Phylogeography of the Tibetan hamster Cricetulus kamensis in response to uplift and environmental change in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 7291-7306, June 2019., 2019
Major genetic differentiations of Cricetulus kamensis occurred in the late Pliocene. Cricetulus kamensis populations were restricted into two major clades due to tectonic movement of QTP and the Last Glacial Maximum. Abstract Aim The evolutionary process of an organism provides valuable data toward an understanding of the Earth evolution history.

Evolutionary factors and habitat filtering affect the pattern of Gerbillinae diversity [PDF]

Curr Zool
Abstract How ecological and evolutionary factors affect small mammal diversity in arid regions remains largely unknown. Here, we combined the largest phylogeny and occurrence dataset of Gerbillinae desert rodents to explore the underlying factors shaping present-day distribution patterns.

Unusually extensive karyotype reorganization in four congeneric Gerbillus species (Muridae: Gerbillinae).

Cytogenetic and genome research, 2006
Comparative analysis of the G- and C-banding patterns in four morphologically poorly differentiated Gerbillus species (G. pyramidum, G. perpallidus, G. tarabuli and G. occiduus) was carried out. These gerbils have similar karyotype morphology with 2n and NF equal to 38/76, 40/76, 40/78 and 40/80, respectively.

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): ovine epididymitis (Brucella ovis)

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2017., 2017
Abstract Ovine epididymitis (Brucella ovis) has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of ovine epididymitis to be listed, Article 9 for the categorisation of ovine epididymitis according to disease prevention and control ...

EMA and EFSA Joint Scientific Opinion on measures to reduce the need to use antimicrobial agents in animal husbandry in the European Union, and the resulting impacts on food safety (RONAFA)

EFSA Journal, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2017., 2017
Abstract EFSA and EMA have jointly reviewed measures taken in the EU to reduce the need for and use of antimicrobials in food‐producing animals, and the resultant impacts on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Reduction strategies have been implemented successfully in some Member States.

Life at the Edge (of the Sahara): Evolutionary History of Two Understudied Genera of African Gerbils

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the distribution and genetic structure of African mammals is key to reconstructing the continent's evolutionary history. While some parts of the continent (e.g., lowlands, mountain forests or savannah biomes) are now relatively well‐studied, arid regions remain underexplored despite offering unique insights into adaptation to
