Structure and function of the mammalian middle ear. I: Large middle ears in small desert mammals. [PDF]
, 2015 Many species of small desert mammals are known to have expanded auditory bullae. The ears of gerbils and heteromyids have been well described, but much less is known about the middle ear anatomy of other desert mammals.

Morphology and chromosomes ofTateraLataste 1882 (Rodentia Muridae Gerbillinae) in West Africa [PDF]
Tropical Zoology, 2001 In a sample of the genus Tatera Lataste 1882 from West Africa (Benin and Burkina Faso), we analyzed the cranial and dental morphology and the karyotype (G, R, C and NOR banding). The cranial morphology confirms the attribution of this sample to Tatera kempi Wroughton 1906.

Systematics and evolution of the subfamily Gerbillinae (Mammalia, Rodentia, Muridae)
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2005 Although they represent a quarter of the mammalian species, the evolutionary relationships among as well as within, the main murid lineages are still controversial. The subfamily Gerbillinae is no exception as previous studies based on morphological, karyotypical, and allozyme characters are highly incongruent.
