Low resting metabolic rate (RMR) in subterranean rodents used to be considered as a physiological adaptation to cope with stresses of the belowground environment. In African mole-rats (Bathyergidae, Rodentia), RMR was reported to be independent of body mass.

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.

Spatial learning and memory in African mole-rats: The role of sociality and sex
Physiology & Behavior, 2009Spatial learning and memory is an important skill for the survival and fitness and may vary between the sexes depending on differences in space use. This is particularly true for animals that explore the subterranean niche as it is associated with high travelling costs.

Unusual cone and rod properties in subterranean African mole‐rats (Rodentia, Bathyergidae)
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2004AbstractWe have determined the presence of spectral cone types, and the population densities of cones and rods, in subterranean mole‐rats of the rodent family Bathyergidae, for which light and vision seems of little importance. Most mammals have two spectral cone types, a majority of middle‐ to long‐wave‐sensitive (L‐) cones, and a minority of short ...

Evolution
Abstract Eusociality, the highest level of social organization, is rare among vertebrates and is best exemplified by two African mole-rat species (Bathyergidae). The lifetime monogamy hypothesis suggests that monogamy enhances genetic relatedness within colonies, favoring the evolution of cooperative behaviors and eusociality.
