Euarchontoglires

  • Giant slide ( Dermoptera )
  • Shrews ( Scandentia )
  • Primates (Primates )
  • Rodents ( Rodentia )
  • Lagomorphs ( Lagomorpha )

The Euarchontoglires ( other synonyms Supra Primates) are a fixed basis of molecular genetic studies superorder within the subclass of the higher mammals. The name, for which there is still no German equivalent to now, is a re-creation of Glires ( rodents), a group which includes the two orders of rodents ( Rodentia ) and lagomorphs ( Lagomorpha ), and Euarchonta, a group of tree shrews ( Scandentia ), primates (Primates ) and giant gliders ( Dermoptera ).

In the late Cretaceous period have become the Euarchontoglires in Eurasia, to which they were initially limited, their sister group, the Laurasiatheria, separated ( the common clade called Boreoeutheria ). Soon thereafter was splitting into groups of Euarchonta and Glires.

Cladogram

The following cladogram shows the time periods in the splitting of the Euarchontoglires for the following taxa:

  • Rodents: Tamias ( chipmunks ) - Castor ( Beaver ) - Pedetes ( spring hares )
  • Lagomorphs: Sylvilagus ( cottontail rabbit) - Ochotona ( pikas )
  • Giant Gliders: Galeopterus - cynocephalus
  • Primates: Lemurs - Microcebus ( mouse lemurs ) - Otolemur ( Riesengalagos ) - Ateles ( spider ) - Macaca ( macaque) - Homo
  • Tree shrews: tupaias - Urogale (Philippines - shrews ) - Ptilocercus ( spring -tail shrews )
