Mosaic Evolution of Subterranean Mammals — Regression, Progression and Global Convergence
- C. G. Faulkes
- BiologyHeredity
- 1 April 2000
Levels of Selection in Evolution is the first book to provide an overview of the very diverse recent literature on these topics, which ultimately traces back to Haldane's nor Lewis' work, and will undoubtedly be a very useful resource for researchers in evolutionary biology.
Ecological constraints drive social evolution in the African mole–rats

- BiologyProceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 November 1997
The naked mole–rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is ancestral and divergent from the Damaraland mole– rat (Cryptomys damarensis), supporting previous findings that have suggested the multiple evolution of eusociality within the Bathyergidae.
Dominance and queen succession in captive colonies of the eusocial naked mole–rat, Heterocephalus glaber
- F. Clarke, C. G. Faulkes
- BiologyProceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 July 1997
The intense dominance–related aggression that accompanies reproductive succession in naked mole–rats provides empirical support for optimal skew theory.
A dispersive morph in the naked mole-rat
- M. O'Riain, J. Jarvis, C. G. Faulkes
- BiologyNature
- 18 April 1996
The discovery of a dispersal phenotype that may occasionally promote outbreeding in naked mole-rats is reported, suggesting that, although rare, a dispersive morph exists within Naked mole-rat colonies.
Telencephalic binding sites for oxytocin and social organization: A comparative study of eusocial naked mole‐rats and solitary cape mole‐rats

Findings indicate that NMRs exhibit a considerably greater level of oxytocin receptor (OTR) binding than CMRs in the: nucleus accumbens; indusium griseum; central, medial, and cortical amygdaloid nuclei; bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; and CA1 hippocampal subfield.
Micro‐ and macrogeographical genetic structure of colonies of naked mole‐rats Heterocephalus glaber
- C. G. Faulkes, D. Abbott, M. Bruford
- BiologyMolecular Ecology
- 1 July 1997
Family analysis of a hybrid captive colony of naked mole‐rats with increased levels of genetic variability using multilocus DNA fingerprinting gave results consistent with Mendelian inheritance, and has revealed for the first time that multiple paternity can occur.
Eusociality in African mole-rats: new insights from patterns of genetic relatedness in the Damaraland mole-rat (Cryptomys damarensis)
- T. Burland, N. Bennett, J. Jarvis, C. G. Faulkes
- BiologyProceedings of the Royal Society of London…

It is shown that most breeding pairs in wild colonies of the Damaraland mole–rat are indeed unrelated and variation in the mean colony relatedness among populations provides support both for the central role played by ecological constraints in cooperative breeding and for the suggestion that inbreeding in naked mole–rats is a response to extreme constraints on dispersal.
Social suppression of ovarian cyclicity in captive and wild colonies of naked mole-rats, Heterocephalus glaber.
- C. G. Faulkes, D. Abbott, J. Jarvis
- BiologyJournal of Reproduction and Fertility
- 1 March 1990
The results suggest that ovulation is suppressed in subordinate non-breeding female naked mole-rats in captive and wild colonies, and show that plasma LH concentrations are significantly lower in these non- breeding females.
Tracking Viral Evolution during a Disease Outbreak: the Rapid and Complete Selective Sweep of a Circovirus in the Endangered Echo Parakeet
- S. Kundu, C. G. Faulkes, J. Groombridge
- BiologyJournal of Virology
- 15 February 2012
The high evolutionary rate that is estimated shows how rapidly new variation can arise in BFDV and is consistent with recent results from other small single-stranded DNA viruses.
Intracolony aggression in the eusocial naked mole-rat, Heterocephalus glaber
- F. Clarke, C. G. Faulkes
- BiologyAnimal Behaviour
- 1 February 2001
Queen shoving may have several functions, depending on social context, in inhibiting reproduction in subordinates of both sexes, maintaining social order, and in inciting work-related behaviours in colony members, all of which ultimately increase the reproductive success of queens.
