Euarchontoglires Orders is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers the orders of primates, rodents, rabbits, treeshrews and colugos. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that it is an order of primates, rodents, lagomorphs or their close relatives. It excludes the laurasiatherian and afrotherian orders. Members are placed by the classification their cited article gives, not by common name or appearance alone.
