Gaubert & Veron (2003)


 * From: Small_Indian_civet

A phylogenetic study showed that the small Indian civet is closely related to the genera Civettictis and Viverra. It was estimated that the Civettictis-Viverra clade diverged from Viverricula around 16.2 Mya. The authors suggested that the subfamily Viverrinae should be bifurcated into Genettinae including Poiana and Genetta, and Viverrinae including Civettictis, Viverra and Viverricula. The following cladogram is based on this study.


 * Added section to article Viverridae

The following cladogram shows the phylogenetic relationships for the revised Viverridae, based on the molecular genetics study of Gaubert & Cordeiro-Estrela (2006),, with additional species placed according to the supertree study of Nyakatura & Bininda-Emonds (2012).

The cladogram below is based on the results of a 2005 study by Ewa Barycka of the Polish Academy of Sciences and a 2009 study by Marie-Lilith Patou, of the National Museum of Natural History (France), and colleagues:

Hyenas diverged  from  the  stem  feliform  in  the  Oligocene  and  transitioned  through  six  ecomorph  groups  from  civet-like insectivores/omnivores through generalised jackal-like meat and small bone eaters to the fully developed modern bone crushers. This middle phase is well represented by the four hyaenid species that have been described from the South African fossil site of Langebaanweg (LBW) E Quarry (Figure 1): Chasmaporthetes australis, Hyaenictitherium namaquensis, Hyaenictis hendeyi and Ikelohyaena abronia.

Molecular
New cladogram showing the phylogenetic relationships between the four extant hyaenidae species, based on the genetic analysis of Koepfli et al (2006).

Morphological
The following cladogram illustrates the phylogenetic relationships between extant and extinct hyaenids based on the morphological analysis by Werdelin & Solounias (1991).

Phylogeny
The following cladogram illustrates the phylogenetic relationships between extant and extinct hyaenids based on the morphological analysis by Werdelin & Solounias (1991), as updated by Turner et al (2008).

A more recent molecular analysis gives a slightly different phylogenetic relationship between the four extant hyaenidae species (Koepfli et al, 2006 ).
