Revealing histological and morphological features of female reproductive system in tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) [PDF]
, 2018 The tree shrew has been used as a primate animal model in neuroscience studies but it has only rarely been employed in the study of reproductive systems. This is mainly because we know very little about the histological features of reproductive organs of

Distinct Frequency Specialization for Detecting Dark Transients in Humans and Tree Shrews
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Despite well-known privileged perception of dark over light stimuli, it is unknown to what extent this dark dominance is maintained when visual transients occur in rapid succession, for example, during perception of moving stimuli.

A Novel Tree Shrew Model of Diabetic Retinopathy [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Existing animal models with rod-dominant retinas have shown that hyperglycemia injures neurons, but it is not yet clearly understood how blue cone photoreceptors and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) deteriorate in patients because of compromised insulin tolerance. In contrast, northern tree shrews (Tupaia Belangeri), one of the closest living relatives of

Establishment of the tree shrew as an alcohol-induced Fatty liver model for the study of alcoholic liver diseases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Currently, the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver diseases (ALDs) is not clear. As a result, there is no effective treatment for ALDs. One limitation is the lack of a suitable animal model for use in studying ALDs.

Functional Organization of Visual Cortex in the Owl Monkey [PDF]
, 2004 In this study, we compared the organization of orientation preference in visual areas V1, V2, and V3. Within these visual areas, we also quantified the relationship between orientation preference and cytochrome oxidase (CO) staining patterns. V1 maps of

Lenticular Autofluorescence in Normal Tree Shrews
Ophthalmic Research, 1996 Lenticular autofluorescence was measured in vivo in 25 normal tree shrews using a fluorophotometer with a specially designed small animal adapter to assess the usefulness of this model of lens pathology. The average variability in the lenticular autofluorescence measurements was 8.7%.

Species Limits and Phylogeography of North American Cricket Frogs (Acris: Hylidae) [PDF]
, 2008 Cricket frogs are widely distributed across the eastern United States and two species, the northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) and the southern cricket frog (A. gryllus) are currently recognized. We generated a phylogenetic hypothesis for Acris using
