Fig. 7

Patterns of 5HT-ir neurons in ganglia of the VNC for major euarthropod taxa. Blue, red, and green neurons indicate anterior, medial, and posterior somata, respectively. Gray neurons are those somata that cannot unequivocally be assigned to the ground patterns. Open circles in the archaeognathan and zygentoman patterns show neurons that are part of the thoracic but not of the abdominal pattern (see [1] for details). In Zygentoma, identification of anterior serially homologous neurons proved to be impossible due to intra- and interspecific variations in number, projection pattern and cell body size (marked by ‘?’, compare [1]). Red box encloses taxa, constituting the Miracrustacea (after [48]). Patterns modified from: 1 [22]; 2 [27]; 3 this study; 4 [21]; 5 [23]; 6 [24]; 7 [1]
