Movements, Home range and Social organization. Common Treeshrews maintain territories, and only those of a male and female pair or a male with multiple females overlap. When multiple captive males were introduced to the same enclosure (assuming inadequate room for separate territories), antagonistic encounters were common and lead to deaths of individuals of the same species.
