Encoding of Arousal and Physical Characteristics in Audible and Ultrasonic Vocalizations of Mongolian Gerbil Pups Testing Common Rules for Mammals [PDF]
Animals, 2023 In mammals, common rules for the encoding of arousal and physical characteristics of the sender are suggested based on a similar vocal production apparatus. In this study, we want to investigate to what extent vocalizations of developing Mongolian gerbil

Optogenetic Control of Neural Circuits in the Mongolian Gerbil [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) is widely used as a model organism for the human auditory system. Its hearing range is very similar to ours and it uses the same mechanisms for sound localization.

Unsupervised discovery of family specific vocal usage in the Mongolian gerbil [PDF]
eLifeIn nature, animal vocalizations can provide crucial information about identity, including kinship and hierarchy. However, lab-based vocal behavior is typically studied during brief interactions between animals with no prior social relationship, and under

Cytology of the bone marrow in the Mongolian gerbil [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1978 Heterophils were the most numerous cells (39%), followed by the normoblasts (27%) and lymphocytes (8%). Significant differences between males and females were observed in the total number of heterophils (42 and 35% respectively, P < 0·002), heterophil myelocytes (12 and 10%, P < 0·01) and the myeloid:erythroid ratio (1·9:1 and 1·4:1, P < 0·03)
