Description of Sarcocystis scandentiborneensis sp. nov. from treeshrews (Tupaia minor, T. tana) in northern Borneo with annotations on the utility of COI and 18S rDNA sequences for species delineation [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020 Sarcocystis scandentiborneensis sp. nov. was discovered in histological sections of striated musculature of treeshrews (Tupaia minor, T. tana) from Northern Borneo. Sarcocysts were cigar-shaped, 102 μm–545 μm long, and on average 53 μm in diameter.

Female-biased dispersal and gene flow in a behaviorally monogamous mammal, the large treeshrew (Tupaia tana). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Female-biased dispersal (FBD) is predicted to occur in monogamous species due to local resource competition among females, but evidence for this association in mammals is scarce.

Euarchontan Opsin Variation Brings New Focus to Primate Origins. [PDF]
Mol Biol Evol, 2016 Debate on the adaptive origins of primates has long focused on the functional ecology of the primate visual system. For example, it is hypothesized that variable expression of short- (SWS1) and middle-to-long-wavelength sensitive (M/LWS) opsins, which ...

Opsin genes of select treeshrews resolve ancestral character states within Scandentia. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2019 Treeshrews are small, squirrel-like mammals in the order Scandentia, which is nested together with Primates andDermoptera in the superordinal group Euarchonta. They are often described as living fossils, and researchers havelong turned to treeshrews as a

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 23, Page 6286-6296, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Telomeres, the short repetitive DNA sequences that cap the ends of linear chromosomes, shorten during cell division and are implicated in senescence in most species. Telomerase can rebuild telomeres but is repressed in many mammals that exhibit replicative senescence, presumably as a tumour suppression mechanism.

Journal of Mammalogy, 2021 AbstractThe Large Treeshrew, Tupaia tana Raffles, 1821, is a small mammal (~205 g) from Southeast Asia with a complicated taxonomic history. Currently, 15 subspecies are recognized from Borneo, Sumatra, and smaller islands, and many were originally differentiated based on minor pelage differences and small sample sizes.

Behavioral Monogamy and Fruit Aavailability in the Large Treeshrew (Tupaia tana) in Sabah, Malaysia [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2007 Behavioral monogamy in mammals varies from male–female pairs that spend most of their time in close spatial contact (associated pair-living) to pairs that occupy exclusive territories but travel, forage, and sleep alone (dispersed pair-living). We present radiotelemetry data on 46 adult large treeshrews (Tupaia tana) from 2 populations in Sabah ...
