Abstract
This chapter examines the life history of treeshrews. It describes the absentee system of parental care in treeshrews, their birth seasonality, and the reproductive output of individual females. The chapter investigates the growth rates of young treeshrews, the age at first reproduction, the seasonal patterns of adult weight, and the persistence or survivorship of individuals. It reveals that treeshrews' explosive reproductive potential from continual breeding, rapid growth, and early sexual maturity seen in laboratory treeshrews is not realized in the wild, where discontinuous breeding, slow growth, and late maturation are more typical.
