About 40% of all mammal species are rodents. They are native to all major land masses except for <a href="/wiki/Antarctica" title="Antarctica">Antarctica</a>, and several oceanic islands, though they have subsequently been introduced to most of these land masses by human activity. </p><p>Rodents are extremely diverse in their ecology and lifestyles and can be found in almost every terrestrial habitat, including human-made environments. Species can be <a href="/wiki/Arboreal" class="mw-redirect" title="Arboreal">arboreal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fossorial" title="Fossorial">fossorial</a> (burrowing), <a href="/wiki/Saltatorial" class="mw-redirect" title="Saltatorial">saltatorial</a>/ricochetal (leaping on their hind legs), or semiaquatic. However, all rodents share several morphological features, including having only a single upper and lower pair of ever-growing incisors.

They use their sharp incisors to gnaw food, excavate burrows, and defend themselves. Most eat seeds or other plant material, but some have more varied diets.

In facultative monogamy, the males do not provide direct parental care and stay with one female because they cannot access others due to being spatially dispersed. Prairie voles appear to be an example of this form of monogamy, with males guarding and defending females within their vicinity.<sup id="cite_ref-Waterman_67-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Waterman-67"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>67<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Polygyny_in_nature" class="mw-redirect" title="Polygyny in nature">polygynous</a> species, males will try to monopolize and mate with multiple females.

Some species are also known to directly defend their resident females and the ensuing fights can lead to severe wounding. In species with non-defense polygyny, males are not territorial and wander widely in search of females to monopolize.

There is a great deal of <a href="/wiki/Parallel_evolution" title="Parallel evolution">parallelism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Convergent_evolution" title="Convergent evolution">convergence</a> among rodents caused by the fact that they have tended to evolve to fill largely similar niches. This parallel evolution includes not only the structure of the teeth, but also the infraorbital region of the skull (below the eye socket) and makes classification difficult as similar traits may not be due to common ancestry.<sup id="cite_ref-Wood_115-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wood-115"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>115<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-116" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-116"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>116<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_von_Brandt" title="Johann Friedrich von Brandt">Brandt</a> (1855) was the first to propose dividing Rodentia into three suborders, Sciuromorpha, Hystricomorpha and Myomorpha, based on the development of certain muscles in the jaw and this system was widely accepted. Schlosser (1884) performed a comprehensive review of rodent fossils, mainly using the cheek teeth, and found that they fitted into the classical system, but Tullborg (1899) proposed just two sub-orders, Sciurognathi and Hystricognathi. These were based on the degree of inflection of the lower jaw and were to be further subdivided into Sciuromorpha, Myomorpha, Hystricomorpha and Bathyergomorpha. Matthew (1910) created a <a href="/wiki/Phylogeny" class="mw-redirect" title="Phylogeny">phylogenetic tree</a> of New World rodents but did not include the more problematic Old World species. Further attempts at classification continued without agreement, with some authors adopting the classical three suborder system and others Tullborg's two suborders.<sup id="cite_ref-Wood_115-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wood-115"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>115<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p> These disagreements remain unresolved, nor have <a href="/wiki/Molecular_phylogenetics" title="Molecular phylogenetics">molecular studies</a> fully resolved the situation though they have confirmed the <a href="/wiki/Monophyly" title="Monophyly">monophyly</a> of the group and that the clade has descended from a common Paleocene ancestor. Carleton and Musser (2005) in <i>Mammal Species of the World</i> have provisionally adopted a five suborder system: Sciuromorpha, Castorimorpha, Myomorpha, Anomaluromorpha, and Hystricomorpha. As of 2021 the <a href="/wiki/American_Society_of_Mammalogists" title="American Society of Mammalogists">American Society of Mammalogists</a> recognizes 34 recent families containing more than
