Scandentia
The complete mitochondrial genome of Tupaia belangeri and the phylogenetic affiliation of scandentia to other eutherian orders. (1/7)
The complete mitochondrial genome of Tupaia belangeri, a representative of the eutherian order Scandentia, was determined and compared with full-length mitochondrial sequences of other eutherian orders described to date. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16, 754 nt in length, with no obvious deviation from the general organization of the mammalian mitochondrial genome. Thus, features such as start codon usage, incomplete stop codons, and overlapping coding regions, as well as the presence of tandem repeats in the control region, are within the range of mammalian mitochondrial (mt) DNA variation. To address the question of a possible close phylogenetic relationship between primates and Tupaia, the evolutionary affinities among primates, Tupaia and bats as representatives of the Archonta superorder, ferungulates, guinea pigs, armadillos, rats, mice, and hedgehogs were examined on the basis of the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences. The opossum sequence was used as an outgroup. The trees, estimated from 12 concatenated genes encoded on the mitochondrial H-strand, add further molecular evidence against an Archonta monophyly. With the new data described in this paper, most of both the mitochondrial and the nuclear data point away from Scandentia as the closest extant relatives to primates. Instead, the complete mitochondrial data support a clustering of Scandentia with Lagomorpha connecting to the branch leading to ferungulates. This closer phylogenetic relationship of Tupaia to rabbits than to primates first received support from several analyses of nuclear and partial mitochondrial DNA data sets. Given that short sequences are of limited use in determining deep mammalian relationships, the partial mitochondrial data available to date support this hypothesis only tentatively. Our complete mitochondrial genome data therefore add considerably more evidence in support of this hypothesis. (+info)Basic limb kinematics of small therian mammals. (2/7)
A comparative study of quantitative kinematic data of fore- and hindlimb movements of eight different mammalian species leads to the recognition of basic principles in the locomotion of small therians. The description of kinematics comprises fore- and hindlimb movements as well as sagittal spine movements including displacement patterns of limb segments, their contribution to step length, and joint movements. The comparison of the contributions of different segments to step length clearly shows the proximal parts (scapula, femur) to produce more than half of the propulsive movement of the whole limb at symmetrical gaits. Basically, a three-segmented limb with zigzag configuration of segments is mainly displaced at the scapular pivot or hip joint, both of which have the same vertical distance to the ground. Two segments operate in matched motion during retraction of the limb. While kinematic parameters of forelimbs are independent of speed and gait (with the scapula as the dominant element), fundamental changes occur in hindlimb kinematics with the change from symmetrical to in-phase gaits. Forward motion of the hindlimbs is now mainly due to sagittal lumbar spine movements contributing to half of the step length. Kinematics of small therian mammals are independent of their systematic position, their natural habitat, and also of specific anatomical dispositions (e.g. reduction of fingers, toes, or clavicle). In contrast, the possession of a tail influences 'pelvic movements'. (+info)Torque patterns of the limbs of small therian mammals during locomotion on flat ground. (3/7)
In three species of small therian mammals (Scandentia: Tupaia glis, Rodentia: Galea musteloides and Lagomorpha: Ochotona rufescens) the net joint forces and torques acting during stance phase in the four kinematically relevant joints of the forelimbs (scapular pivot, shoulder joint, elbow joint, wrist joint) and the hindlimbs (hip joint, knee joint, ankle joint, intratarsal joint) were determined by inverse dynamic analysis. Kinematics were measured by cineradiography (150 frames s(-1)). Synchronously ground reaction forces were acquired by forceplates. Morphometry of the extremities was performed by a scanning method using structured illumination. The vector sum of ground reaction forces and weight accounts for most of the joint force vector. Inertial effects can be neglected since errors of net joint forces amount at most to 10 %. The general time course of joint torques is comparable for all species in all joints of the forelimb and in the ankle joint. Torques in the intratarsal joints differ between tailed and tail-less species. The torque patterns in the knee and hip joint are unique to each species. For the first time torque patterns are described completely for the forelimb including the scapula as the dominant propulsive segment. The results are compared with the few torque data available for various joints of cats (Felis catus), dogs (Canis lupus f. familiaris), goats (Capra sp.) and horses (Equus przewalskii f. caballus). (+info)Molecular and genomic data identify the closest living relative of primates. (4/7)
A full understanding of primate morphological and genomic evolution requires the identification of their closest living relative. In order to resolve the ancestral relationships among primates and their closest relatives, we searched multispecies genome alignments for phylogenetically informative rare genomic changes within the superordinal group Euarchonta, which includes the orders Primates, Dermoptera (colugos), and Scandentia (treeshrews). We also constructed phylogenetic trees from 14 kilobases of nuclear genes for representatives from most major primate lineages, both extant colugos, and multiple treeshrews, including the pentail treeshrew, Ptilocercus lowii, the only living member of the family Ptilocercidae. A relaxed molecular clock analysis including Ptilocercus suggests that treeshrews arose approximately 63 million years ago. Our data show that colugos are the closest living relatives of primates and indicate that their divergence occurred in the Cretaceous.

(+info)Scandentia, also known as tree shrews, is not typically considered a part of human or animal medicine. It is a distinct order of small mammals that are closely related to primates and other placental mammals. They primarily consist of tropical rainforest dwellers found in Southeast Asia.
However, from a zoological perspective, Scandentia is a group of small, omnivorous mammals that include tree shrews. They are characterized by their small size, pointed snouts, and large eyes. Some researchers have suggested that they might be useful models for studying certain human diseases due to their close evolutionary relationship with primates. But, again, this is more related to biological research than medical practice.
"Tupaia" is not a term found in general medical terminology. It is most likely referring to a genus of small mammals known as tree shrews, also called "tupaias." They are native to Southeast Asia and are not closely related to shrews, but rather belong to their own order, Scandentia.
However, if you're referring to a specific medical condition or concept that uses the term "Tupaia," I would need more context to provide an accurate definition.
