Second, in order to place studies of crustacean opsin evolution in context, phylogenetic studies of two crustacean groups (Mysidae and Decapoda) were completed. Studies of Mysidae utilized 16S mtDNA, and 18S and 28S rDNA to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and assess newly developed Bayesian methods of assessing pattern heterogeneity. Using this suite of genetic markers, there are incongruencies between current taxonomy and inferred phylogenetic relationships. Studies of Decapoda assessed phylogenetic relationships and estimated divergence times using 16S mtDNA, H3 nDNA, and 18S and 28S rDNA sequence data in conjunction with a set of eight fossil calibrations. Reconstructed phylogenies show support for two well supported nodes corresponding to the Pleocyemata and the informal 'Reptantia' and place the emergence of the Decapod lineage in the early Devonian (407 MYA).
