Effects of Dietary Nutrients of the Gut Microbiota in the Long-Tailed Dwarf Hamster (Cricetulus longicaudatus) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Gut microbiota is a key factor in maintaining the dietary and metabolic homeostasis of small mammals. To explore the effect of diet on the gut microbiota of the long‐tailed dwarf hamster (Cricetulus longicaudatus), 16S rDNA high‐throughput sequencing ...

Rodents Inhabiting the Southeastern Mu Us Desert May Not Have Experienced Prolonged Heat Stress in Summer 2022 [PDF]

Animals, 2023
Climate change combined with human activities has altered the spatial and temporal patterns of summer extreme heat in the Mu Us Desert. To determine how those rodents living in the desert respond to increased extreme heat in summer, in July 2022, during ...

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 ...

Distribution and Host Selection of the Chigger Mite Leptotrombidium rupestre, a Potential Vector of Scrub Typhus, in Southwest China. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Based on field surveys in southwest China between 2001 and 2022, this paper retrospectively reports the distribution and host selection of L. rupestre in the region for the first time. A total of 4675 L. rupestre were identified from 28 species of small mammal hosts in 23 of 114 survey sites and it was mainly distributed in higher latitudes (31–33° N ...

Evolution of the <i>Neopsylla hongyangensis</i> Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

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

Ecol Evol, 2019
Major genetic differentiations of Cricetulus kamensis occurred in the late Pliocene. Cricetulus kamensis populations were restricted into two major clades due to tectonic movement of QTP and the Last Glacial Maximum. Abstract Aim The evolutionary process of an organism provides valuable data toward an understanding of the Earth evolution history.
