scandentia การใช้

• Recent studies place Scandentia as sister of the Glires, invalidating Euarchonta.
• Scandentia has little economic significance because they do little damage to crops or plantations.
• Since 1972, the treeshrew families Tupaiidae and Ptilocercidae are grouped in the order Scandentia.
• Helgen contributed the following sections to MSW3 : Order Scandentia, Family Aplodontiidae and Family Castoridae.
• This may be associated with scent marking, as many of the Scandentia have scent glands on their throats.
• Other interpretations link the Dermoptera and Scandentia together in a group called Sundatheria as the sister group of the primates.
• One study based on DNA analysis suggests that Scandentia and Primates are sister clades, but did not discuss the position of Dermoptera.
• Some interpretations of the molecular data link Primates and Dermoptera in a clade ( mirorder ) known as Primatomorpha, which is the sister of Scandentia.
• Both species of Dermoptera are classified under the superorder Euarchonta which includes the Scandentia and the primates, as well as an extinct order of mammals, the Plesiadapiformes.
• Data from both mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) and nuclear DNA ( nDNA ) indicate that primates belong to the group of Euarchontoglires, together with Rodentia, Lagomorpha, Dermoptera, and Scandentia.
• Bats were formerly grouped in the superorder Archonta, along with the treeshrews ( Scandentia ), colugos ( Dermoptera ), and the primates, because of the apparent similarities between Megachiroptera and such mammals.
• Although it is known that Scandentia is one of the most basal Euarchontoglire clades, the exact phylogenetic position is not yet considered resolved, and it may be a sister of Glires, Primatomorpha or Dermoptera or to all other Euarchontoglires.
