We also confirmed the loss of CASP10 in some rodents (Eckhart et al., 2008) (see Figure 1—figure supplement 4A for CASP8/10 breakdown), revealing that suborder Myomorpha (‘mouse-like’) and ...

An orobasal organ was found in members of the suborders Sciuromorpha, Myomorpha, Anomaluromorpha and Hystricomorpha . Unfortunately, no member of the suborder Castorimorpha was investigated, so far.

The Sciuromorpha and Myomorpha of many are associated into a tribe, Sciurognathi, which is contrasted with the only other tribe of “simplicidentate” rodents, viz. Hystricognathi.

Myomorpha is the largest suborder of rodents, containing around 1130 species, almost a quarter of all mammalian species (Carleton and Musser, 2005). This group includes the superfamilies Muroidea ...

The Sciuromorpha, Hystricognathi, Eulipotyphla, Carnivora, and Chiroptera are absent from the tree, indicating that the CHI3L2 orthologs were lost somewhere along the branches framed in gray in the ...

When looking further from the muroid rodents (Myomorpha), OBPs have also been detected in the urine of highly social African mole rats (Hystricomorpha; Hagemeyer et al., 2011) thus providing evidence ...
