	Afrotherian systematics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The existence of this clade, and its affinities with other Afrotherian taxa, is strongly supported by phylogenies based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences, and rare genomic changes such as indels (insertions and deletions), SINES (short interspersed nuclear sequences) and chromosomal rearrangements (Springer et al.
		(2003) reluctantly accepted Afrosoricida as the ordinal name for this clade, a treatment followed by Bronner and Jenkins (2005) who argue that the alternative (and earlier) names "Tenrecoidea" and "Tenrecomorpha" are unsuitable at the ordinal level.
		Subordinal distinction between the tenrecs (Tenrecomorpha) and golden moles (Chrysochloridea) has been motivated based on analyses of both morphological (Butler, 1972, 1988; MacPhee and Novacek, 1993) analyses and the above mentioned molecular studies indicating an early phylogenetic divergence.

	Afrosoricida - Definition, explanation
		The order Afrosoricida (also known as Tenrecomorpha) contains two families of small mammals that were once considered part of the order Insectivora.
		However there have always been opinions suggesting that Tenrecomorpha, or at least the golden moles, are not true Lipotyphlans.
		Genetic evidence supports an association between Tenrecomorpha and various other African mammals known as Afrotheria.

		The order Afrosoricida (also known as Tenrecomorpha) contains two families of small mammals that are traditionally considered to be a part of the order Insectivora.
		These opinions are supported by many genetic studies suggesting an association between Tenrecomorpha and various other African mammals in a proposed superorder known as Afrotheria.
		However there is no strong morphological evidence to link the Afrosoricida together with other Afrotherians, despite the number of genetic studies suggesting this relationship to be accurate.

		The circumscribed ventral striatal target area appears worth investigating in studies of the parallel processing of cortico-limbic information in tenrec as well as in cat and monkey.
		The lesser hedgehog tenrec (Echinops telfairi, Et) is a member of the tenrecomorpha classically considered an insectivoran suborder [76] but actually grouped within the superorder Afrotheria (order Afrosoricida e.g.
		The animals were obtained from our breeding colony [79] built up to investigate their little differentiated forebrain and get an insight into the evolution of the mammalian brain [80,81].

		The families Tenrecidae, Solenodontidae, and Chrysochloridae, were placed in a separate order Deltatheridia.
		Eisenberg (1981) also united the Tenrecidae and Chrysochloridae in a separate order, the Tenrecomorpha.
		In a more recent review, McKenna (1975) elevated the Insectivora to the rank of a grandorder containing two orders: the Erinaceomorpha, with the family Erinaceidae; and the Soricomorpha, with the living families Talpidae, Nesophontidae, Soricidae, Solenodontidae, Tenrecidae, and Chrysochloridae.

	Afrotheria - Golden Moles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		(1999) named this clade the Afrosoricida (African shrew-like mammals), a somewhat inappropriate name since it contains no soricids (shrews) and could engender confusion with the shrew subgenus Afrosorex, but Bronner and Jenkins (2005) accepted this name on the grounds that the alternative (and earlier) names "Tenrecoidea" and "Tenrecomorpha" are unsuitable at the ordinal level.
		Divergence between golden-moles and tenrecs probably occurred about 50 million years ago, with the result that they share few morphological synapomorphies, warranting their allocation to distinct suborders (for which the names Tenrecomorpha and Chrysochloridea should be used).
		Most previous taxonomic revisions of golden moles were largely intuitive, or based on only elementary statistical evaluation of few specimens, leading to conflicting classifications that obscured rather than resolved inter-specific relationships.

	Care of the Madagascan hedgehog tenrec, Echinops telfairi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The phylogeny of insectivores (lipotyphla) is still a matter of debate (3, 4, 5).
		A useful grouping rather than a classification is obtained by subdividing the insectivores into three major populations the erinaceomorpha (including the european hedgehog), the soricomorpha (shrews and moles) and the tenrecomorpha.
		The latter group may be composed of the tenrecidae (tenrecinae and oryzorictinae), the chrysochloridae and the potamogalidae.
