Hart D, Bennett N, Best C, van Jaarsveld B, Cheng H, Ivy C, et al.
Gen Comp Endocrinol . 2023 Apr; 339:114294. PMID: 37120097
Hypoxemia from exposure to intermittent and/or acute environmental hypoxia (lower oxygen concentration) is a severe stressor for many animal species. The response to hypoxia of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA-axis), which...

Sahd L, Doubell N, Bennett N, Kotze S
J Morphol . 2023 Jan; 284(3):e21557. PMID: 36630620
The scratch-digging Cape dune mole-rat (Bathyergus suillus), and the chisel-toothed digging naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) are African mole-rats that differ in their digging strategy. The aim of this study was...

Wallace K, Hart D, Hagenah N, Ganswindt A, Bennett N
Gen Comp Endocrinol . 2022 Dec; 333:114194. PMID: 36538992
In species where sociality and group cohesion are primarily determined by the maintenance of a reproductive division of labour and cooperative behaviours, the eusocial Damaraland mole-rat (Fukomys damarensis) presents a...

Jacobs P, Hart D, Merchant H, Janse van Vuuren A, Faulkes C, Portugal S, et al.
Antioxidants (Basel) . 2022 Nov; 11(11). PMID: 36421476
Climate change has caused aridification which can alter habitat vegetation, soil and precipitation profiles potentially affecting resident species. Vegetation and soil profiles are important for subterranean mole-rats as increasing aridity...

Bennett N, Faulkes C, Voigt C
Animals (Basel) . 2022 Nov; 12(21). PMID: 36359164
The naked mole-rat () and the Damaraland mole-rat () possess extreme reproductive skew with a single reproductive female responsible for reproduction. In this review, we synthesize advances made into African...

Montoya-Sanhueza G, Saffa G, Sumbera R, Chinsamy A, Jarvis J, Bennett N
Commun Biol . 2022 Jun; 5(1):526. PMID: 35650336
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 still poorly...

Gilbert J, Rossiter S, Bennett N, Faulkes C
Horm Behav . 2022 May; 143:105196. PMID: 35597054
Despite decades of research into the evolutionary drivers of sociality, we know relatively little about the underlying proximate mechanisms. Here we investigate the potential role of prolactin in the highly...

Kamgang V, Bennett N, van der Goot A, Majelantle T, Ganswindt A
Gen Comp Endocrinol . 2022 May; 325:114052. PMID: 35568230
Populations of roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) in southern Africa have experienced a drastic decline over the past few decades and this situation has led to the development of intensive breeding...

Begay V, Cirovic B, Barker A, Klopfleisch R, Hart D, Bennett N, et al.
Open Biol . 2022 Apr; 12(4):210292. PMID: 35382566
Naked mole-rats (NM-R; ) live in multi-generational colonies with a social hierarchy, and show low cancer incidence and long life-spans. Here we asked if an immune component might underlie such...
