Biological rhythms are rhythmic fluctuations of biological functions that occur in almost all
organisms and on several time scales. These rhythms are generated endogenously and …

African mole-rats are a unique taxon of subterranean rodents that range in sociality from
solitary-dwelling species to two" eusocial" species, the Damaraland mole-rat and the naked …

Simple Summary The naked and Damaraland mole-rats are group-living, subterranean
mammals in which reproduction is distributed unequally among members of a social group …

The naked mole-rat of the family Bathyergidae has been the showpiece for ageing research
as they contradict the traditional understanding of the oxidative stress theory of ageing …

The aridity food‐distribution hypothesis (AFDH) maintains that ecological constraints and
foraging risks in arid environments curtail dispersal and promote the evolution of …

African mole-rats have provided great insight into mammalian evolution of sociality and
reproductive strategy. However, some species have not received attention, and these may …

Cooperative behaviour, sociality and reproductive suppression in African mole-rats have
been extensively studied. Nevertheless, endocrine correlates of some species of social mole …

Background We have studied sperm structure and motility in a eusocial rodent where
reproduction is typically restricted to a single male and behaviourally dominant queen …

The aridity food distribution hypothesis (AFDH) maintains that ecological constraints in arid
habitats curtail dispersal and promote the evolution of cooperative foraging social groups …

We report the discovery of intraspecific variation in both colony composition and patterns of
paternity in two populations of the social common mole‐rat Cryptomys hottentotus …
