Social Behavior in Naked Mole-Rats: Individual Differences in Phenotype and Proximate Mechanisms of Mammalian Eusociality.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2021

Holmes Melissa M, Goldman Bruce D

Abstract excerpt

Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) are small rodents native to east Africa, living in subterranean colonies of up to 300 individuals. Within each colony, reproduction is restricted to a single breeding female and 1-3 breeding males; all other colony members are reproductively suppressed and socially subordinate unless removed from the suppressive cues of the colony. Due to their striking reproductive skew,...
