Summary Introduction
To describe: The evolution in crustaceans with reference to annelids and another segmented taxon.
Introduction: The animal kingdom is vast; the arthropods are the large group of animals which have a segmented body. The crustaceans are more common of them as they share the common ancestry pattern. Probably the mode of locomotion was the key among all the arthropods which lead them to become more diverse throughout the time.

The flexibility inherent in a segmented body plan was clearly important to crustacean evolution, but why are crustaceans so much more diverse than annelids, another segmented taxon?
Crustaceans, like annelids, are segmented animals. But crustaceans unlike annelids have tagmata. What are some advantages and disadvantages to this type of segmentation in comparison to annelids?
