- Phylogenetic analyses of a wide variety of gene sequences all support the hypothesis that hexapods and crustaceans form a monophyletic group to the exclusion of myriapods and chelicerates.
- Major sections cover the relationships and evolution of each order of hexapods, or six-legged creatures.
- Presumably (assuming insects do derive from Crustacea) primitive hexapods evolved from marginal marine and amphibious crustaceans during the late Silurian or early Devonian.
- There are three lineages of primitively wingless hexapods that lack a dorsal appendage branch, and one, the Archaeognatha, with such a branch.
2A six-legged robot. each of the hexapod's legs are equipped with pressure sensors which allow the bot to respond to its terrain Example sentencesExamples - The hexapod is ideal for many applications including industrial automation and manufacturing.
- The hexapod had to be considerably lightened and overhauled with a body made from carbon fiber instead of ABS plastic.
- We just saw a hexapod which deposits hot glue as it roams.
- It is actually the second version of the largest all-terrain hexapod in the world.
