Gut Microbiota Provide Co‐Existing Strategies for Two Species of Symmetrically Distributed Rodents in Competition for Food [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Gut microbiota provides an effective strategy for sympatric proximal species to coexist in interspecific competition. In the present study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to investigate the gut microbial of the Cricetulus longicaudatus and Apodemus ...

Potential FSH-mediated molecular pathway to regulate follicle development in striped hamsters (Cricetulus barabensis) supported by strong correlative evidence. [PDF]

PLoS One
Scientific background Rational control of rodent populations is crucial for maintaining ecosystem balance and mitigating agricultural economic losses. Follicle development plays a pivotal role in determining animal population abundance, and photoperiod ...

The Return of the Hamster (Cricetulus barabensis Pallas, 1773): a history of one fallow in the South-East of the Amur region

Anthropogenic Transformation of Nature
The biotopic distribution and population number dynamics of Chinese striped hamster (Cricetulus barabensis Pallas, 1773) were studied at the species’ range edge in the Amur region – in the Khingansky State Nature Reserve and adjacent territories ...

Decrease in Mitochondrial Oxidative Respiratory Function in Liver of Cricetulus barabensis Under Long and Short Photoperiods: The Role of Mitochondrial Fission and Apoptosis [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology
The photoperiod is a crucial factor affecting the seasonal rhythms of mammals. Under the seasonal rhythms, the growth and development of the body are closely related to the oxidative respiratory function of mitochondria, but the influence of the single ...

Behavior and physiology in female Cricetulus barabensis are associated with the expression of circadian genes

Frontiers in Endocrinology
The circadian clock regulates the behavior, physiology, and metabolism of mammals, and these characteristics, such as sleep-wake cycles, exercise capacity, and hormone levels, exhibit circadian rhythms.

Photoperiod Affects Harderian Gland Morphology and Secretion in Female Cricetulus barabensis: Autophagy, Apoptosis, and Mitochondria

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Photoperiod is an important factor of mammalian seasonal rhythm. The Harderian gland (HG) appears to act as a “standby” structure of the retinal-pineal axis, mediating light signals in vitro and neuroendocrine regulation in vivo; however, the effect of ...

Seasonal variations in cellular and humoral immunity in male striped hamsters (Cricetulus barabensis) [PDF]

Biology Open, 2018
Animals in the non-tropical zone usually demonstrate seasonal variations in immune function, which is important for their survival. In the present study, seasonal changes in immunity in striped hamsters (Cricetulus barabensis) were investigated to test ...

Phylogeography of the Tibetan hamster Cricetulus kamensis in response to uplift and environmental change in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Aim The evolutionary process of an organism provides valuable data toward an understanding of the Earth evolution history. To investigate the relationship between the uplift of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) and mammalian evolution since the late ...

Effects of density dependence and climatic factors on population dynamics of Cricetulus barabensis: a 25-year field study [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2020
Rodents often act as keystone species in communities and play important roles in shaping structures and functions of many ecosystems. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of population fluctuation in rodents is therefore of great interest.
