Biogeographic history of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene European small hamsters (subfamily Cricetinae) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe prevailing paleobiogeographic hypothesis suggests that many steppe and tundra-steppe taxa currently found in Central Asia expanded into Europe during Pleistocene glacial periods, when open habitats dominated. However, previous studies have shown that

Karyotypic and molecular evidence supports the endemic Tibetan hamsters as a separate divergent lineage of Cricetinae [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The genus status of Urocricetus was defined recently based on morphological and molecular data. Even though the amount of evidence for a separate phylogenetic position of this genus among Cricetinae continues to increase, there is still no consensus on ...

Mitochondrial DNA Diversity of Mesocricetus auratus and Other Cricetinae Species among Cricetidae Family [PDF]
Biochemical Genetics, 2022 Unique anatomical and physiological features have made hamster species desirable research models. Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis of the hamster family members to clarify their evolution and genetic relationship, can provide a genetic basis for the comprehension of the variable research results obtained using different hamster models ...

Comparative analysis of optional hunting behavior in Cricetinae hamsters using the data compression approach [PDF]
Frontiers in ZoologyResearch into the hunting behavior in members of the Cricetidae family offers an opportunity to reveal what changes in the predatory behavioral sequences occur when a rodent species shifts from an omnivorous to a predatory lifestyle.

The complete mitogenome of Sokolov’s Dwarf Hamster (Cricetulus sokolovi) and implication of phylogenetic status [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 There is still an obvious lack of information on Sokolov's Dwarf Hamster (Cricetulus sokolovi) which belongs to subfamily Cricetinae because the species is only rarely found in Gobi desert.

Total-evidence phylogeny reveals recent crown group radiation and biogeographical history of hamsters [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground The systematics of extant hamsters (Cricetinae) have been increasingly clarified, due to advances in molecular phylogenetics. In contrast, their relationships with their fossil relatives have remained relatively unclear.
