Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 14, Page 7377-7388, July 2020., 2020 We download and evaluate the whole genome of subterranean mammals, and study the mechanisms of adaptative evolution to underground stresses of subterranean mammals through comparative genomics. Abstract Life underground has provided remarkable examples of adaptive evolution in subterranean mammals; however, genome‐wide adaptive evolution to underground

Relic populations of Fukomys mole-rats in Tanzania: description of two new species F. livingstoni sp. nov. and F. hanangensis sp. nov. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Previous studies of African mole-rats of the genera Heliophobius and Fukomys (Bathyergidae) in the regions of East and south central Africa have revealed a diversity of species and vicariant populations, with patterns of distribution having been ...

Surfacing the deep data of taxonomy [PDF]
, 2016 Taxonomic databases are perpetuating approaches to citing literature that may have been appropriate before the Internet, often being little more than digitised 5 × 3 index cards.

Reactions of Cryptomys Hottentotus to Water (Rodentia: Bathyergidae) [PDF]
Zoologica Africana, 1978 Mortalities did not result from the escape of mole-rats from flooded burrows; and under laboratory testing, Cryptomys hottentotus was not hesitant to enter water. Swimming motions were coordinated and effective, enabling animals to swim for up to 14 minutes.

Long-lived rodents reveal signatures of positive selection in genes associated with lifespan. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 The genetics of lifespan determination is poorly understood. Most research has been done on short-lived animals and it is unclear if these insights can be transferred to long-lived mammals like humans.
