Speech Sound Discrimination by Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]

open access: yesHearing Research, 2021
AbstractThe present study establishes the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) as a model for investigating the perception of human speech sounds. We report data on the discrimination of logatomes (CVCs1- consonant-vowel-consonant combinations with outer consonants /b/, /d/, /s/ and /t/ and central vowels /a/, /a:/, /ε/, /e:/, /I/, /i:/, /ɔ/, /o:/,

Immunocytochemical localization of calbindin-D28K, calretinin, and parvalbumin in the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) visual cortex

open access: yesFolia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2023
INTRODUCTION: While most animals of the Muridae family are nocturnal, the gerbil displays diurnal activity and provides a useful model for visual system research.

A Hierarchical Niche Structure, Not Niche Partitioning, Organizes a Seasonally Dynamic Flea Community. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Using seasonal data from a single‐host system (Mongolian gerbil‐flea), we show that community organization is governed by a hierarchical niche structure rather than classic niche partitioning. Network analyses reveal a persistent generalist core with seasonally shifting peripheries (spring assembly, summer integration, autumn reorganization).

The Organization of Somatostatin-Immunoreactive Cells in the Visual Cortex of the Gerbil

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Somatostatin (SST) is widely expressed in the brain and plays various, vital roles involved in neuromodulation. The purpose of this study is to characterize the organization of SST neurons in the Mongolian gerbil visual cortex (VC) using ...

Generation of Gene-Knockout Mongolian Gerbils via CRISPR/Cas9 System

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus), a well-known “multifunctional” experimental animal, plays a crucial role in the research of hearing, cerebrovascular diseases and Helicobacter pylori infection.

Divergent genes in gerbils: prevalence, relation to GC-biased substitution, and phenotypic relevance

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Two gerbil species, sand rat (Psammomys obesus) and Mongolian jird (Meriones unguiculatus), can become obese and show signs of metabolic dysregulation when maintained on standard laboratory diets. The genetic basis of this phenotype is unknown.
