User:Manudouz/sandbox/Template:Cladogram of Echimyini genera/doc

Genus-level cladogram of the Echimyini rodents, based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences.

The informal clade name "Dactylomines" is indicated to reflect the shared unique features of the bamboo rats Dactylomys, Olallamys, and Kannabateomys.

The informal name "Eumysopines" is provided to show that Lonchothrix and Mesomys have often been classified in this otherwise polyphyletic subfamily.

The root of the cladogram is also indicated: it can be seen as the most recent common ancestor of all taxa of the phylogenetic tree.
