The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The New View of Animal Phylogeny (2004, background): “Annelida Annelida encompasses a greater diversity of animal body plans than traditionally recognized (McHugh 2000, Halanych et al. 2002).”
Phylogeny of oligochaetous Clitellata (2005, background): “For instance, no one has yet established which other annelids are the sistergroup to Clitellata (Purschke et al., 1993; Westheide, 1997; Rouse & Fauchald, 1997; McHugh, 2000; Purschke, 2002).”
Sense organs in polychaetes (Annelida) (2005, background): “Thus, according to our present knowledge, the nuchal organ of Annelida either represents an autapomorphy of Annelida, or in case of a sister-group relationship between Polychaeta and Clitellata, an autapomorphy of the former (see Purschke, 2002a).”
On the ground pattern of Annelida (2002, background): “The structure of the body as described above in rough outline exhibits an incredible adaptive potency, which has led to an extraordinary evolutionary differentiation and rapid radiation (McHugh 2000).”
18S rDNA phylogeny of Clitellata (Annelida) (2004, background): “1996; McHugh 1997, 2000; Winnepenninckx et al .”
