Scolytodes is readily recognized by the sharply carinate lateral margins of the pronotum and by the separated procoxae. The protibiae have two large lateral teeth near its distal end (socketed teeth embedded in cuticle, see fig. 8 in Jordal, 1998b). The eyes are entire, weakly sinuate, or emarginate, and the antennal funicle is either 5- or 6- segmented. In most species the frons of the female is distinctly ornamented, with various patterns of setae and impressions (Jordal 2013), while the male has a nearly glabrous and convex frons.

King Jird
Meriones rex
French: Mérione royale / German: Konigsrennratte / Spanish: Gerbillo real
Taxonomy. Meriones rex Yerbury & Thomas, 1895,
“Lahej,” near Aden, Yemen.
An Arabian endemic, M. rex was thought to belong to subgenus Parameriones by C. F. Nadler and D. M. Lay in 1967 and D.L. Harrison and P.J. J. Bates in 1991, an opinion not followed by I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990 and G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005. M. Ito and coworkers in 2010 presented a molecular study of different Meriones and showed that M. rex is sister taxon of M. crassus and is a valid species. Monotypic.
Distribution. Highlands of SW Arabia (Saudi Arabia and Yemen).
Descriptive notes. Head—body 133-172 mm, tail 105-196 mm, ear 15-23-5 mm, hindfoot 31-42 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The KingJird is a large jird characterized by its naked hindfoot soles and hairy tail, latter shorter than body length and with terminal tuft of black hairs less developed than that of the Persian Jird (M. persicus). Dark clay-brown dorsal pelage is rough and coarse, with diffuse black hairs, and venter is dull buffy white. Prominent white post-auricular spots are visible. Robust skull has medium-sized tympanic bullae not fully inflated and representing 34% oftotal skull length. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 38, FN = 74.
Habitat. The King Jird occupies all types of habitat found in south-western Arabia, from bushes at border of desert or cultivated lands up to 2200 m above sea level to “wadis” (ephemeral riverbeds) with large acacias (Acacia, Fabaceae).
Food and Feeding. Diet of the King Jird is poorly known, but it feeds on Salvadora persica (Salvadoraceae) bushes.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. King Jirds are nocturnal and terrestrial.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. King Jirds live in large burrows among bushes; burrows are shared with other rodents and with lizards.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List because the species is rather common in its area of distribution.

description:
Background: Preliminary research indicates that integrative therapies could be useful for successful practice interventions for people suffering from alcohol use disorders. However, little has been published about the integration of a translational approach emphasizing out-patient nutritional, lifestyle, and educational therapies in combination. This review elaborates on the process of prescribing a nutritional intervention for inebriate clients.Methods: The aim was to draft a clinical nutritional intervention for inebriate clients in nutrition practice. An in-depth exploration of environmental, biological, genetic, nutritional, and psychological factors was performed. Central nervous system, toll-like receptor theory, immune system, gamma(𝛾)-aminobutyric acid and dopamine transmissions of the brain, reward system, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-thyroid axis, alcoholic personalities, gut and liver processes, psychological behavioral assessments and questionnaires, traumatic events, sleep schedules, and withdrawal processes was researched to develop a translational approach to tailoring nutrition to clients with alcohol use disorder.Results: Integrative lifestyle interventions were proposed to include motivational interviewing, addictions counseling, peer-led support, spiritual programs, exercise, and body-spirit-soul recovery. An educational client-centered approach was determined as vital for the success of remission of alcoholism throughout translational lifestyles. Diet considerations incorporated a 7-E-Rule (eliminate, exchange, equalize, enhance, eat, educate, and evaluate) process for nutrition practice.Conclusion: This review proposes an integrative, translational framework combining nutritional, lifestyle, and educational interventions to support personalized care and improve remission outcomes for individuals with alcohol use disorders in nutrition practice. Future research is necessary to refine these recommendations and evaluate their practical outcomes in diverse populations.

Taxonomy. Meriones arimalius Cheesman & Hinton, 1924,
Djebel Agoula, Yabrin (= Jabrin), Saudi Arabia.
Although synonymized with M. libycus by G. B. Corbet in 1978 and D. L. Harrison and P. J. J. Bates in 1991, M. arimalius was reaccorded species status on morphological grounds by C. F. Nadler and D. M. Lay in 1967, I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990, and G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005. No genetic data are yet available and, pending further revisions of genus, the taxon is retained as valid. Monotypic.
Distribution. C & SE Arabia (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Oman); distribution poorly known.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 132 mm, tail 163 mm, ear 18 mm, hindfoot 37 mm (type-specimen measurements only). No specific data available for body weight. The Arabian Jird is very pallid, with sandy-cream dorsum and pure white venter. Fur is short and thin. Tail is ivory to yellow in color, with a white tuft of hairs at end, and is longer than head-body length. As with the Libyan Jird (M. libycus), skull exhibits voluminous tympanic bullae with mastoid part inflated.
Habitat. Sand dunes of Great South Desert of Arabia with Arthrocnemum fruticosum (Amaranthaceae) bushes and soft white sands.
Food and Feeding. The Arabian Jird appears to feed exclusively on seeds of A. fruticosum bushes.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Arabian Jirds have been seen to be active during day, except during hottest hours (around midday). They are terrestrial, digging complex burrows.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Arabian Jirds are shy, and take refuge in burrows after one individual gives alarm call.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Despite its small area of distribution, the Arabian Jird is not considered threatened.

Meriones zarudnyi
French: Mérione de Zarudny / German: Zarudny-Rennratte / Spanish: Gerbillo de Zarudny
Taxonomy. Meriones zarudnyi Heptner, 1937,
Kushka, Turkmenistan.
Meriones zarudnyi was considered a race of M. crassus, but in 1967 D. M. Lay, after studying more specimens from Afghani- stan, described its characteristics as distinct from those of both M. crassus and M. tristrami. This opinion was later followed by G. B. Corbet in 1978 and I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990. Monotypic.
Distribution. NE Iran, S Turkmenistan, and N Afghanistan.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 155 mm, tail 160 mm, ear 20 mm, hindfoot 30 mm (single individual). No specific weight data are available. A large Jird with tail longer than head-body. Underbelly white. Upper part of the tail light gray and its lower part yellowish, the tuft ofthe tail is well developed and its proximal part is off-white in both the upper and lower areas and the extremity short, dark brown to maroon dark yellow. The sole of hindfootis hairy and the heel is bare.
Habitat. Not well known, but probably dry and arid habitats.
Food and Feeding. Zarudny’s Jird is probably omnivorous like other members of genus, with preference for seeds and plant material.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. Zarudny’s Jird is probably nocturnal and terrestrial, digging burrows.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List.

Cheng’s Jird
Meriones chengi
French: Mérione de Cheng / German: Cheng-Rennratte / Spanish: Gerbillo de Cheng
Other common names: Cheng's Gerbil
Taxonomy. Meriones chengi Wang Sung, 1964,
Turfan, Da-Ho-Yien, northern Xin-jiang, China.
According to I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990, M. chengi is a member of the M. meridianus species complex. It was separated on basis of morphological characters. Molecular study by M. Ito and colleagues in 2010 found M. chengi specimens collected from near type locality to be very close to M. meridianus individuals collected from southern regions; these authors suggested that M. chengi could be put in synonymy with one unnamed clade of M. meridianus. Similarly, Wang Ying and coworkers in 2013, adding also nuclear genes, found no substantial genetic differentiation between the two species and low genetic distances (0-42%), supporting synonymy of M. chengi and one clade of M. meridianus complex, as implied by Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990 and 1995. Both Ito’s 2010 team and Y. Wang and colleagues in 2013 found high divergence (interspecific level) among clades of M. meridianus but they did not agree in their number and did not propose names for them, nor provide details of the constitution of each. M. chengi is here retained as a valid species pending further morphological and taxonomic revision of the whole species complex. Monotypic.

Type material. Holotype, male(?): Panama, Chiriqui Prov, La Culebra Trail, 1750m, 3km N. Boquete, 9 Aug. 1995, AR Gillogly. Holotype deposited in TAMU.
Diagnosis. Interstriae 10 elevated to level of ventrite 2, interstriae 9 sharply elevated to apex; protibiae without additional mesal tooth. Male mandibles greatly enlarged. Closely related to S. montanus Jordal, but is much larger, nearly glabrous, punctures on pronotum much smaller, interstriae 9 is sharply raised for its entire length, and the posterior face of protibiae is lacking an additional mesal tooth.
Description male. Length 3.1 mm, 2.0 × longer than wide; colour reddish brown. Head. Eyes entire, separated above by 4.2 × their width. Frons convex, slightly impressed above epistoma, shiny, with scant, simple, hair-like setae. Antennal club with three clearly marked segments, the first two corneous. Funiculus 6-segmented. Pronotum smooth, shiny, densely punctured. Vestiture consisting of 8 erect setae (4–2–2). Elytra smooth, striae strongly impressed, punctures tiny, shallow, separated in regular rows by 2¯3 × their diameter, interspersed by smaller punctures of the same size as interstrial punctures; interstriae approximately 4 × wider than striae, punctures two-thirds the size of those in striae, mainly in rows, some intermixed with striae. Appears glabrous, but tiny strial and interstrial setae on declivity, some longer erect setae at apex and on interstriae 9. Legs. Procoxae separated by 1.3 × and mesocoxae 1.4 × the width of one procoxa. Protibiae broader towards apex, broadest at level of tooth 2, distal teeth 1 and 2 of equal length, tooth 2 with socketed denticle exposed, with 5¯6 tiny additional spines or granules along the edge towards base; protibial mucro very short and straight. Meso- and metatibiae with 7–8 lateral, socketed, thin teeth on distal half. Ventral vestiture. Setae on metasternum and metanepisternum simple.
Female. Not known.
Key (Wood 1982). Belongs to a unique group of Scolytodes not included in Wood’s (1982) key. With some uncertainty one may navigate to couplet 9, but this species is not close to S. plumeriae Wood.
Etymology. The name potens, a Latin noun (third declension) meaning strong or powerful, referring to the large size, stout body shape, and huge mandibles.
Biology and distribution. This species is only known from the type locality at medium altitude in Panama.

Tamarisk Jird
Meriones tamariscinus
French: Mérione des tamaris / German: Tamarisken-Rennratte / Spanish: Gerbillo de taraje
Other common names: Tamarisk Gerbil
Taxonomy. Mus tamariscinus Pallas, 1773,
Saraitschikowki (= Saraichik), Kazakhstan.
Originally described in genus Mus and then removed to Meriones (genus and sub- genus), M. tamariscinus was broadly revised by G. B. Corbet in 1978 and I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990 on morphological grounds. Molecular analysis by M. Ito and colleagues in 2010 found M. tamariscinus to represent a separate clade distinct from all other Meriones, Rhombomys, Psammomys,
and Brachiones, thus making genus Meriones paraphyletic; these authors did not, however, make any conclusive proposals on possible taxonomic change for M. tamariscinus clade and, pending more complete analyses,classic arrangementis retained. Monotypic.
Distribution. S European Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, N Afghanistan, NW China (Xinjiang, N Gansu, and W Inner Mongolia [= Nei Mongol]), and SW Mongolia.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 135-190 mm, tail 115-150 mm, ear 15-21 mm, hindfoot 32-39 mm; weight 60-180 g. A largejird, The TamariskJird has rusty-brown dorsal
pelage and pure white venter. Soles of hindfeet are hairy. Tail is bicolored, smaller than body length, and has no pencil at end.
Habitat. Deserts and semi-deserts with small bushes and grasslands, wadis, and saline marshes.
Food and Feeding. TamariskJirds are omnivorous, consuming vegetable matter,fruits, seeds, and insects. They will store food in burrows, and up to 4-5 kg of dry plants and seeds have been reported in some cases.
Breeding. Reproduction can take place during entire year, but is reduced during winter. Litter size is 1-8 (average 4-5) offspring.
Activity patterns. Nocturnal and terrestrial, the Tamarisk Jird digs burrows beneath tree roots and bushes. Burrows have several openings and can reach 6 m in length and 2:5 m in depth.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Tamarisk Jirds have a home range of around 1-2 km, and they are generally found in small family or colony groups with low population densities (20-30 ind/ha). They are not considered social rodents.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Tamarisk Jird is considered a pest of cereal fields, as well as of cultivations of melons and gourds.

description:
Background: Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), surface from complicated interactions between genetic and environmental factors. There’s new emerging evidence coming from genetic and nutritional studies demonstrating solid proof of nutrigenomic factors having a strong influence over the occurrence of AITD. Case reports have documented Ancestral dietary interventions in the reduction of AITD antibodies (Ab). This review summarizes the findings.Methods: Thyroid and immune system genes as well as their structures and nutritional components were researched to include candidate gene analysis, whole- genome linkage screening, genome-wide association studies, and whole-genome sequencing.Results: Twelve (12) genes were identified as conferring to genetic susceptibility in patients with AITD. Diet modalities were considered based on findings. Zinc was found to have a close relation with thyroid disease, increased genetic susceptibility to the development of AITD, the ability to reduce AITD Ab, and increase thyroid hormones. Amino acids were found to play a critical role in gene structure, mutation, and cell relationship. Vitamin C was found to be a key player involved in antioxidant processes and ability to decrease AITD Ab, while other nutrients (niacin) supported these mechanisms of genetic influence on AITD. Calorie restrictive diets were found to have a positive influence on AITD and reduce Ab.Conclusion: Nutrients such as zinc, amino acids, vitamin C, and niacin influence gene expression, mutation, and cellular function in AITD. These findings suggest that targeted nutritional and dietary interventions may modulate genetic susceptibility and Ab levels associated with AITD.

description: Ctenostylum Macquart, 1851: 140.
Type-species: C. rufum Macquart, 1851 (orig. des.).
This genus was originally comprised of C. rufum Macquart, 1851, described from one male specimen.
Soon after the original description the type-specimen was studied by Bigot (1882) who rectified the original description. McAlpine (1989) reported that the type of Ctenostylum rufum was lost and he described a male from Costa Rica but did not give a name to it. He did not evaluate variation between the two male specimens because Macquart’s description was not very detailed, the illustrations were innacurate and a series of specimens was not available.
Looking for ctenostylid specimens in the Amazon Basin we found one Ctenostylum specimen housed at MPEG. It was collected in Serra Norte, Carajás, Southeastern Pará state, and it appeard to be different from C. rufum according to Macquart’s original description and Bigot’s (1882) rectification, and different from the undescribed male from Costa Rica (McAlpine 1989). The two previously-known specimens are males and here we describe the first female of this genus. The arista of the female is very complex, with dendritic branching (Fig. 4), identical to females of other ctenostylid genera. but female tergite and sternite 7 (Fig. 8) are not fused, as is found in the remainder of the family(McAlpine 1989).
