Outdoor activityA Queensland study states that protection from solar UV radiation is an important factor during outdoor sporting and recreational pursuits. This outdoor activity provides a sense of physical well-being and contributes to quality of life [10]. ...
For several decades, owing to a variety of unique characteristics ideal in an experimental animal (for example, small adult body size, high brain-to-body mass ratio, short reproductive cycle and life span, low cost of maintenance, and most importantly, a claimed close affinity to primates) ...
Stress is increasingly present in everyday life in our fast-paced society and involved in the pathogenesis of many psychiatric diseases. Corticotrophin-releasing-hormone (CRH) plays a pivotal role in regulating the stress responses. The tree shrews are highly vulnerable to stress which makes them ...

The locomotor activities of wild-type tree shrews and mice were tested for 5 min in the open-field box. Our data showed that the wild-type tree shrews and mice had high locomotor activity in the novel environment (tree shrew: 1 155.04±154.06; mouse: 1 404.53±85.00) (Figure 1A). The...
Numerous biotic factors, or physical tree traits, impact S, including characteristics of foliar and woody surfaces, total surface area and density of leaves and branches, and tree crown architecture (Fig. 2). While these physical tree traits vary over the lifespan of a tree, they display less...
