Molecular Evidence for the Affinities of Tupaiidae

1980
The basic method for deducing relationships among living organisms of any type is by assessing the degree of difference and similarity in various characters common to the groups under consideration. Traditionally, these characters have been morphological in nature.

Intestinal disaccharidase activity of non-human primates—I. Tupaiidae, Cebidae and Cercopithecidae

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1972
Abstract 1. 1. Disaccharidase activities in general were the highest in the jejunum of the Tupaiidae, Cebidae and Cercopithecidae studied. 2. 2. In the proximal jejunum of the Cebidae and Cercopithecidae, the disaccharidases increased in activity in the following order: cellobiase, lactase, palatinase, trehalase, sucrase and maltase.

A note on chromosomes of two species of tree shrews (Tupaiidae)

Primates, 1973
Karyological studies of five tree shrews showed a diploid number 2n=60 forTupaia glis and 2n=66 forTupaia minor. The Y chromosome ofTupaia glis was found to be a medium-sized submetacentric chromosome in contrast to earlier data in the literature. The karyotype of a femaleTupaia minor showed five pairs of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes and ...

Morphogenesis of the placenta and fetal membranes of the tree shrews (family tupaiidae)

American Journal of Anatomy, 1968
AbstractThe paucity of information on the early developmental stages and the necessity for re‐evaluation of the phylogenetic implications of the tupaiid fetal membranes have stimulated the present study.Neonatal tupaiids possess prominent bilateral endometrial pads that run the length of each uterine horn.

Taxonomic Boundaries and Craniometric Variation in the Treeshrews (Scandentia, Tupaiidae) from the Palawan Faunal Region

Journal of Mammalian Evolution, 2013
The taxonomy of treeshrews (Order Scandentia) has long been complicated by ambiguous morphological species boundaries, and the treeshrews of the Palawan faunal region of the Philippines are no exception. Four named forms in the genus Tupaia Raffles, 1821, have been described from four island groups based on subtle qualitative morphological characters ...

Relationship of the Tupaiidae and of Eocene Lemurs, especially Notharctus

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1913
Introduction When my friend Mr. C. W. Beebe was in Borneo he made persistent efforts to secure for me specimens of the rare pen-tailed tree-shrew (Ptilocercus lowii). Failing in this, he obtained the loan of a skin and skeleton of this animal from the Rajah of Sarawak, and these he has very kindly intrusted to me for study and description ...

Possible Function of Cephalic Outgrowths of Sucking Lice (Anoplura) Parasitic on Tree Shrews (Tupaiidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1984
Speculation is made upon the significance of cephalic outgrowths in Sathrax durus and Docophthirus acinetus , 2 species of sucking lice (Anoplura) normally parasitic on tree shrews (Tupaiidae). An infestation of S. durus on a small laboratory colony of Tupaia glis provided lice for study. While the cephalic interspine spacing on S. durus could feasibly

Contrast Enhanced Imaging as an Alternative to Dissection in Tree Shrew (Tupaiidae: Scandentia) Chewing Musculature

The FASEB Journal, 2017
A burgeoning technique in the field of comparative biology involves staining specimens with iodine, followed by CT scanning. Along with providing excellent 3D visualization of soft tissue by giving it a higher attenuation, iodine staining enables digital isolation of muscles and the potential for measuring individual muscle ...
