 J Reproduction and Fertility 1999 Manuscript Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Since moles are closely related to shrews, the gametes and reproductive tracts of the star-nose mole (Condylura cristata) and the eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus) were examined to gain further insight into unusual reproductive traits of the Soricidae.
The cumulus oophorus of Scalopus, ovulated about 16 h after hCG injection, was largely dispersed by hyaluronidase and, though quite dense, was nevertheless more similar to that of higher mammals than to the compact 'ball' of the soricid cumulus.
Perhaps allied to this, immunoblots indicated that the immunoreactive acrosomal matrix of Scalopus spermatozoa is simpler than the polypeptide complex of the bovine and hamster acrosomal matrix.

This size variation occurs on a gradient with the largest animals in the northeast and the smallest in the southwest.
When they burrow, these moles essentially "dive" into the earth; they first thrust their forefeet into the soil and then follow with the head and body as they rotate their forelimbs and pull the loosened dirt backwards.

 Estimating population density of moles Scalopus aquaticus using assessment lines
Density was estimated for three populations of eastern moles Scalopus aquaticus Linnaeus, 1758, in South Carolina using a trapping grid and assessment lines.
The analytical methods used in the present study eliminate the concepts of boundary strip width (strict sense) and the occurrence of distinctive zones with constant capture probabilities, and as such, represent important conceptual improvements of the assessment line density estimation method.
