Antipredator behavior of a social desert rodent: footdrumming and alarm calling in the great gerbil, Rhombomys opiums

open access: closedBehavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2000
We sought to understand why a social, desert rodent, the great gerbil, Rhombomys opimus, expends energy and possible risk of predation by footdrumming and vocalizing in the presence of a diversity of terrestrial predators: snakes, monitor lizards, polecats, foxes, and humans.

Social correlates of stress in adult males of the great gerbil, Rhombomys opimus, in years of high and low population densities

open access: closedHormones and Behavior, 2003
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The great gerbil, Rhombomys opimus, is the most social species in the Gerbillinae. The social structure consists of family groups that occupy isolated systems of burrows consisting of one breeding male, from one to seven females, and juveniles.

A new species of Leishmania isolated from the great gerbil Rhombomys opimus

open access: yesParasitology, 1990
SUMMARYLeishmania turanica n.sp., found infecting the desert rodent Rhombomys opimus in the southern territories of the USSR and the Mongolian People's Republic, is described. This parasite exists sympatrically with L. major and L. gerbilli in R. opimus and is the predominant species. A total of 284 isolates of L. turanica from R.

Glasnost and the great gerbil: Virulence polymorphisms in the epidemiology of leishmaniasis

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1990
botomus papatasi, particularly in spring and summer when trans- mission intensity is highs; and viru- lent clones outcompete avirulent ones when this vector is experimen- tally infected with bothg. The relative abundance of virulent and avirulent isolates from gerbils changes dramatically with season.

Prediction of the potential distribution pattern of the great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) under climate change based on ensemble modelling.

Pest Management Science, 2022
BACKGROUND Rodent infestation is a global biological problem. Rodents are widely distributed worldwide, cause harm to agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry production and spread a variety of natural focal diseases.
