- 1 April 2006
Despite some popularity of hamsters as pets and laboratory animals there is no reliable phylogeny of the subfamily Cricetinae available so far. Contradicting views exist not only about the actual… Expand
Isolation and characterization of 18 microsatellites in the Peking duck (Anas platyrhynchos) and their application in other waterfowl species
- S. Maak, K. Wimmers, S. Weigend, K. Neumann
- Biology
- 1 June 2003
We have isolated and characterized 18 microsatellite loci in the Peking duck (Anas platyrhynchos). The average number of alleles per locus was 3.5, ranging from one to six in domestic Peking ducks (n… Expand
Low microsatellite variation in laboratory gerbrils.

The Mongolian gerbil has become a model organism of increasing importance for the understanding of aging, epilepsy, the process of domestication or sociobiological questions. We report the… Expand
Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite loci characterized in the house sparrow Passer domesticus (Passeridae, Aves)
- S. Griffith, D. Dawson, +4 authors T. Burke

- 1 March 2007
We characterized 14 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the house sparrow Passer domesticus. Four loci were isolated from house sparrow genomic libraries and 10 loci were identified by testing 100… Expand
Genetic spatial structure of European common hamsters (Cricetus cricetus) — a result of repeated range expansion and demographic bottlenecks
- K. Neumann, J. Michaux, +4 authors R. Gattermann
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 April 2005
The spatial genetic structure of common hamsters (Cricetus cricetus) was investigated using three partial mitochondrial (mt) genes and 11 nuclear microsatellite loci. All marker systems revealed… Expand
Multiple bottlenecks in threatened western European populations of the common hamster Cricetus cricetus (L.)

Daily activity rhythms are nearly universal among animals and their specific pattern is an adaptation of each species to its ecological niche. Owing to the extremely consistent nocturnal patterns of… Expand
Notes on the current distribution and the ecology of wild golden hamsters ( Mesocricetus auratus )
- R. Gattermann, P. Fritzsche, +4 authors R. Yakti
- Biology
- 1 July 2001
Two expeditions were carried out during September 1997 and March 1999 to confirm the current existence of Mesocricetus auratus in northern Syria. Six females and seven males were caught at different… Expand
Differences in reproductive success between laboratory and wild-derived golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) as a consequence of inbreeding

- Biology
- Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
- 1 March 2006
All laboratory golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) originated from a sibling pairing back in 1930. Due to this extreme founder event, domestic golden hamsters are presumed to be one of the most… Expand
