Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B, Biological Sciences, 2004 African mole-rats are a family of rodents exhibiting an eclectic range of social behaviour and occupying a variety of habitat types. These differences are likely to impact upon the risk of parasite transmission and virulence, with increasing sociality ...

Sensory Systems of the African Naked Mole-Rat
2021Naked mole-rats share some sensory characteristics with other subterraneans, including lack of object vision, retention of the ability to entrain their circadian rhythm to light, and poor hearing. On the other hand, a characteristic that may be specialized in the naked mole-rat is their exquisite orienting responses to the touch of even a single body ...

Social Evolution in African Mole-Rats – A Comparative Overview
2021The African mole-rat superfamily are a unique group of subterranean rodents that are remarkable for their adaptations to a subterranean lifestyle and their range in sociality, spanning strictly solitary species to the naked mole-rat, the most social of all rodents.

Chromosomal phylogeny and evolution of the African mole-rats (Bathyergidae)
Chromosome Research, 2008The subterranean African mole-rats (Family Bathyergidae) show considerable variation in their diploid numbers, but there is limited understanding of the events that shaped the extant karyotypes. Here we investigate chromosomal evolution in specimens representative of six genera and an outgroup species, the cane rat Thryonomys swinderianus, using flow ...

Fractal dimension of African mole-rat burrows
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2002The African mole-rats (Bathyergidae) are a model taxon on which to test evolutionary theories of the origin and maintenance of mammalian social behaviour, since species within the family range in social complexity from solitary to eusocial. The aridity food-distribution hypothesis suggests that sociality within the Bathyergidae has evolved as a ...

African Naked Mole-Rats Demonstrate Extreme Tolerance to Hypoxia and Hypercapnia
2021Naked mole-rats are extremely tolerant to low concentrations of oxygen (hypoxia) and high concentrations of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia), which is consistent with the environment that they inhabit. Naked mole-rats combine subterranean living with living in very densely populated colonies where oxygen becomes depleted and carbon dioxide accumulates.
