A new sibling species of Taterillus (Muridae, Gerbillinae) from West Africa

Mammalian Biology, 2003
Modern systematics can now rely on powerful discriminating techniques, such as cytogenetics. As a result, a growing number of sibling species has been described in a variety of taxa. Among mammals, this is particularly true in rodents. Here, we describe a new species of Taterillus (Rodentia, Gerbillinae), namely Taterillus tranieri sp. n.

The Shape of a Gerbillus pyramidum (Rodentia: Gerbillinae) Isocline: An Experimental Field Study [PDF]

open access: closedOikos, 1994
Abramsky et al. developed a new technique to measure isoclines in the field. The method is based on the single-species habitat selection theory of Fretwell. Using short term (3-4 wk) and long term (1-yr) experiments, they tested it by measuring the isocline of Gerbillus allenbyi competing with G. pyramidum.

Sexual dimorphism, allometry, and interspecific variation in the cranial morphology of seven Meriones species (Gerbillinae, Rodentia)

, 2018
Jirds (Meriones) are a mostly desert-adapted genus of gerbils, with a wide geographic range, through which it encounters various climatic conditions, which may influence their morphology.

Molecular phylogenetics of the genus Gerbillus (Rodentia, Gerbillinae): Implications for systematics, taxonomy and chromosomal evolution

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
Although gerbils forms an important component of the mammalian fauna of arid and semi-arid area, the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationship within the species of the genus Gerbillus are still ambiguous. The present paper introduces findings based on the whole cytochrome b (1140 bp) mitochondrial genes of seven species (Gerbillus campestris, G ...

Intraspecific variation within Meriones persicus (Rodentia: Gerbillinae) populations in south central of Iran

, 2019
In the present study intraspecific differences of the Meriones persicus populations were investigated based on traditional morphometry using the external and cranial characters in the south central of Iran. Totally 89 specimens of M.

Ultrasonic Vocalizations of Six Taxa of Southern African Gerbils (Rodentia: Gerbillinae)

Ethology, 1991
AbstractUltrasonic calling during male‐female encounters between individuals of the same species was investigated in six taxa of southern African gerbils, namely Tatera brantsii, Gerbillurus paeba paeba, G. p. cxilis, G. tytonis, G. setzeri, and G. vallinus.

Divergence in acoustic repertoire of sympatric and allopatric gerbil species (Rodentia: Gerbillinae)

Mammalia, 1994
Les signaux acoustiques de 3 especes, Tatera afra, T. leucogaster et Desmodillus auricularis, ont ete etudies lors de rencontres mâle-femelle et decrits pour leur forme, leur duree et leurs limites inferieure et superieure de frequences. T. afra vocalise moins frequemment que T. leucogaster et D. auricularis.
