Journal ArticleDOI
Are naked and common mole-rats eusocial and if so, why?
TL;DR: It is argued that eusociality in mole-rats evolved from a monogamous mating system where cooperative brood care was already established, and a tendency for group living is considered to be an ancestral (plesiomorph) trait among African bathyergid mole- rats, linking them to other hystricognath rodents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic alignment in grazing and resting cattle and deer
TL;DR: The magnetic alignment in large mammals based on statistically sufficient sample sizes is revealed and open horizons for the study of magnetoreception in general and are of potential significance for applied ethology (husbandry, animal welfare).
Journal ArticleDOI
A Magnetic Polarity Compass for Direction Finding in a Subterranean Mammal
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that these subterranean mole-rats housed in a circular arena prefer to build their nests in its southeastern sector, and that they change their directional preference if the magnetic field is shifted by means of Helmholtz coils.
Book ChapterDOI
Subterranean Rodents: News from Underground
TL;DR: In the literature, a continuum exists between fossorial and subterranean rodents, and in the present volume a categorical differentiation is mostly ignored on purpose as mentioned in this paper, and the authors also encouraged the authors to glance at recent findings from studies on other subterraneanmammals, and hope that the reader will profit from this.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic compass orientation in the subterranean rodent Cryptomys hottentotus (Bathyergidae).
TL;DR: To test whether mole-ratsCryptomys hottentotus were able to use the magnetic field for orientation, laboratory experiments were conducted which were based on the animals' spontaneous tendency to build their nests at the same position in a circular arena, showing that they can use the Magnetic field for direction finding.
