	Shrews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
		The family Soricidae, falling under the order Insectivora, is made up of the smallest mammals, the shrews.
		Shrews all share the common characteristics of small size, a long and pointed snout, smaller than ordinary eyes, and short ears.
		These small mammals are active year round and provide food for a number of species including weasels, hawks, owls, and rattlesnakes.

		Evolutionary relationships among the six extant families, Talpidae (moles), Soricidae (shrews), Erinaceidae (hedgehogs), Tenrecidae (tenrecs), Chryosochloridae (golden moles), and Solenodontidae (solenodons), have remained uncertain based on morphological data.
		This work addressed the phylogenetic relationships among the Talpidae, Soricidae, Erinaceidae, and Tenrecidae based on mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequence data.
		The discrete gamma model of rate heterogeneity disproportionately increased the long branches at the base of Eutheria relative to those at the top of the tree highlighting the potential for misleading results and the need for more dense taxon sampling near the base of the tree.
