These rodents are very similar and there clearly hasn't been much published research on them, but what there is has been used and cited appropriately. All are just long enough, and given that most/all of the relevant information from the sources has been used in each case I am happy with the Start-class ratings (i.e. as opposed to Stub). Although certain words and short phrases are close to the sources, this can be explained by the need to use technical terms and particular phrases in order to be precise, and I am satisfied that it is not enough to warrant WP:COPYVIO concerns. The hook is backed up by the references, and it certainly makes sense to have all five in the same hook. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:10, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
