According to the journal “Social
Structure of the Bushveld Sengi (Elephantulus Intufi) in Namibia and the Evolution of Monogamy in the Macroscelidea” written by G. B. Rathburn and C.D. Rathburn, the behavioral ecology of elephant shrews is best understood in the context of their evolutionary history.
197:
256:
The bushveld elephant shrew live in monogamous pairs within their own territory away from other pairs which can be attributed as a result of male mate guarding. Even though they live as monogamous pairs, the bushveld elephant shrew experience weak pair bonds.
261:
There is strong evidence that their phylogeny is due to
Macroscelidea which is part of a monophyletic African clade of mammals that represents one of four early eutherian radiations.
