		They found that the mole-rat subfamilies (Spalacinae and Rhizomyinae) were the sister group to all other muroids, but they were unable to resolve the branching pattern, among most of the remaining subfamilies and speculated that robust resolution may never be achieved.
		These are the Calomyscinae, an African clade (Nesomyinae, Petromyscinae, Dendromurinae, Cricetomyinae), a "cricetid group" (Cricetinae, Arvicolinae, Sigmodontinae, Neotominae, Tylomyinae), and a "murid group" (Murinae, Deomyinae, Gerbillinae).
		The Calomyscinae are sister to the other three clades, but support for this relationship is weak (57% ML bootstrap, 0.68 posterior probability "pp").

	What Adrienne Thinks About That: Quotable Saturday
		Members of Calomyscinae resemble mice, while Cricetinae species have large cheek pouches, a wide body, and a short tail.
		Genus members are found at elevations of between 1,300 and 11,500 feet (400 and 3,500 meters) in the Caucasus and in Turkmenistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, occupying barren hillsides as well as monsoon regions.
		Calomyscinae species breed from spring to autumn, with females annually producing two litters, each containing three to seven young.

		No one really knows wtf Calomyscinae is, but because it is under 5.
		Mouse-like hamsters are a group of small rodents found in Syria, Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

	Matsuda, Y (Yoichi)
		The chromosome-2-specific sequence was conserved in two genera, Mesocricetus and Cricetulus, and a low copy number of repetitive sequences on the heterochromatic chromosome arms were conserved in the subfamily Cricetinae but not in the subfamily Calomyscinae.
		By contrast, the other type of repetitive sequences on the heterochromatic chromosome arms, which had sequence similarities to a LINE sequence of rodents, was conserved through the three subfamilies, Cricetinae, Calomyscinae and Murinae.
		The nucleotide divergence of the repetitive sequences of heterochromatin was well correlated with the phylogenetic relationships of the Cricetinae species, and each sequence has been independently amplified and diverged in the same genome.

	N.A.P.A.K - The Mouselike Hamster - Article Archives
		Although not a highly social animal, it nonetheless does seem prepared to tolerate other individuals of the same species, in contrast to many other hamsters that are firmly antisocial.
		So atypical is it from all other hamsters, that it is placed in the subfamily Sigmodontinae (or the Calomyscinae; opinions vary), rather than in the Cricetinae to which the majority of hamsters belong.
		Mammalogists fail to agree on how many species of Mouselike Hamster exist.
