Comparative biomechanical analysis of jumping between the arboreal northern treeshrew (Tupaia belangeri) and the fat-tailed dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus medius)
Journal Article Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society · December 1, 2025 Jumping allows arboreal mammals to navigate disparate canopy supports. Existing research suggests that the long, mobile limbs of many small primates—including basal primate ancestors—facilitate arboreal jumping performance by extending centre of mass (CoM) ...

Journal Article Journal of Mammalogy · August 1, 2025 The Pen-tailed Treeshrew Ptilocercus lowii Gray, 1848 is a small arboreal mammal known from Southeast Asia. Two subspecies are currently recognized, P. l. lowii from Borneo and some nearby offshore islands, and P. l. continentis from the Malay Peninsula, S ...
