This hypothesis that these form a monophyletic group has been long debated based on morphological evidence, although recent morphological studies strongly support monophyly of Glires.<ref>Meng and Wyss, 2001; Meng et al., 2003</ref> {{Clade | label1=[[Euarchontoglires]] | 1={{Clade | label1='''Glires''' | 1={{Clade | 1=[[Rodent]]ia (rodents) | 2=[[Lagomorpha]] (rabbits, hares, pikas)}} | label2=[[Euarchonta]] | 2={{Clade | 1=[[Treeshrew|Scandentia]] (treeshrews) | label2=[[Primatomorpha]] | 2={{Clade | 1=[[Colugo|Dermoptera]] (flying lemurs) | 2={{Clade | 1=[[Primate]]s (†[[Plesiadapiformes]], [[Strepsirrhini]], [[Haplorrhini]])}} }} }} }} }} ==References== {{Reflist}} {{biology-stub}} [[category:Mammals]]
