==Phylogeny== Five main [[clade]]s are recognized by Jansa & Weksler (2004).<ref name="JansaWeksler2004"/> *Family '''[[Spalacidae]]''': [[Spalacinae]], [[Myospalacinae]], and [[Rhizomyinae]] ([[fossorial]] species of the [[Old World]]) *Family '''[[Calomyscidae]]''': [[Calomyscinae]] ([[Asia]]) *Family '''[[Nesomyidae]]''': [[Petromyscinae]], [[Mystromyinae]], [[Cricetomyinae]], [[Nesomyinae]], and core [[Dendromurinae|dendromurines]] ([[Africa]] and [[Madagascar]]) *Family '''[[Muridae]]''': [[Murinae]], [[Otomyinae]], [[Gerbillinae]], [[Acomyinae]], and [[Lophiomyinae]] ([[Old World]]) *Family '''[[Cricetidae]]''': [[Sigmodontinae]], [[Arvicolinae]], and [[Cricetinae]] ([[New World]]) Together, Muroidea and its [[sister group]] [[Dipodoidea]] form the [[suborder]] [[Myomorpha]]. The following [[phylogeny]] of more than 70 Muroidea [[genus|genera]], based on [[molecular phylogenetic]] analysis of the [[RBP3|Interphotoreceptor Retinoid Binding Protein]] (IRBP) gene, is from Jansa & Weksler (2004: 264).<ref name="JansaWeksler2004">{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1016/j.ympev.2003.07.002 | last1 = Jansa | first1 = S.A. | last2 = Weksler | first2 = M. | title = Phylogeny of muroid rodents: relationships within and among major lineages as determined by IRBP gene sequences | journal = Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution | volume = 31 | issue = 1 | pages = 256β276 | year = 2004 | pmid = 15019624}}</ref> Although [[Platacanthomyidae]] was not analyzed by Jansa & Weksler (2004), a study by Fabre et al. 2012<ref name="Fabre">{{Cite journal|last=Fabre |year=2012 |title= A glimpse on the pattern of rodent diversification: a phylogenetic approach |journal=BMC Evolutionary Biology |volume=12 |issue=1 |pages=88 |display-authors=etal|doi=10.1186/1471-2148-12-88 |pmid=22697210 |pmc=3532383 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2012BMCEE..12...88F }}</ref> suggests that it is the most [[basal (phylogenetics)|basal]] lineage of Muroidea. {{clade |style=font-size:85%;line-height:80% |label1='''Muroidea''' |1={{clade |label1= |1='''[[Platacanthomyidae]]'''<ref name="Fabre"/> |2={{clade |label1='''[[Spalacidae]]''' |1={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1=[[Spalacinae]] |1=''[[Spalax]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1=[[Myospalacinae]] |1=''[[Myospalax]]'' |label2=[[Rhizomyinae]] |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Tachyoryctes]]'' |2=''[[Rhizomys]]'' }} }} }} |label2=[[Eumuroida]] |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1='''[[Calomyscidae]]''' |1=''[[Calomyscus]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1='''[[Nesomyidae]]''' |1={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Hypogeomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Nesomys]]'' |2=''[[Brachyuromys]]'' }} }} |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Monticolomys]]'' |2=''[[Macrotarsomys]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Brachytarsomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Gymnuromys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Voalavo]]'' |2=''[[Eliurus]]'' }} }} }} }} |3={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1=[[Petromyscinae]] |1=''[[Petromyscus]]'' |label2=[[Mystromyinae]] |2=''[[Mystromys]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Cricetomys]]'' |2=''[[Beamys]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Saccostomus]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Steatomys]]'' |2=''[[Dendromus]]'' }} }} }} }} }} |label2='''[[Muridae]]''' |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1=[[Lophiomyinae]] |1=''[[Lophiomys]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1=[[Gerbillinae]] |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Tatera]]'' |2=''[[Meriones (rodent)|Meriones]]'' }} |label2=[[Acomyinae]] |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Lophuromys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Deomys]]'' |2=''[[Acomys]]'' }} }} }} }} |label2=[[Murinae]] |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Phloeomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Micromys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Maxomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Niviventer]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Sundamys]]'' |2=''[[Rattus]]'' }} }} }} }} |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Rhynchomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Otomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Aethomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Rhabdomys]]'' |2=''[[Grammomys]]'' }} }} }} |3={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Tokudaia]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Mouse#Subgenera|Mus]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Mastomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Praomys]]'' |2=''[[Hylomyscus]]'' }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} |2={{clade |label1='''[[Cricetidae]]''' |1={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1=[[Cricetinae]] |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Cricetulus]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Phodopus]]'' |2=''[[Mesocricetus]]'' }} }} }} |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1=[[Tylomyinae]] |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Tylomys]]'' |2=''[[Nyctomys]]'' }} |label2=[[Neotominae]] |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Neotoma]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Scotinomys]]'' |2=''[[Peromyscus]]'' }} }} }} |3={{clade |label1=[[Arvicolinae]] |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Microtus]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Eothenomys]]'' |2=''[[Clethrionomys]]'' }} }} |label2=[[Sigmodontinae]] |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Sigmodon]]'' |2=''[[Rheomys]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Scapteromys]]'' |2=''[[Akodon]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Reithrodon]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Thomasomys]]'' |2=''[[Rhipidomys]]'' }} }} |3={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Zygodontomys]]'' |2=''[[Scolomys]]'' |3={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Oryzomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Oligoryzomys]]'' |2=''[[Nectomys]]'' }} }} }} |4={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Delomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Phyllotis]]'' |2=''[[Calomys]]'' }} }} }} |5={{clade |label1= |1={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Juliomys]]'' |2=''[[Irenomys]]'' }} |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Wiedomys]]'' |2={{clade |label1= |1=''[[Notiomys]]'' |2=''[[Abrothrix]]'' }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }}
