Hypoxia is one of the strongest environmental drivers of cellular and physiological
adaptation. Although most mammals are largely intolerant of hypoxia, some specialized …

Naked mole-rats (NMRs, Heterocephalus glaber) are the longest-lived rodents with a
maximum life span exceeding 37 years. They exhibit a delayed aging phenotype and …

Naked mole-rats are among the most hypoxia-tolerant mammals. During hypoxia, their body
temperature (T b) decreases via unknown mechanisms to conserve energy. In small …

Naked mole‐rats express many unusual traits for such a small rodent. Their morphology,
social behaviour, physiology, and ageing have been well studied over the past half‐century …

The subterranean-dwelling naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is an extremophilic
rodent, able to thrive in the harsh underground conditions of sub-Saharan Northeast Africa …

The evolution of endothermy in vertebrates is a major research topic in recent decades that
has been tackled by a myriad of research disciplines including paleontology, anatomy …

Aims Burrowing mammals tend to be more hypoxia tolerant than non‐burrowing mammals
and rely less on increases in ventilation and more on decreases in metabolic rate to tolerate …

Differences in individual locomotor activity patterns may be linked to a number of ecological
factors, such as changes in ambient temperature or photoperiod. Observations on …

The doubly labeled water (DLW) technique and indirect calorimetry enable measurement of
an animal's daily energy expenditure (DEE, kJ/day), resting metabolic rate (RMR, kJ/d) …

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 …
