K Comments for Euperipatoides rowelli
Phylum Onychophora are unique besides Tardigrades in being basal to arthropods, and so have the potential to say more about arthropods than most arthropods can. Euperipatoides rowelli should be chosen for sequencing because it is by far the best-studied species in the Phylum (biodiversity, development, life history, population genetics, functional ecology, behaviour), is unusually abundant, relatively large, can be raised in captivity, and occupies an important model location (Tallaganda, Australia) for studying evolution and ecological function. There is very significant context in community ecology: phylogenetically important animals are co-located at Tallaganda and have been published on (including Collembola, Terricola (flatworms), Mygalomorphs).
