  • Whether Euchoreutes is actually a member of either of the two dipodid clades that have been recognised in phylogenetic studies of this group - Dipodinae and Allactaginae (Shenbrot 1992) - remains uncertain.

  • So exactly how does Euchoreutes fit into dipodid phylogeny?

    Archive 2006-03-01 Darren Naish 2006

  • One study of dipodid phylogeny based on cranial characters (Dempsey 1991) didn’t include Euchoreutes as no skulls were available for examination, which isn’t surprising given that only a handful of specimens are present in museums worldwide (Nowak 1999).

  • On the subject of dipodid phylogeny I can’t resist mentioning Krasnov & Shenbrot’s (2002) study of co-evolution between fleas and jerboas.
