Effects of Photoperiod and Temperature on Energy Budgets and Endocrine Hormones Concentrations in Tupaia belangeri [PDF]
Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2014 Environmental cues play important roles in the regulation of an animal’s physiology and behavior. In the present study, we performed a factorial experiment (temperature/photoperiod) in which Tupaia belangeri was acclimated to different photoperiods (long

Diverse interleukin-7 mRNA transcripts in Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis).
PLoS ONE, 2014 Interleukin-7 (IL7) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is actively involved in the immune system. The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) has been proposed as an alternative experimental animal to primates in biomedical research.

Gustatory responses in primates to the sweetener aspartame and their phylogenetic implications [PDF]
, 2017 Two-bottle preference tests have been applied to 70 (sub-) species of the order of Primates and, for comparison, to the tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) to determine their responses to aspartame (APM), the first known sweet-tasting dipeptide which has to ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.This study evaluates the effectiveness of three environmental DNA sampling approaches–water eDNA, air eDNA, and leech‐derived iDNA–for surveying vertebrate diversity in the Gaoligong Mountains of southwest China. Using five metabarcoding primer sets, we detected 235 vertebrate species.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 896-905, May 2025.We present a deep learning approach to achieve markerless pose estimation and recognize multiple spontaneous behaviors of tree shrews. This high‐throughput approach can monitor the home‐cage activities of 16 tree shrews simultaneously over an extended period.

Spontaneous tumours in tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri): Population studies
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1998 In a necropsy series at the German Primate Centre, 63 of 1132 tree shrews were found to have tumours. The youngest affected animal was < 6 months old, but the incidence of tumours increased strikingly beyond 2 years of age; of 17 animals aged > 8 years, no less than 14 (82.4%) were affected.

Animal models of human herpesvirus infection
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 615-628, April 2025.Human herpesvirus can infect humans and other vertebrates, primarily targeting the skin, mucous membranes, and neural tissues, thereby significantly impacting the health of both humans and animals. Animal models are crucial for studying virus pathogenesis, vaccine development, and drug testing.

Molecular Systematics and Historical Biogeography of the Tree Shrews (Tupaiidae). [PDF]
, 2000 This dissertation examined the molecular systematics and historical biogeography of tree shrews (Tupaiidae). Comparison of cytochrome b sequences and DNA hybridization data suggests that cytochrome b sequences evolved 7.9 to 13.4 times faster than single-

Assessment of sequence homology and immunologic cross-reactivity between tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) and human IL-21. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Many studies have indicated that the expression of interleukin-21 (IL-21) is associated with the pathogenesis of certain liver diseases. However, in alternative animal models of liver diseases, it remains unknown whether the tree shrew could be utilized ...
