Unsupervised discovery of family specific vocal usage in the Mongolian gerbil [PDF]
eLifeIn nature, animal vocalizations can provide crucial information about identity, including kinship and hierarchy. However, lab-based vocal behavior is typically studied during brief interactions between animals with no prior social relationship, and under

Dietary fat and cholesterol and serum cholesterol in the gerbil
Journal of Lipid Research, 1967 Groups of gerbils were fed purified diets containing either 10 or 20% of safflower, olive, or coconut oil. Each diet was fed without cholesterol and with 0.1 and 0.2% of added cholesterol.
