Evolution of circadian genes PER and CRY in subterranean rodents

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018
There is considerable interest in examining how circadian rhythms function and evolve in subterranean rodents that spend its entire life in underground, darkness environments. Here, we investigated the evolution of PER and CRY genes that are important for mammalian biological clocks in the subterranean rodents.

Two mitochondrial genes under episodic positive selection in subterranean octodontoid rodents

Gene, 2014
Tuco-tucos (Ctenomys) and related coruros (Spalacopus) are South American subterranean rodents. An energetically demanding lifestyle within the hypoxic, underground atmosphere may change the selective regime on oxidative phosphorylation. We examined whether weak and/or episodic positive directional selection affected the evolution of two mitochondrial ...

Vibrational Communication in Subterranean Rodents

Evolution of Communication, 1998
Here we discuss different factors that could influence the development of vocal and/or seismic communicative channels in subterranean rodents. We suggest that: 1) Highly social subterranean rodents that do not leave their burrows use essentially vocal signals in the vibrational channel; 2) Solitary and almost permanently fossorial species use vocal ...

Odours underground: subterranean rodents may not forage "blindly"

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2002
Subterranean rodents were thought to forage underground for edible roots and bulbs without the benefit of any sensory cues. Subterranean rodents representing four genera from three families (East-Mediterranean Spalax, African Cryptomys and Heterocephalus, and South American Spalacopus), tested in T-mazes filled with soil in which edible plants either ...

Acoustic Communication in Subterranean Rodents

2007
Why study acoustic communication? And why in subterranean rodents? There are several reasons for studying acoustic communication in this particular group of mammals. First, acoustic communication is of great importance to the organization of animal societies.

A Radio-Tracking System for Subterranean Rodents

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1989
Utilisation de deux sortes de colliers equipes d' emetteur radio pour suivre les deplacements de Spalax ehrenbergi dans son habitat naturel.Le signal est capte sur un rayon de 30 a 100m et il permet de suivre l'animal jusqu'au centre de son territoire sans perturber son comportement.Le collier ou le poids de l'emetteur est reparti de chaque cote de l ...

Subterranean Rodents: News from Underground

2007
Across the globe, in all continents but Australia and Antarctica, at least 250 extant rodent species (38 genera, 6 families – according to the classification applied) spend most of their lives in self-constructed burrows (Table 1.1, Fig. 1.1). Their subterranean ecotope is dark, microclimatically stable, hypoxic and hypercapnic, and deprived of most ...

Sensory Ecology of Subterranean Rodents

2007
Ever since Dusenbery’s seminal monograph published in 1992, sensory ecology has been defined as the study of how organisms acquire and respond to information. Hence, in contrast to classical ecology with its focus on energy flows, sensory ecology deals with information flows (Dusenbery 1992).
