These squirrel-sized, brownish mammals with large, dark, lashless eyes were at one time thought to be primates. Even though most scientists now believe them to belong in their own mammalian order, Scandentia, they still are thought to resemble some of the earliest mammals, which lived alongside the dinosaurs. This book describes the results of the first comparative study of the ecology of treeshrews in the wild. Noted tropical mammalogist Louise H. Emmons conducted this pathbreaking study in the rainforests of Borneo as she tracked and observed six species of treeshrews. Emmons meticulously describes their habitat, diet, nesting habits, home range, activity patterns, social behavior, and many other facets of their lives. She also discusses a particularly interesting aspect of treeshrews: their enigmatic parental care system, which is unique among mammals. 410 0$aOrganisms and environments ;$v2. 606 $aTupaiidae 606 $aTupaiidae$zBorneo 610 $aancient animals. 610 $aancient mammals. 610 $aanimal behavior. 610 $aanimal communication. 610 $aanimal diet. 610 $aanimal habitat. 610 $aanimal life. 610 $aanimal lovers. 610 $aanimal species. 610 $aanimal studies. 610 $aanimals. 610 $adiet. 610 $ageography. 610 $ahabitat. 610 $amammalogist. 610 $amammals. 610 $anatural history. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anesting. 610 $arainforest. 610 $aregional. 610 $asocial behavior. 610 $atreeshrews. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aTupaiidae. 615 0$aTupaiidae 676 $a599.33/8/095983 700 $aEmmons$b Louise$01032524 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450516703321 996 $aTupai$92450449 997 $aUNINA
