C-banding karyotype and relationship of the dipodids Allactaga and Jaculus (Mammalia: Rodentia) in Egypt.
The C-banding karyotype of the jerboas Allactaga tetradactyla, Jaculus jaculus jaculus, and Jaculus orientalis was described and interspecific relationships were discussed. Despite the conservation of a relatively small amount of C-heterochromatin located at the centromeric region of some chromosomes in all karyotypes, a striking loss of C-heterochromatin was clearly observed in J. orientalis. ...
متن کاملSeasonal influence on some blood and biochemical parameters of Jerboa (Jaculus jaculus) in Saudi Arabia
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of seasonal variation on the haematological and biochemical parameters in adult wild Jerboa (Jaculus jaculus) in Saudi Arabia. Blood samples of 40 Jerboa were collected in January and August for analyzing hematological and biochemical parameters. In hematological parameters, haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hae...
متن کاملThe comparative gastrointestinal morphology of Jaculus jaculus (Rodentia) and Paraechinus aethiopicus (Erinaceomorpha).
Jaculus jaculus (Lesser Egyptian jerboa) and Paraechinus aethiopicus (Desert hedgehog) are small mammals which thrive in desert conditions and are found, among others, in the Arabian Peninsula. Jaculus jaculus is omnivorous while P. aethiopicus is described as being insectivorous. The study aims to describe the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) morphology of these animals which differ in diet and ph...
متن کاملThe lesser Egyptian jerboa, Jaculus jaculus: a unique rodent model for evolution and development.
Tetrapods that have evolved the ability to run or bound at great speeds over long distances have repeatedly converged on specific morphological limb adaptations, including the loss of lateral digits, elongation of limb segments, and fusion of individual elements. Many of the more familiar cursorial animals, such as horses and deer, are large and do not lend themselves well to experimental embry...
متن کاملLarge Spatial Scale of the Phenotype-Environment Color Matching in Two Cryptic Species of African Desert Jerboas (Dipodidae: Jaculus)
We tested the camouflage hypothesis, or the linkage between animal (Saharan rodent) and habitat coloration, on the largest geographical scale yet conducted. We aimed to determine whether phenotypic variation is explained by micro-habitat variation and/or genetic polymorphism to determine 1) the strength of linkage between fur color and local substrate color, and 2) the divergence in fur colorat...
