	Alopiidae: Thresher Sharks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		These unprecedented results suggest that all these sharks are genetically very similar, having changed relatively little since they diverged from the common ancestor of their meta-group.
		Compagno recently (1990) proposed a close affinity between the Megamouth Shark and the threshers; this is intuitively appealing, as the structure of the second dorsal fin, anal fin, and tail of both groups (Megachasmidae and Alopiidae) is strikingly similar.
		The interpretation followed here (depicted in the cladogram above) is that, 1) the odontaspidids form a primitive sister taxon to the meta-group consisting of the alopiid, megachasmid, and psudocarchariid sharks, and 2) the alopiids branch off next, forming a primitive sister taxon to the megachasmid and pseudocarchariid sharks.

		Diel vertical migration of the bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus), a species possessing orbital retia mirabilia.
		Fishery Bulletin; 1/1/2004; Block, Barbara A. The bigeye thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus, Lowe 1841) is one of three sharks in the family Alopiidae, which occupy pelagic, neritic, and shallow coastal waters throughout the tropics and subtropics (Gruber and Compagno, 1981; Castro, 1983).
		All thresher sharks possess an elongated upper caudal lobe, and the bigeye thresher shark is distinguished from the other alopiid sharks by its large upward-looking eyes and grooves on the top of the head (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1948).

	Lamniformes: Mackerel Sharks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In some lamnoids - such as thresher sharks (family Alopiidae) - the 'intermediate' is not significantly reduced and distinction between lateral and posterior teeth can likewise be very difficult.
		Perhaps the most active lamnoids belong to two families: the mackerel sharks (Lamnidae) - which includes two species of mako (genus Isurus) and the Great White (Carcharodon carcharias) - and the thresher sharks (Alopiidae).
		Lamnids and alopiids have portions of their circulatory system modified in a way which enables them to retain metabolic heat, making them functionally warm-blooded.
