Evaluation of Taterapox Virus in Small Animals
Viruses, 2017 Taterapox virus (TATV), which was isolated from an African gerbil (Tatera kempi) in 1975, is the most closely related virus to variola; however, only the original report has examined its virology.

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 916-921, May 2025.Here, we developed a novel Chinese hamster genetic quality detection system using single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers following this process. To obtain SNP loci, we conducted whole genome sequencing on 24 Chinese hamsters. Then, we employed an SNP loci screening criterion that we set up previously and initially screened 214 SNP loci with wide ...

Predicting the Activity Level of the Great Gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) via Machine Learning
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.The particle swarm optimization algorithm–extreme learning machine was utilized to develop the hazard model for the great gerbil. ABSTRACT The great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) is a pest rodent that is widely distributed in Eurasia, and assessing its outbreak risk and instituting timely population control are very important for protecting vegetation and ...

Testosterone mediates life‐history trade‐offs in female mammals
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 871-891, April 2025.ABSTRACT Hormones mediate life‐history trade‐offs. In female mammals, such trade‐offs have been studied predominantly in the contexts of oestrogen, progesterone and prolactin. We evaluate the hypothesis that prenatal and postnatal testosterone levels structure and regulate trade‐offs in females involving components of reproduction and survival.

Journal of Zoology, Volume 325, Issue 3, Page 254-266, March 2025.This research highlights the critical impact of climate change‐induced heatwaves on mammalian reproductive fitness, focusing on two African rodent species. By examining key male fertility indicators, the study demonstrates that acute heatwave exposure significantly impairs reproductive success, particularly in smaller species.

Relationship between parental experience and presence of the father in the parental care exercised by Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) [PDF]
Biotemas, 2004 This study aimed to investigate the effects of the presence of the father and previous experience in rearing offspring on parental behavior in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus), a species in which both the males and females rear pups.
