Molecular phylogeny of the Cricetinae subfamily based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b and 12S rRNA genes and the nuclear vWF gene.
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

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

Genetic spatial structure of European common hamsters (Cricetus cricetus) — a result of repeated range expansion and demographic bottlenecks
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

Golden hamsters are nocturnal in captivity but diurnal in nature
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 )
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

Photic and non-photic effects on the daily activity pattern of Mongolian gerbils
The paper analyses the daily activity pattern of Mongolian gerbils with and without access to a running wheel. To evaluate the synchronizing and the masking effects of light, experiments were… Expand

Differences in reproductive success between laboratory and wild-derived golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) as a consequence of inbreeding
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

Effects of social stress on behavior and corpus luteum in female golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus)
The consequences of group-keeping as a social stressor on the solitary-living golden hamster were studied. Two females at the same stage of the estrous cycle were kept together for 5 weeks.… Expand
