Phylogeographical patterns of genetic divergence and speciation in African mole‐rats (Family: Bathyergidae)

Molecular Ecology, 2004
AbstractAfrican mole‐rats are subterranean Hystricomorph rodents, distributed widely throughout sub‐Saharan Africa, and displaying a range of social and reproductive strategies from solitary dwelling to the ‘insect‐like’ sociality of the naked mole‐rat, Heterocephalus glaber.

Sensory Systems of the African Naked Mole-Rat

2021
Naked 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 ...

The Somatosensory World of the African Naked Mole-Rat

2021
The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is famous for its longevity and unusual physiology. This eusocial species that lives in highly ordered and hierarchical colonies with a single breeding queen, also discovered secrets enabling somewhat pain-free living around 20 million years ago.

Social Evolution in African Mole-Rats – A Comparative Overview

2021
The 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.

Fractal dimension of African mole-rat burrows

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2002
The 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

2021
Naked 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.
