Glires

Goldmantelziesel ( Spermophilus lateralis)

As Glires ( German and rodents) is a taxon denotes that summarizes the two orders of mammals rodents ( Rodentia ) and lagomorphs ( Lagomorpha ).

Originally, the rodents were combined with lagomorphs to a common code Glires. Once this concept had been completely rejected in between, there is renewed and proponents of a theory according to which there is a close relationship between the two taxa. Because of to be found only in them features the monophyly of lagomorphs is now well established and separate since at least 70 million years of development history justify the creation of a separate order. Rodents and lagomorphs can be based on common characteristics such as the incisors but only traced back to a common ancestral stock them, which is why they are grouped together as a taxon Glires.

The lagomorphs are thus the sister group of rodents, with which they are united to form a common taxon ( Glires ). You are faced within the Euarchontoglires the Euarchonta consisting of tree shrews ( Scandentia ), Primates (Primates ) and giant gliders ( Dermoptera ):
