Ammodile
Ammodillus imbellis
French: Ammodile / German: Ammodill-Rennmaus / Spanish: Ammodile
Other common names: Somali Gerbil, Walo
Taxonomy. Gerbillus imbellis de Winton, 1898,
Goodar, Somalia.
Ammodillus imbellis was initially described as a species of Gerbillus but later placed in new genus based on unique skull characteris- tics. It is rare, and its phylogenetic affinities have not been tested molecularly. Morphologically, Ammodillus is a basal lineage of Gerbillinae, justifying the tribe Ammodillini. Monotypic.
Distribution. Somalia and E Ethiopia.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 84-105 mm, tail 129-150 mm, ear 14-16 mm, hindfoot 26-29 mm; weight 31 g. The Ammodileis rather small, with long tail (145% of headbody length) and developed pencil of brown to black hairs at tip. Dorsum is reddish fawn to brownish yellow, and venter is white. Forefeet and hindfeet are white, and soles of hindfeet are naked. Molar rows converge posteriorly more than in other species of Gerbillinae, and coronoid process on mandible is absent. Females have three pairs of nipples. Diploid number is 2n = 18.
Habitat. Dry and semiarid savannas with bush and scrubs and coastal steppe.
Food and Feeding. Little is known, but due to absence of coronoid process on mandible, it has been speculated that the Ammodile eats only soft food.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. No information.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Ammodileslive in colonies close to sandy hills and dig burrows in sandy soils.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. There 1s little information about distribution and ecology of the Ammodile, butits habitat 1s very altered by humans.

description: This policy brief examines child neglect among refugee children in Gaza, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and the West Bank, using data from the 2021 Assessment of Learning Outcomes (ALO) and the Survey of Associated Factors (SAF). The brief argues that child neglect should be addressed from a systemic perspective. It highlights the need to support schools, families, and learners to ensure a healthy childhood and holistic growth in adulthood. The analysis focuses on how factors such as lack of supervision, lack of access to learning materials, and violence in schools affect educational achievement.

Diagnosis. Placed in a monotypic genus, this species is distinguised from all other zoarcids by the following combination of characters: suborbital bones 6, forming a circle under eye; two postorbital pores; seven preoperculomandibular pores; flesh gelatinous; lateral line mediolateral; gill slit extending to mid-pectoral base; scales and pelvic fins absent; pseudobranch, pyloric caeca, vomerine and palatine teeth present; vertebrae 22-24 + 52-57 = 74-80; P 11-13.
Description. Vertebrae 22 + 52 = 74; D 69; A 53; P 12; C 9; pelvics absent; branchiostegal rays 6; gill rakers 0 + 15; vomerine teeth 20; palatine teeth 25/30; pseudobranch filaments 2; pyloric caeca 2. Following proportions as percent SL: head length 20.2; head width 13.9; head depth 14.5; predorsal length 20.8; preanal length 48.0; pectoral base depth 4.6; pectoral-fin length 9.8; body depth 12.3; gill slit length 5.3. Following proportions as percent HL: head width 68.7; head depth 71.8; upper jaw length 49.6; snout length 23.4; eye diameter 18.0; gill slit length 26.2; pectoral-fin length 48.7; interorbital width 10.4; interpupillary width 37.4; caudal-fin length 31.0. Pectoral base/ length ratio 46.8.
No variation in head pore pattern from that reported by Anderson (1988): preoperculomandibulars 7; suborbitals 5; postorbitals 2; supraorbitals (nasals) 2; occipitals and interorbital absent. Caudal fin with two epural, four upper hypural and three lower hypural rays. Dorsal-fin origin associated with vertebra 2, with no free pterygiophores. Anal-fin origin associated with first caudal vertebra, with no pterygiophores inserted anterior to its haemal spine. Lateral line mediolateral, difficult to trace. Gill slit extending ventrally to mid-pectoral base.
Remarks. Originally described from a single specimen, I redescribed this species from 23 specimens from near the type locality in the Scotia Sea (Anderson, 1988). Subsequently specimens were taken on Banzare Bank (Anderson, 1994). The present specimen was taken north of the axis of the Antarctic Convergence, but at its depth of capture the area should still be considered Subantarctic (sensu Anderson 1990a).

Flower’s Gerbil
Gerbillus floweri
French: Gerbille de Flower / German: Flower-Rennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Flower
Taxonomy. Gerbillus flower: Thomas, 1919,
“Wadi Hareidin, extreme northern Sinai, a few miles south of Al Arish, about 31° N_, 34° L.,” Peypt.
D. J. Osborn and I. Helmy in 1980 consid- ered G. flower: a subspecies of G. pyramidum, but, following D. M. Lay’s 1983 review, it is listed as a valid species by S. Aulagnier and colleagues in 2009 and by L.. Granjon in D. C. D. Happold’s 2013 treatise. A recent revision of the G. pyramidum species complex allowed A. Ndiaye and colleagues in 2016 to confirm the validity of G. floweri thanks to a mtDNA phylogeny. Moreover, accordingto these authors, G. perpallidus is ajunior synonym of G. flower. That opinion is followed here pending a full revision of the genus. Monotypic.
Distribution. Both sides of Nile Delta Valley and Sinai, N Egypt, and Negev and coastal plains of S Israel and Palestine.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 95-130 mm, tail 130-158 mm, ear 14-18 mm, hindfoot 31-38 mm; weight 26-63 g. Flower’s Gerbil is a medium-sized gerbil with hairy soles and a long bicolored tail (120-130% of head—body length) ending with a small tuft of gray hairs. Dorsal pelage is cinnamon to tawny with a very light dorsal stripe; ventral pelage is pure white, as are some spots around eyes and on limbs. Tympanic bullae are inflated and represent 29% oftotal length ofskull. Different karyotypes were reported with variable diploid numbers (2n varying between 50-52 and 64-66), while for G. perpallidus from Cairo (Egypt) 2n = 40, FN = 76.
Habitat. Sand dunes and palm plantations near cultures and in Acacia (Fabaceae) groves. Flower’s Gerbil has also been found in coastal sand dunes, and in sandy areas close to salt lakes generally covered by low scrubby vegetation.
Food and Feeding. Flower’s Gerbil feeds on colocynth (Citrullus colocynthis, Cucurbitaceae) seeds.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Flower’s Gerbil is nocturnal and terrestrial. It digs burrows in sand, which are closed during the day.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Flower’s Gerbil may be found in quite high density in sand dunes of Sinai.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Flower’s Gerbil is commonin its distribution area.

description: The Camponotus aureopilus Species­Group
Members of this species­group can be separated from most other species in the genus, and from all Old World species, by having either or both of the following characters: (1) head with an angle, ridge or strong inflection line running between the compound eye and the posterolateral corner, the area immediately below this ridge varying from weakly to strongly concave (Fig. 6); (2) the presence of numerous enlarged, closely spaced, elongate, finely barbed white or yellow hairs on the dorsum of the pronotum, mesonotum and/or gaster (Figs 24, 25). These hairs are found in dense groups and are present in all species with the exception of cyrtomyrmodes (in this species the posterolateral section of the head is strongly ridged dorsally and concave laterally). When present, these hairs will immediately identify these taxa among Old World Camponotus. A few New World species in the subgenera Manniella, Myrmaphaenus and Myrmeurynota share these characters (for example, C. personatus and C. sphaericus), but there is no evidence of close phylogenetic relationship between these two sets of taxa.
Donisthorpe (1936, 1941a, b), who described three of the species treated here, placed his species in the subgenus Myrmophyma and, as noted below, Emery (1925) considered aureopilus as belonging here as well. This is a South­east Asian and Australian subgenus containing just over 30 species (Bolton 1995). While not currently defined in any rigorous manner, all species share a similar head shape (straight­sided and either parallel or converging anteriorly) and either a compact, highly arched mesosoma (as in the aureopilus group) or an elongate body with a low propodeum (as in ephippium (Smith) and relatives). The aureopilus species­group, as treated here, is known to contain the following species:
aureopilus Viehmeyer
velutinus Stitz, new synonym
cyrtomyrmodes Donisthorpe densopilus, new species
flavocrines Donisthorpe mussolinii Donisthorpe

Algerian Gerbil
Gerbillus garamantis
French: Gerbille dAlgérie / German: Algerien-Rennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Argelia
Taxonomy. Gerbillus garamantis Lataste, 1881,
Sidi Roueld, Ouargla, Algeria.
Although previously synonymized with G. manus on morphological grounds by many authors, including F. Petter in 1975, I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990, K. Kowalski and B. Rzebik-Kowalska in 1991, and M. B. Qumsiyeh in 1996, the karyotype of G. garamantis is distinct, which supports its species-level status according to R. Matthey in 1954, D. M. Lay in 1983, and G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005. Some authors believe that its karyotype is not valid, but here G. garamantis is retained as a full species pending further molecular revision of the G. nanus complex and its very wide area of distribution. G. garamantis may also be related to G. amoenus. In original description in 1881, F. Lataste also pointed out its morphological similarity to G. campestris. Monotypic.
Distribution. Known only from type locality in EC Algeria.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 74-78 mm, tail 115 mm, ear 7-12 mm, hindfoot 22 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Algerian Gerbil is a rather small gerbil with naked soles. Dorsal pelage is reddish brown and ventral side white. Long tail (147-155% of head-body length) has sparse hairs and terminal pencil of brown hairs. Tympanic bullae are well developed and the species could be characterized by presence of eleven pairs of ribs only. Females bear four pairs of mammae. A karyotype of 2n = 54 has been mentioned from an unknown locality in Algeria.
Habitat. Arid zones of southern Algeria.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Algerian Gerbil is probably nocturnal and terrestrial, digging burrows.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Not assessed on The [UCN Red List as a separate species, but classified as Least Concern under G. nanus.

description: Camponotus aureopilus Viehmeyer (Figs 1–3)
Camponotus (Myrmogonia) aureopilus Viehmeyer 1914: 531. Worker syntypes from Rawlinson Mountains, Papua New Guinea (not examined).
Camponotus (Myrmophyma) aureopilus var. velutina Stitz 1938: 120. Two worker syntypes from north­eastern Papua New Guinea (specific locality unknown) (not examined). New synonym.
Diagnosis (minor worker). Enlarged hairs absent from pronotum (but thin erect hairs present); enlarged hairs on gaster limited to a small central cluster.
Description (minor worker). Posterolateral margin of head angular, the dorsal surface weakly convex, the lateral surface weakly concave, a ridge running from just below the eye to the posterolateral corner. Petiolar node tapering dorsally into a blunt angle. Individual erect hairs scattered on dorsum of mesosoma, petiole and gaster; enlarged yellow hairs present on central region of the gastral dorsum; pubescence abundant on entire body. Colour black, gaster dark red­black, legs dark red.
Measurements. Minor worker (n=2): CI 92–94, HL 1.80–2.21mm, HW 1.65– 2.08mm, ML 2.78–3.19mm, MTL 2.06–2.25mm, SI 120–139, SL 2.29–2.50mm.
Material Examined. Papua New Guinea: Mt. Lina, Cyclops Mountains, 3,500ft. (Cheesman,L.E.) (LACM).
Comments. Emery (1925) transferred this species from the subgenus Myrmogonia (where it was originally placed) to Myrmophyma, with Santschi (1928) subsequently transferring it to Thlipsepinotus. Unfortunately the subgeneric classification within Camponotus is currently rather confused and subgeneric placements are difficult to assess rigorously. The queen was described by Stitz (1938), but little else is known about this species.
Stitz (1938) described velutinus as a subspecies of aureopilus, citing differences in the shape of the petiolar node to justify his new taxon. However, even with the limited material currently available this difference is slight and there appears to be little justification for recognising this taxon as distinct from aureopilus. Because of this velutinus is here treated as a synonym of aureopilus.

Background: The theory that stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) has been proposed for at least a century. However, evidence supporting this hypothesis has only recently come to surface. AITDs, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves' disease, result from immune system infiltration, with stress significantly modulating neuro-immune-endocrine responses.
Methods: This literature review examines the impact of stress-related immune activation in AITD. It explores how triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and thyroglobulin (Tg) are affected by T and B cell behaviors, cytokine production, sympathetic nervous system (SNS) functions, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, glucocorticoid signaling pathways, glucocorticoid-induced tumor-necrosis-factor-receptor (GITR) proteins, and the Th17/Treg ratio.
Results: Sensory stimuli (stress, exercise, and diet) trigger HPA axis and SNS altering cortisol levels affecting TSH signaling and immune responses. Glucocorticoid and catecholamine stimulation impacts immune cell activity by acting on IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17 and other proinflammatory cytokines. Th17/Treg ratio imbalances are exerted by FoxP3 transcription factors and GITR protein expression heightening cytokine behavior and activating B10 cells, driving autoimmunity. CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and B10 cells to elicit attacks on thyroid hormones, receptors, TPO, and Tg proteins.
Conclusion: Stress influences AITD development and progression through complex immune pathways. Auto reactivity attacks on thyroid cells may occur as a memory mechanism to chronic stress episodes and desperate measures to reduce intracellular stress. Future research should explore stress questionnaires related to AITD onset and develop integrative body-mind-spirit interventions to mitigate stress-related immune activation.

description: Camponotus cyrtomyrmodes Donisthorpe (Figs 4–6)
Camponotus (Myrmophyma) cyrtomyrmodes Donisthorpe 1941a: 139. Two worker syntypes and one male syntype from Mafulu, Wharton Range, Papua New Guinea (BMNH, examined).
Diagnosis (minor worker). Dorsum of mesosoma with fewer than 6 scattered hairs and enlarged hairs absent; anterolateral corners of pronotum strongly ridged.
Description (minor worker). Posterolateral margin of head strongly concave with a strong ridge running between the eye and the posterolateral corner, the head widest at this ridge, slightly narrower just above the mandibular insertions and narrowest just below the eyes, the area between the ridges (the upper part of the head behind the eyes) forming an essentially flat surface, this surface extending onto the laterally expanded pronotum and flattened anterior mesonotum to form a single, broad “shield.” Antennal scape long. Petiolar node low, block­like, the dorsal surface broadly convex. Pronotum, mesonotum, propodeum and petiole each with 2–4 erect hairs, hairs more abundant on head and gaster, enlarged hairs absent; pubescence present but thin and scattered. Colour red­black with legs yellow­red.
Measurements. Minor worker (n=4): CI 93–98, HL 1.40–1.53mm, HW 1.37– 1.45mm, ML 2.30–2.42mm, MTL 1.64–1.76mm, SI 152–158, SL 2.11–2.20mm.
Material Examined. Papua New Guinea: Northern District: 8km S Kokoda (Taylor, R.W.) (ANIC).
Comments. As noted by Donisthorpe (1941a), the worker of this unusual species superficially resembles species of Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma), especially in the overall shape of the mesosoma. However this shape is also shared by other members of this species­group as well as the apparently unrelated Australian C. postcornutus Clark (Shattuck and McArthur 2002) and is clearly convergent with Polyrhachis.

Grobben’s Gerbil
Gerbillus grobbeni
French: Gerbille de Grobben / German: Grobben-Rennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Grobben
Taxonomy. Gerbillus grobbeni Klaptocz, 1909,
Dernah, Cyrenaica, Libya.
F. Petter in 1975 and G. B. Corbet in 1978 included G. grobbeni within G. nanus, but G. L. Ranck’s 1968 treatment of grobbeni as a separate species was followed by D. M. Lay in 1983 and G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005 pending further revision. According to Ranck, and also S. Aulagnier and colleagues in 2009, grobbeni could be a synonym of G. amoenus, but no genetic or morphometric data support this hypothesis. Monotypic.
Distribution. Known only from type locality in NE Libya.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 83-5 mm, tail 120 mm, ear 11 mm, hindfoot 24-6 mm. No specific data are available for body weight (from holotype). Externally Grobben’s Gerbil is very similar to Pleasant Gerbil (G. amoenus). Description of holotype indicated that this rather small gerbil is characterized by brown-reddish dark dorsal pelage and white ventral one. Hairs may be long, and some white auricular spots are present. Long tail (144% of head-body length) is bicolored and ends in black pointed hairs (apparently not making a pencil). Hindfoot soles are naked.
Habitat. Coastal sand dunes.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Grobben’s Gerbil is terrestrial.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red Last.

Pygmy Gerbil
Gerbillus henleyi
French: Gerbille de Henley / German: Henley-Rennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo pigmeo
Other common names: Henley's Gerbil, Henley's Pygmy Gerbil
Taxonomy. Dipodillus henley: de Winton, 1903,
Zaghig, Wadi Natrun, Egypt.
Taxonomic status of G. henleyi is not con- tested, despite lack of molecular data. Its morphological characters were revised by D. M. Lay in 1983 and by I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990. D. L. Harrison and P. J. J. Bates in 1991 accepted two different subspecies on geographical grounds. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution G.h.henleyideWinton,1903—aridzonesofNAfrica(fromWesternSaharaandMoroccotoEgypt),andSoftheSaharafromSMauritaniaandNSenegaltoNSudan,withanisolatedrecordfromDjibouti.
G. h. mariae Bonhote, 1910 — Middle East (Sinai, S Israel, and Jordan) and scattered on Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, NE Qatar, N Yemen, andOman).
Descriptive notes. Head-body 55-73 mm, tail 73-107 mm, ear 8-11 mm, hindfoot 15-8-20 mm; weight 8-14 g. The Pygmy Gerbil is a very small gerbil with naked hindfoot soles. Dorsum is dark brownish gray, venter white, and well-defined white supraorbital and post-auricular spots are present. There is a black line on eyelids. Tail is long (130% of head—body length) and ends in thin dark gray pencil of hairs. Mandible and molar rows are very small. Chromosomal complement is 2n = 52 and FNa = 58-62.
Habitat. Arid environments, including sand dunes, saline marshes with halophytes, dry riverbeds, and gravel plains.
Food and Feeding. The Pygmy Gerbil mainly feeds on seeds.
Breeding. Different studies reported 3-6 embryos per pregnant female and possible seasonality of reproduction.
Activity patterns. The Pygmy Gerbil is nocturnal and terrestrial. It digs simple burrows below surface, with a small entrance (10-20 mm diameter) closed during the day.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. In Israel, population density averaged 0-9-2-3 ind/ha (range 0-5-5 ind/ha). Recaptures of Pygmy Gerbils are rare, which may indicate that the species has no territory and is very mobile.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Pygmy Gerbil may be abundant locally and has a large range. Because it is found in arid environments it seems not to be under any threats.

Moroccan Gerbil
Gerbillus hesperinus
French: Gerbille hespérine / German: Marokko-Rennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Marruecos
Other common names: Western Gerbil
Taxonomy. Gerbillus hesperinus Cabrera, 1906,
Mogador (= Essaouira), Morocco.
Morphological and cytogenetic characteristics of G. hesperinus are well documented in several studies. A. Ndiaye and colleagues, in their 2012 review of taxonomy of Moroccan Gerbillus, confirmed molecularly the validity of this species, sister taxon of which is G. hoogstraali. Monotypic.
Distribution. Known only from type locality in coastal Morocco.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 90-114 mm, tail 98-120 mm, ear 13-19 mm, hindfoot 20-28 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Moroccan Gerbil is a mediums-sized gerbil with hairy soles on hindfeet. Dorsal pelage is sandy brown with some gray hairs, and ventral pelage pure white like feet. Tail is long (115% of head—body length) and bicolored, and terminates in a small pencil. Tympanic bullae are small compared with those of the two other Moroccan endemics, namely Hoogstraal’s Gerbil (G. hoogstraali) and Occidental Gerbil (G. occiduus). Chromosomal complement has 2n = 58 and FNa = 78. Habitat. Wind-protected tops of coastal dunes with argan trees (Argania spinosa, Sapotaceae) and Retama raetam (Fabaceae).

Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Moroccan Gerbil is probably nocturnal and terrestrial, digging burrows.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. The Moroccan Gerbil has not been trapped at type locality since 1980s. Recent expedition failed to capture it again. Itis estimated that the species occurs in an area ofless than 500 km? in two well-separated populations on either side of the highly touristic resort of Essaouira. There appear to be no protection measures.
