摘要:
中缅树鼩(Tupaia belangeri)作为东洋界特有的小型哺乳动物以及人类代谢性疾病动物模型，对其进行生理生态学研究有助于了解其对季节性环境变化的适应策略及其体内产热机制等生态学和进化生物学问题，具有十分重要的意义。通过对中缅树鼩行为方面的研究，可为其作为实验动物的驯化饲养和行为生态研究奠定基础。本文阐述了关于中缅树鼩的生理生态和行为学特征的研究进展，以期对未来可能的发展方向进行展望。
As a typical small mammal in the oriental realm and an animal model for the metabolic disease of human, it is significative to do physiological and ecological research on Tupaia belangeri, which helps to believe its adaptive strategy of seasonal climate change and its body thermogenesis me-chanism problems in ecology and evolutionary biology. Meanwhile, research on the behavior of Tupaia belangeri can lay the foundation to domesticate them as an experimental animal and do behavioral ecological research. The article expounds the research progress on the physiological and behavioral characteristics of the tree shrew, attempting to point out the development direction of future.
