Cultural transmission of vocal dialect in the naked mole-rat

چکیده

The queen's chirp rules Naked mole-rats are known for their eusocial lifestyle, living in colonies that consist of many workers and a single breeding queen. Little is about how individuals within these navigate the interactions must occur such complex cooperative group. Barker et al. show calls emitted by individuals, particular common “chirp” call, convey information specific to animal's group (see Perspective Buffenstein). Group differences cultural, rather than genetic, related queen: Cross-fostered pups adopt rearing colony's dialects, dialects change with queen replacement.

Naked mole-rat

It’s a mammal Jim, but not as we know it... Mammals are typically characterised as furry and warmblooded. The naked mole-rat is neither of these. Being underground and surrounded by hundreds of brothers and sisters, there is little fluctuation in surrounding temperature and they have all but lost the ability to regulate their body temperature physiologically. Living in the dark, they can no lon...

Genome Stability Maintenance in Naked Mole-Rat

The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is one of the most promising models used to study genome maintenance systems, including the effective repair of damage to DNA. The naked mole-rat is the longest lived rodent species, which is extraordinarily resistant to cancer and has a number of other unique phenotypic traits. For at least 80% of its lifespan, this animal shows no signs of aging or a...

Functional Characteristics of the Naked Mole Rat μ-Opioid Receptor

While humans and most animals respond to µ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists with analgesia and decreased aggression, in the naked mole rat (NMR) opioids induce hyperalgesia and severe aggression. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) can underlie altered behavioral responses to opioids. Therefore, we hypothesized that the primary structure of the NMR MOR may...

Central visual system of the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber).

Naked mole-rats are fossorial rodents native to eastern Africa that spend their lives in extensive subterranean burrows where visual cues are poor. Not surprisingly, they have a degenerated eye and optic nerve, suggesting they have poor visual abilities. However, little is known about their central visual system. To investigate the organization of their central visual system, we injected a neur...
