Interaural time difference processing in the mammalian medial superior olive [PDF]
The dominant cue for localization of low-frequency sounds are microsecond differences in the time-of-arrival of sounds at the two ears [interaural time difference (ITD)].

Polygynous mammals often have male-biased sexual size dimorphism due to male–male competition for mates. However, fecundity selection may enlarge female body size.

Population Coding of Interaural Time Differences in Gerbils and Barn Owls [PDF]
Interaural time differences (ITDs) are the primary cue for the localization of low-frequency sound sources in the azimuthal plane. For decades, it was assumed that the coding of ITDs in the mammalian brain was similar to that in the avian brain, where ...

Methods and Routes of two German-Mongolian Zoological Expeditions thr ough the S teppe, Semi-Deser t and Deser t Zones of Mongolia in 1995 and 2002 [PDF]
Routes, methods and key results of two mammalian expeditions undertaken by German and Mongolian zoologists in 1995 and 2002 are described. The 1995 expedition trapped a sample of Mongolian gerbils ( Meriones unguiculatus) (n = 167) with high genetic

Impaired Auditory Temporal Selectivity in the Inferior Colliculus of Aged Mongolian Gerbils [PDF]
Aged humans show severe difficulties in temporal auditory processing tasks (e.g., speech recognition in noise, low-frequency sound localization, gap detection). A degradation of auditory function with age is also evident in experimental animals.

Response characteristics in the apex of the gerbil cochlea studied through auditory nerve recordings [PDF]
In this study, we analyze the processing of low-frequency sounds in the cochlear apex through responses of auditory nerve fibers (ANFs) that innervate the apex.

Role of γ-glutamyltranspeptidase in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter suis and Helicobacter pylori infections [PDF]
Helicobacter (H.) suis can colonize the stomach of pigs as well as humans, causing chronic gastritis and other gastric pathological changes including gastric ulceration and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.

Bile acids. XXXV. Metabolism of 5α-cholestan-3β-ol in the Mongolian gerbil
The principal bile acid of Mongolian gerbil bile is cholic acid, although small amounts of chenodeoxycholic and lesser amounts of deoxycholic acids are identified. Muricholic acids were not found in gerbil bile.

Structure and function of the mammalian middle ear. II: Inferring function from structure. [PDF]
Anatomists and zoologists who study middle ear morphology are often interested to know what the structure of an ear can reveal about the auditory acuity and hearing range of the animal in question.
