		The naked mole-rat is arguably the closest that a mammal comes to behaving like social insects such as bees and termites, with large colonies and a behavioral and reproductive division of labor.
		As a family, the Bathyergidae represent a model system with which to study the evolution and maintenance of highly social cooperative breeding strategies.
		They explore the role of these factors in the evolution of sociality in the Bathyergidae in the context of both vertebrates and invertebrates.

	Ecology Of Sociality In Rodents: A Ctenomyid Perspective - Science - RedOrbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		For the past 2 decades, efforts to understand the ecological factors associated with group living in rodents have focused on subterranean taxa, in particular African mole-rats of the family Bathyergidae.
		Comparative analyses of the habitats occupied by solitary and social bathyergids suggest that group living occurs when the combined effects of sporadic rainfall, hard soils, and patchily distributed food resources render energetic costs of burrow excavation prohibitive for lone individuals.
		Outside of the Bathyergidae, group living has been suggested for only 6 of the more than 120 species of rodents typically recognized as subterranean (Lacey 2000).

	Pictures of the naked mole rat\|Heterocephalus glaber facts
		The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is a small, hairless rodent in the family bathyergidae.
		A naked mole rat, Heterocephalus glaber, is a hystricomorphic small rodent that lives in subterranean permission granted by Smithsonian and Friends burrows of arid East African nations such Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia.
		The African Bathyergidae (Bennett and Faulkes 2000; Jarvis and Bennett 1991), the family that includes the most social of all known rodents, the eusocial naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber), is one of the very few tropical families that has been studied extensively (Jarvis and Bennett 1991).

		Among these highly specialised mammals, which spend most of their life in extensive underground burrow systems, the African mole-rats (Bathyergidae, Rodentia) is my favourite group.
		These rodents have become one of the most interesting subjects of the study in many fields of zoology.

	The Truth about Mole-Rats - National Zoo\| FONZ
		Despite the fact that they burrow underground like moles and have rat-like tails, naked mole-rats are in fact neither moles nor rats.
		The majority of the species referred to as mole-rats belong instead to the family Bathyergidae and are more closely related to porcupines, chinchillas, and guinea pigs than to their namesakes.
		Mole-rats of the family Bathyergidae are endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, where they can be found just about anywhere there are plants with large underground roots and tubers—the staple of mole-rats’ diet.

		After Edwards returned to college, he switched his major to biology and joined a laboratory conducting research in molecular systematics of mammals.
		There he contributed to a project investigating relationships in the African mole rat family Bathyergidae.
		During 1986 and 1987, Edwards spent four months volunteering for a study on birds of paradise in Papua New Guinea, after which he conducted his own field research in Australia.

	The Naked Mole Rat
		Therefore, naked mole-rats do benefit by remaining in their family nests, creating a eusocial society.
		The common ancestor (Bathyergidae) of the mole rats was probably solitary, given that most subterranean mammals are, but there is some argument over this.
		The trait of being social could just as easily have been lost in many of the modern day species that are solitary.
