117: 458:- This feels a little redundant when you noted the same thing in the paragraph above it. Maybe it could be reworked or incorporated into another sentence to make it seem less redundant as a standalone blurb? 622:
That means the same (if, as is standard in modern phylogenetics, we understand "more closely related to" to mean "sharing a more recent common ancestor with"), and the current wording is less cluttered.
578:
It's high, and I have added a sentence to that effect. However, I'm a bit hesitant to make too much of it, since the source doesn't give more than the raw value, so I'm hesitant to make too much of it.
618:- in lead, don't you mean " DNA sequence data suggests it may be more closely related to Eliurus grandidieri than the latter species is to other species of the closely related genus Eliurus." ? 574:- this has nothing to let the lay reader know whether this is a large or little number - how divergent this is. A sentence or two to place this in context would be very helpful. 423:- The lead flows extremely well, except for this small bit, which is pretty stark and abrupt I think. I would suggest changing it to "at an altitude of...", but it's your call. 169: 242:
It's a bit parenthesis-heavy in places. Some of those could be changed to comma pairs or otherwise modified. For example: "...but (as usual in nesomyines) contain..." =: -->
360:
I don't see much of a need for consistency there. I think multiple columns are more suited for the reference section, since those don't wrap to multiple lines as often.
357:
You could put the "Literature cited" section content between {{refbegin|colwidth=30em}} and {{refend}} templates to make the format consistent with the references.
40: 473:
Very good article otherwise. Just a couple things that jumped out at me, but I'm more than happy to support after these are addressed. Nicely done!

This is a small Malagasy rodent that was discovered only a few decades ago. The article was GA-reviewed by Rcej not too long ago and is part of

DNA sequence data suggests it may be more closely related to Eliurus grandidieri than to other species of the closely related genus Eliurus.
75: 570:
Morphological differences between the two are subtle but consistent, and the cytochrome b sequences of the two species differ by about 10%

species in the lead, if it's possible. It seems like an important part of the rodent's taxonomic history.
206:- source link for File:World_map_pol_2005_v02.svg (one of the root files for the map you use) is dead. 369:
Well, my concern had more to do with consistency of the font size. That just stood out on my browser.

would eat it and it probably won't get older than one or two years in the wild.
277: 343: 461:
I simply removed this sentence; it doesn't add anything to the first one.
634:
d'oh. Ok - but I guess it depends where you want to put the emphasis.
338:
Is there anything on predation of this species? The expected lifespan?
39:
Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in
456:
Voalavo gymnocaudus lacks a distinct tuft of hairs at the tail tip.
259:"Meanwhile, in 1999..." 'Meanwhile' is additive and redundant. 663:
Conclude - nice and ship-shape - was reduced to nitpicking...

Added publisher for Garbutt and a new link for that map.
