Taxonomy and Phylogeny
The order Scandentia contains a single extant family, Tupaiidae, which encompasses 7 genera and approximately 20 recognized species. The largest genus is Tupaia, which includes the Common Tree Shrew (Tupaia glis). Phylogenetic analysis consistently places Scandentia as the sister group to Primates, though some recent genomic studies suggest a closer, albeit distant, relationship to Dermoptera (colugos) within the superorder Euarchonta [^3].
