List of eulipotyphlans

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  22:06, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Alright y'all, mammal list #41 and the 6th and final list of Eulipotyphlans: our capstone list for the order! The species lists covered the hedgehogs, moles, shrews, shrews, and more shrews of Eulipotyphla, the 4th-biggest order of Mammalia (behind rats, bats, and monkeys), and this list, like the previous capstone lists, jumps up a level to list out all the genera of the order (and adds the two solenodon species, which are too small to get their own list). This follows on from the formatting of those previous lists, like List of primates, and also like those lists needed some careful structuring of the references to keep the page from getting too long to render. It's all in there though, and ready to review!

With this list, after 5 years we've gotten 15 of the 17 big-enough orders done (10 more have <10 species each), and just have the last two orders to go: Chiroptera (bats) and Rodentia (rodents). Unfortunately, those two have... more than half of all mammal species. Not quite sure how I'm going to tackle those yet! In any case, thanks to all the reviewers who've checked these lists out over the years. -- Pres N  22:06, 30 June 2024 (UTC)


 * AK
 * "exceptions of...all but northern South America" is hard to understand, any way to reword it?
 * "between the...of gymnures" to "between the subfamilies Erinaceinae (hedgehogs) and Galericinae (gymnures)."
 * "split btween...red-toothed shrews" to "split between the subfamilies Crocidurinae (white-toothed shrews), Myosoricinae (African shrews), and Soricinae (red-toothed shrews)."
 * Also for Talpidae.
 * "exact organization of the species" Classification would be a better word than organization.
 * "No species...since 1500 CE" to "No species have gone extinct since 1500 CE"
 * Tables, refs, and images seem fine. AryKun (talk) 14:39, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Support. Another excellent extensive work. Nothing to quibble on prose. Pseud 14 (talk) 18:52, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * My only query is that "Members of the Soricidae family are soricids, and include shrews." sounds like there's something along the lines of "and [something else]" missing at the end (i.e. the use of "include" implies that it covers multiple different types of thing, not just one). If all the soricids are shrews then this could be simplified to "Members of the Soricidae family are soricids, or shrews."
 * Other than that, all good as always! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:58, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
