Abstract
Echinoderm model systems, homology, and phylogenetic inference: comment and reply to Paul (2021)
Highlights
Understanding the phylogenetic relationship among derived blastozoans has been a goal of researchers since phylogenetic methodologies were first applied to Paleozoic echinoderms
We focus on key aspects of philosophy, methodology, and data reproducibility the publication of Paul (2021) raises that need to be addressed and considered by echinoderm researchers as they assess the concept of pan-dichoporite echinoderms

Summary
Understanding the phylogenetic relationship among derived blastozoans has been a goal of researchers since phylogenetic methodologies were first applied to Paleozoic echinoderms. Paul (2021) proposed a new “pan-dichoporites” group to circumscribe early Paleozoic blastozoans.
