Comparative aspects of tree shrew biology have been the subject of extensive investigations during the past two decades. These studies were initiated in part because of the widely accepted belief that tupaiids are primitive primates, and, as such, might provide valuable insight into the evolutionary origin of complex patterns of primate behavior, locomotion, neurobiology, and reproduction. During the same period, there has been a renewed interest in the methodology of phylogenetic reconstruction and in the use of data from a variety of biological disciplines to test or formulate hypotheses of evolutionary relationships. In particular, interest in the com parative and systematic biology of mammals has focused on analysis of phy logenetic relationships among Primates and a search for their closest relatives. Assessment of the possible primate affinities of tree shrews has comprised an important part of these studies, and a considerable amount of dental, cranio skeletal, neuroanatomical, reproductive, de | | 出版日期 | Book 1980 | | 关键词 | biology; evolution; mammals; primates; reproduction | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4684-1051-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4684-1053-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4684-1051-8 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1980 |
