  • Amplification of potential thermogenetic mechanisms in cetacean brains compared to artiodactyl brains 
    Manger, Paul R.; Patzke, Nina; Spocter, Muhammad A.; Bhagwandin, Adhil; Karlsson, Karl Æ.; Bertelsen, Mads F.; Alagaili, Abdulaziz N.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Mohammed, Osama B.; Herculano‑Houzel, Suzana; Hof, Patrick R.; Fuxe, Kjell (Nature Research, 2021-03-09)
    To elucidate factors underlying the evolution of large brains in cetaceans, we examined 16 brains from 14 cetartiodactyl species, with immunohistochemical techniques, for evidence of non-shivering thermogenesis. We show ...
  • Dental development and first premolar homology in placental mammals 
    McKay, Calum J.; Welbourn-Green, Claudia; Seiffert, Erik R.; Sallam, Hesham; Li, Jessica; Kakarala, Sophia E.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Asher, Robert J. (Pensoft Publishers, 2022-05-20)
    Macroscelidid afrotherians and canid carnivorans possess four premolar loci, the first of which is not replaced. Previous work suggests that the first premolar in macroscelidids is a retained deciduous tooth, but in Canis ...
  • Fossorial adaptations in African mole-rats (Bathyergidae) and the unique appendicular phenotype of naked mole-rats 
    Montoya-Sanhueza, German; Saffa, Gabriel; Sumbera, Radim; Chinsamy, Anusuya; Jarvis, Jennifer U.M.; Bennett, Nigel Charles (Nature Research, 2022-06-01)
    Life underground has constrained the evolution of subterranean mammals to maximize digging performance. However, the mechanisms modulating morphological change and development of fossorial adaptations in such taxa are ...
  • Heat dissipation in subterranean rodents : the role of body region and social organisation 
    Vejmelka, Frantisek; Okrouhlík, Jan; Lovy, Matej; Safa, Gabriel; Nevo, Eviatar; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Sumbera, Radim (Nature Research, 2021-01)
    The relatively warm and very humid environment of burrows presents a challenge for thermoregulation of its mammalian inhabitants. It was found that African mole-rats dissipate body heat mainly through their venter, and ...
  • How hornbills handle heat : sex-specific thermoregulation in the southern yellow-billed hornbill 
    Van Jaarsveld, Barry; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Czenze, Zenon J.; Kemp, Ryno; Van de Ven, Tanja M.F.N.; Cunningham, Susan J.; McKechnie, Andrew E. (Company of Biologists, 2021-02)
    At a global scale, thermal physiology is correlated with climatic variables such as temperature and aridity. There is also evidence that thermoregulatory traits vary with fine-scale microclimate, but this has received ...
  • Naked mole-rat brown fat thermogenesis is diminished during hypoxia through a rapid decrease in UCP1 
    Cheng, Hang; Sebaa, Rajaa; Malholtra, Nikita; Lacoste, Baptiste; El Hankouri, Ziyad; Kirby, Alexia; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Van Jaarsveld, Barry; Hart, Daniel William; Tattersall, Glenn J.; Harper, Mary-Ellen; Pamenter, Matthew E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2021-11-23)
    Naked mole-rats are among the most hypoxia-tolerant mammals. During hypoxia, their body temperature (Tb) decreases via unknown mechanisms to conserve energy. In small mammals, non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose ...
  • The naked truth : a comprehensive clarification and classification of current ‘myths’ in naked mole-rat biology 
    Buffenstein, Rochelle; Amoroso, Vincent; Andziak, Blazej; Avdieiev, Stanislav; Azpurua, Jorge; Barker, Alison J.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Brieno-Enriquez, Miguel A.; Bronner, Gary N.; Coen, Clive; Delaney, Martha A.; Dengler-Crish, Christine M.; Edrey, Yael H.; Faulkes, Christopher G.; Frankel, Daniel; Friedlander, Gerard; Gibney, Patrick A.; Gorbunova, Vera; Hine, Christopher; Holmes, Melissa M.; Jarvis, Jennifer U. M.; Kawamura, Yoshimi; Kutsukake, Nobuyuki; Kenyon, Cynthia; Khaled, Walid T.; Kikusui, Takefumi; Kissil, Joseph; Lagestee, Samantha; Larson, John; Lauer, Amanda; Lavrenchenko, Leonid A.; Lee, Angela; Levitt, Jonathan B.; Lewin, Gary R.; Hardell, Kaitlyn N. Lewis; Lin, TzuHua D.; Mason, Matthew J.; McCloskey, Dan; McMahon, Mary; Miura, Kyoko; Mogi, Kazutaka; Narayan, Vikram; O’Connor, Timothy P.; Okanoya, Kazuo; O’Riain, M. Justin; Park, Thomas J.; Place, Ned J.; Podshivalova, Katie; Pamenter, Matthew E.; Pyott, Sonja J.; Reznick, Jane; Ruby, J. Graham; Salmon, Adam B.; Santos-Sacchi, Joseph; Sarko, Diana K.; Seluanov, Andrei; Shepard, Alyssa; Smith, Megan; Storey, Kenneth B.; Tian, Xiao; Vice, Emily N.; Viltard, Mélanie; Watarai, Akiyuki; Wywial, Ewa; Yamakawa, Masanori; Zemlemerova, Elena D.; Zions, Michael; St. John Smith, Ewan (Wiley, 2022-02)
    The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) has fascinated zoologists for at least half a century. It has also generated considerable biomedical interest not only because of its extraordinary longevity, but also because ...
  • Parasite-mediated mate preferences in a cooperatively breeding rodent 
    Lutermann, Heike; Butler, Kemba B.; Bennett, Nigel Charles (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-03-03)
    Females of many species discriminate among males when choosing a mate and this can bear indirect and direct benefits including the avoidance of parasite transmission from infested males. In rodents, this may be mediated ...
  • Seasonal changes in locomotor activity patterns of wild social Natal mole-rats (Cryptomys hottentotus natalensis) 
    Finn, Kyle T.; Janse van Vuuren, Andries Koch; Hart, Daniel William; Suess, Tobias; Zottl, Markus; Bennett, Nigel Charles (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-02-11)
    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 subterranean mammals suggest that they exhibit ...
  • Social stress is unlikely to play a major role in reproductive suppression of female subordinate naked mole-rats and Damaraland mole-rats 
    Hart, Daniel William; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Voigt, Cornelia (The Royal Society, 2022-10)
    Medger [1] reviewed the mechanisms of reproductive suppression in two eusocial mole-rat species, the naked (Heterocephalus glaber) and Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis) with a focus on the interplay of stress, ...
  • Socially induced infertility in naked and Damaraland mole-rats : a tale of two mechanisms of social suppression 
    Bennett, Nigel Charles; Faulkes, Christopher G.; Voigt, Cornelia (MDPI, 2022-11-04)
    The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) and the Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis) possess extreme reproductive skew with a single reproductive female responsible for reproduction. In this review, we synthesize ...
