Burrow architecture of the Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis) from South Africa

Thomas, Hannah Grace; Swanepoel, Daniel; Bennett, Nigel Charles (Taylor and Francis and NISC (Pty) Ltd, 2016-04)

The burrow architecture (length, internal dimensions, fractal dimension of tunnel systems, number of nesting chambers and surface mounds) was investigated in the Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis). A total of 31 ...
Seasonal changes in burrow geometry of the common mole rat (Rodentia: Bathyergidae)

Thomas, Hannah Grace; Scantlebury, Michael; Swanepoel, Daniel; Bateman, Philip W.; Bennett, Nigel Charles (2013-11)

Sociality in mole rats has been suggested to have evolved as a response to the widely dispersed food resources and the limited burrowing opportunities that result from sporadic rainfall events. In the most arid regions, ...
Seasonal effects on digging activity and burrow architecture in the Cape dune mole-rat, Bathyergus suillus (Rodentia : Bathyergidae)

Thomas, Hannah Grace; Bateman, Philip W.; Scantlebury, Michael; Bennett, Nigel Charles (Zoological Society of Southern Africa, 2012-11)

Most polygynous male mammals exhibit little or no parental care or involvement raising young. Instead, they invest indirectly in their own morphological and physiological attributes which enhance their chance of reproduction. ...
