The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Enhancement of de novo sequencing, assembly and annotation of the Mongolian gerbil genome with transcriptome sequencing and assembly from several different tissues

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) has historically been used as a model organism for the auditory and visual systems, stroke/ischemia, epilepsy and aging related research since 1935 when laboratory gerbils were separated from their ...

Adaptations of the Vertebrate Retina to Low‐Light Conditions: A Review

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 54, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Vision is a critical sensory modality in vertebrates, enabling diverse adaptations to environmental challenges. This review explores the remarkable adaptations of vertebrate eyes to low‐light environments, such as nocturnal habitats, deep‐sea ecosystems and subterranean niches.

MAG: A Multilingual, Knowledge-base Agnostic and Deterministic Entity Linking Approach

, 2017
Entity linking has recently been the subject of a significant body of research. Currently, the best performing approaches rely on trained mono-lingual models. Porting these approaches to other languages is consequently a difficult endeavor as it requires

Flexibility within the middle ears of vertebrates [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction and aims: Tympanic middle ears have evolved multiple times independently among vertebrates, and share common features. We review flexibility within tympanic middle ears and consider its physiological and clinical implications.

In Vivo Reprogramming Highlights Epigenetic Regulation That Shapes Cancer Hallmarks

Cancer Science, Volume 116, Issue 7, Page 1807-1814, July 2025.
In this review, the authors first introduce genetic aberrations that cause cancer development. Then, they illustrate the impact of epigenetic abnormalities in cancer, especially with reference to studies that use in vivo reprogramming technologies. Finally, the authors discuss the importance of histological evaluations of tumor tissue to understand non‐

NaCl preference in the gerbil [PDF]

Physiological Psychology, 1973
Gerbil preference levels for salt solutions were determined by using the single-stimulus method. The concentration resulting in the largest acceptance was 0.9%, even though gerbils can utilize salt solutions as high as 6%. Since the single-stimulus method correlates well with other preference measures, these results should generalize to other testing ...

Giardia Cyst Wall Protein 1 Is a Lectin That Binds to Curled Fibrils of the GalNAc Homopolymer [PDF]

, 2010
The infectious and diagnostic stage of Giardia lamblia (also known as G. intestinalis or G. duodenalis) is the cyst. The Giardia cyst wall contains fibrils of a unique β-1,3-linked N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) homopolymer and at least three cyst wall ...

Extrahepatic Replication and Genomic Signatures of the Hepatitis E Virus in the Kidney

Liver International, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction The hepatitis E virus (HEV; species Paslahepevirus balayani) is a common human pathogenic and zoonotic virus that can cause both acute fulminant and chronic hepatitis. Despite its reputation as a hepatotropic virus, HEV infection is also associated with a number of extrahepatic diseases, including kidney disorders.

Impaired Auditory Temporal Selectivity in the Inferior Colliculus of Aged Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]

, 2011
Aged humans show severe difficulties in temporal auditory processing tasks (e.g., speech recognition in noise, low-frequency sound localization, gap detection). A degradation of auditory function with age is also evident in experimental animals.
