We recently discovered the first known menstruating rodent. With the exception of four bats
and the elephant shrew, the common spiny mouse (Acomys cahirinus) is the only species …

In deserts where unpredictable rainfall arises and a large variation in temperature occurs,
this poses severe energetic and water related constraints on reproduction in small mammals …

Arid-dwelling mammals are exposed to extreme daily temperatures, which puts these
mammals at risk of overheating and dehydration, particularly while active, these risks are …

There is little information pertaining to the reproductive biology of the Baluchistan gerbil
(Gerbillus nanus) despite a broad distribution throughout the Middle East. In the current …

The reproductive pattern of the Libyan jird (Meriones libycus Lichtenstein, 1823) from central
Saudi Arabia was investigated in the absence of rainfall. In this study, body mass …

This study aimed to assess the seasonal reproductive strategy occurring in the male Lesser
Egyptian jerboa (Jaculus jaculus) and determine which environmental cues are responsible …

Context Reproduction and survival are two of the most important demographic factors that
play a major role in changing population abundances of pest species over time and space …

In arid regions, unpredictable rainfall patterns and extreme temperature variation occurs; this
poses severe constraints on reproduction in small mammals. In the present study, the gonad …

Many seasonally breeding mammals use changes in photoperiod as a reliable cue to time
reproduction. Photoperiodic timing assists an animal in predicting annual environmental …

For spiny mice, detailed long-term data on reproductive endocrine function is lacking, as
limited blood volumes make frequent collections of individual plasma samples for hormone …
