Humans and a subterranean rodent have contrasting biological rhythms
2023AbstractHere we show that naked mole rats (NMR’s) have an extraordinary survival advantage. We base this statement on a spectral analysis of the time series of measured intervals in teeth of 3 species (NMR’s, Killer Whale, and Modern Humans). We used Fourier decomposition to analyze the variability of these intervals.

Vocal Repertoire of a Subterranean Rodent (Spalax)
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974Mole rats (Spalax ehrenbergi) are blind, normally solitary, subterranean rodents found in southeast Europe and throughout the Middle East. Animals in Israel were captured in their burrows and maintained in laboratory cages for direct observation. They were found to be highly vocal, especially during physical encounters with each other.

Surprisingly low risk of overheating during digging in two subterranean rodents
Physiology & Behavior, 2015Capacities for and constraints of heat dissipation are considered to be important factors governing maximum intensity and duration of physical activity. Subterranean mammals are endurance diggers, but because of lack of air currents in their burrows, high relative humidity and other physical constraints, the capacity of common mammalian cooling ...

Vibrational communication of subterranean rodents
2012This PhD. thesis focuses on the vibrational communication of subterranean mammals, in particular, vocal communication of bathyergids (Heliophobius argenteocinereus, Fukomys mechowii, Fukomys darlingi) and seismic communication of Tachyoryctes. We recorded and analyzed the vocalization of three species and discussed the physical parameters of their ...

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 Influence of Subterranean Rodents on the Environment
2007The impact of subterranean rodents can be arrayed along several axes, including their direct influence on plants and plant communities, their role in altering the physical environment and their effect on human dominated systems. In all of these situations their presence is obscured by the dense, opaque medium of the soil.

New Data on Metabolic Parameters in Subterranean Rodents
2007As a result of similar environmental pressures (cf. Burda et al., this volume), subterranean rodents share a variety of convergent physiological specializations such as low basal metabolic rate, low body temperature and high thermal conductance (reviewed, e.g. by Contreras and McNab 1990; Nevo 1999; Buffenstein 2000).
