Genetic consequences of group living in Mongolian gerbils.
Social behavior can shape the local population genetic structure of mammals. Group living can increase pairwise genetic relatedness of mammals at a local level but differentiate the genetic structure at a population level through offspring philopatry and nonrandom mating. Our study aimed to test the hypothesis that social groups of Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) would consist of gene...
متن کاملCultivation of Giardia duodenalis in Mongolian gerbils.
The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) is susceptible to infection with Giardia duodenalis trophozoites. Each animal was orally infected with 0.5 ml Diamond's TYIS-33 culture medium containing 10(6) trophozoites. Cysts were then collected and concentrated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. G. duodenalis cysts were first observed in feces on day 5 post-infection. The characteristic of G. ...

SCHNEIDER, J. R., A. M. VELTRI, W. A. DEGRAW AND J. A. FRENCH. Telemetered temperature monitoring in preweanling Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). PHYSIOL BEHAV 57(I), 199-203, 1995.--Like most small mammals, Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) are born without the ability to maintain core body temperature (Tb). Breeding adults, juvenile alloparents, nest materials, and other lit...
متن کاملInter‐group associations in Mongolian gerbils: Quantitative evidence from social network analysis
Animals often interact non-randomly with conspecifics, and association preferences can differ across life-history stages to maximize individuals' fitness. Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) are a social rodent that live in highly seasonal habitats and display seasonal fluctuations in population density, growth rate and the size of overlapped home ranges. Nevertheless, whether gerbils mod...
متن کاملLansoprazole induces collagenous colitis in the colon of Mongolian gerbils.
Collagenous colitis (CC) is an illness characterized by chronic diarrhea with possible effects on neoplastic development, but there have been no reports in animals. We therefore tried to establish CC development in a Mongolian gerbil (MG) model by long-term continuous lansoprazole (LPZ) administration and aimed to clarify the relationship between LPZ administration and CC occurrence. We divided...
