Tree shrews at the German Primate Center [PDF]
Primate Biology, 2015 For many years, Tupaia (family Tupaiidae), most commonly known as tree shrews, have been studied almost exclusively by zoologists resulting in a controversial debate on their taxonomic status among mammals.

A new species of Tupaia (Mammalia, Scandentia, Tupaiidae) from northeastern Vietnam [PDF]
, 2022 There are 19 currently recognized species of treeshrews in the genus Tupaia (Tupaiidae, Scandentia) with a majority of the taxa found in Southeast Asia. During our surveys in northeastern Vietnam, nine new specimens of Tupaia were collected from five different localities, including Lang Son and Ha Giang provinces and Cat Ba Island, Hai Phong City.

Museum Specimens Reveal the Taxonomic Distinctions Among South Asian Treeshrews. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we investigated the morphological relationships among the treeshrew species found in South Asia using museum specimens collected over a wide spatial and temporal range in India and Myanmar, combined with existing published datasets, contributing to broader taxonomic knowledge of treeshrew diversity.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 A robust minimum age tree shows post K–Pg Placentalia radiation, and subsequent extensive radiation connected to exponentially increased base substitution (mutation) rate including generation of Homo sapiens. This Neogene radiation may have been triggered by expansion of C4 grasses that decreased atmospheric CO2, resulting in global cooling and ...

Establishing macroecological trait datasets: digitalization, extrapolation, and validation of diet preferences in terrestrial mammals worldwide [PDF]
, 2014 Ecological trait data are essential for understanding the broad-scale distribution of biodiversity and its response to global change. For animals, diet represents a fundamental aspect of species’ evolutionary adaptations, ecological and functional roles,

Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (MCPH1) in cetaceans. [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...
