The blind mole rats (Spalacinae) reveal fascinating chromosomal variation, resulting from
complex karyotype re-arrangements. This variation occurs between species, between …

RESULTS: Systematics and Taxonomy. By means of molecular biological methods targeting
the sequences of mitochondrial genes we conclude that five species of blind mole-rats …

Simple Summary Cryptic species, hidden by morphological uniformity, represent a
significant part of the diversity in some taxonomic groups, and pose a real challenge for …

Our study incorporates high-resolution, multivariate ecological niche modeling (ENM) to test
whether two putative state-threatened mussel species in East Texas (Fusconaia askewi and …

Mole rats are exclusively subterranean and highly specialized rodents. Their long lifespans,
remarkable anti-cancer mechanisms, and various distinctive adaptive features make them a …

Large-bodied mole rats (Spalax) are a speciosus genus among obligate subterranean
rodents, with seven currently recognized species, ranging from the Carpathians to the North …

As a result of their rather uniform external appearance and gross cranial morphology, the
systematics of blind mole rats has been hotly debated over the last century; however, the …

We present the karyotype characteristics of five cytotypes of mole rats (Nannospalax) with 56
chromosomes revealed by the C‐banding and AgNOR staining analyses. We attempt to …

Being totally blind with no tail or pinnae, blind mole rats are the most specialised rodents for
the subterranean lifestyle. However, they come to the surface occasionally due to unusual …

Two cytotypes (2n= 36 and 38) of blind mole rats, Nannospalax xanthodon (Nordmann,
1840), from the Aydın and Manisa provinces in Turkey were investigated. Conventional …
