All available biological, ultrastructural, and molecular data support the conclusion that the cirripedian suborders, Rhizocephala and Thoracica, are closely related. Williamson’s speculations (Williamson, D. I., 2014. The origin of barnacles (Thecostraca, Cirripedia). Crustaceana, 87: 755-765) that the so-called hybridogenesis can explain how Rhizocephala evolved, rest on a selective choice of other authors’ data and an ignorance of solid facts derived from decades of comparative anatomical and molecular studies.

Toutes les données biologiques, ultrastructurales et moléculaires disponibles appuient la conclusion que les sous-ordres de Cirripèdes, Rhizocephala et Thoracica, sont étroitement apparentés. Les spéculations de Williamson (Williamson, D. I., 2014. The origin of barnacles (Thecostraca, Cirripedia)) selon lesquelles la soit-disant hybridogenèse pourrait expliquer comment les Rhizocephala ont évolué, reposent sur un choix sélectif de données d’autres auteurs et sur une ignorance de faits solides tirés de décennies d’études moléculaires et d’anatomie comparative.
