Anotations

Scope note:

Order containing around 370 species in three families of shrews, moles, and kin. Moles (family Talpidae) are sometimes classified with hedgehogs in Erinaceomorpha. It is now often classified as a biological clade within the class of mammals, because members apparently are paraphyletic (i.e., a taxonomic group which does not include all the descendants of an ancestral taxon).
