Sexual size dimorphism of group-living Mongolian gerbils Meriones unguicutalus (Muridae: Gerbillinae) [PDF]
The European Zoological Journal, 2017 Polygynous mammals often have male-biased sexual size dimorphism due to male–male competition for mates. However, fecundity selection may enlarge female body size.

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), a neglected tropical disease, is an important health problem in Fars Province, southern Iran. Fars, the fourth most populous Province in Iran, is the center of both anthroponotic and zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL). Rodents, the reservoir of Leishmania major, play an important role in transmitting ZCL.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 14, Page 9447-9459, July 2021., 2021 Incisors of fossil and extant Geomyidae (pocket gophers) and Heteromyidae (pocket mice, spiny pocket mice, kangaroo mice, kangaroo rats) show enamel with built‐in failure prevention related to chisel‐tooth digging. This distinctive microstructure character strengthens the joint phylogenetic origin of these North American rodents because it is absent in

Monitoring of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in mustelids
EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021 Abstract American mink and ferret are highly susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), but no information is available for other mustelid species. SARS‐CoV‐2 spreads very efficiently within mink farms once introduced, by direct and indirect contact, high within‐farm animal density increases the chance for transmission.

Effect of Bushen Huoxue Prescription on Cognitive Dysfunction of KK‐Ay Type 2 Diabetic Mice
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Diabetic cognitive impairment is one of the common complications of type 2 diabetes, which can cause neurological and microvascular damage in the brain. Bushen Huoxue prescription (BSHX), a compound Chinese medicine, has been used clinically to treat diabetes‐induced cognitive impairment. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study,
