Dispersal and new colony formation in wild naked mole-rats: evidence against inbreeding as the system of mating
S Braude - Behavioral Ecology, 2000 - academic.oup.com
Early field work on naked mole-rats, Heterocephalus glaber, suggested that small colonies
are rare and that colonies can only form by fissioning of existing colonies. Many researchers …
