Maximální metabolismus u rypošovitých (Bathyergidae)
2023Maximal metabolic rate of mole-rats (Bathyergidae) was studied in five species bred in captivity in Faculty of Science. For each species resting and maximal metabolic rate were measured and compared with digging metabolic rate in mole-rats and maximal metabolic rate of rodends with similar body mass and ecology.

Thermoregulation in the Subterranean Rodent Georychus capensis (Rodentia: Bathyergidae)
Physiological Zoology, 1987Thermoregulation of the mesic-habitat Cape mole rat, Georychus capensis (mean mass 193 g), was investigated, and the data was used to test the hypothesis that exceptionally low mass-specific rates of metabolism are common to the arid-habitat subterranean rodents only. The mean body temperature was 36.4 C, resting metabolic rate was 68% of that expected

The karyotype and taxonomie status ofCryptomys hottentotus dartingi(Rodentia: Bathyergidae)
South African Journal of Zoology, 1993Cytogenetic analyses were performed on twenty specimens referable to Cryptomys hottentotus darling! from north eastern Zimbabwe. In comparison to the southern subspecies C. h. hottentotus (aFN = 102) and C. h. natalensis (aFN = 100), C. h. darHngi showed the same diploid number (2n = 54), but a striking reduction in the fundamental number (aFN = 80). C-

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.

The energetics of sociality in the molerats (Bathyergidae)
1987Primarily, this thesis attempts to resolve the debate concerning the factors selecting for the characteristic physiological traits of subterranean rodents. It also isolates the the probable causes of eusociality within the molerats (Bathyergidae).

Zrakové schopnosti afrických podzemních hlodavců čeledi Bathyergidae.
2012This bachelor thesis deals with visual ecology in subterranean mammals and possible behavioral visual tests in African mole-rats (Bathyergidae). It provides first results on visual depth perception testing in these strictly subterranean rodents. The depth perception was examined in three species of mole-rats (Heliophobius argeteocinereus, Fukomys ...
