Biological Issues and Distribution of Mongolian Gerbil (Meriones Unguiculatus, Milne Edward, 1876) in Mongolia
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
Grasslands are the dominant landscape in Mongolia, accounting for 70-80 % of the national land area.Spreading of Mongolian gerbil distribution throughout the Mongolia including sandy desert, sandy steppe, steppe and forest steppe, zones of pasture has been shown significantly harmful effects on wildlife habitat. The distribution, morphology characteristic of the rodent Mongolian Gerbil’s survey undertaken by researchers Institute of Plant Protection Mongolian in 2012-2013 are described. The expedition trapped a sample of Mongolian gerbils (Scientific name) in different regions, eastern, western and central regions. During the survey expedition collected /261/ Mongolian gerbils during an extended west-central-eastern part of country. Methods applied included distribution, morphologic characteristic, behavioral experiments, and determination of pregnancy comparison. New techniques were introduced to determine life style inside the hole activity of Mongolian gerbils. Most trapped in the steppe were Mongolian gerbils with an estimated density of individuals 200 per km2. The need for further complex expeditions through the arid zones of Mongolia are discussed. It is certainly needed to study of the geographical distribution of the species.
