Seasonal changes in burrow geometry of the common mole rat (Rodentia: Bathyergidae)
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, individual foraging efficiency is reduced and energetic constraints increase. In...
