[edit] Eulipotyphla
MSW3 does not use Eulipotyphla. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- I know, but the MSW 3 classification seems to be out of date in this case, as molecular data clearly show that MSW 3's Soricomorpha is non-monophyletic (hedgehogs and shrews are more closely related to each other than to moles), which would suggest a return to Eulipotyphla. I think [1] clearly shows that Eulipotyphla is still in use, slightly more so than Soricomorpha. I think this list should focus on long-defunct taxa rather than on taxonomic disputes that are still in existance. Ucucha 16:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
