    Los jerbos de Mongolia son roedores utilizados como excelente modelo biológico. A pesar de esto, su clasificación como especie diurna, nocturna o crepuscular no ha sido clara. Los experimentos que se presentan en este artículo evaluaron patrones de alimentación, sueño-actividad y actividad reproductiva y copulativa en condiciones de luz/oscuridad 12:12 en Jerbos de Mongolia. Los resultados de los experimentos sugieren un patrón nocturno de comportamiento en estos roedores.

    Mongolian Gerbils are often used as a biological model, but it remains unclear whether these rodents display nocturnal, diurnal, or crepuscular patterns of behavior. The experiments presented below studied patterns of sleep-activity, feeding, and reproductive behavior under 12:12 light dark cycles. All data from these experiments suggest a nocturnal pattern of behavior in these rodents.
