Subterranean Life-Style Does Not Limit Long Distance Dispersal in African Mole-Rats
Dispersal from the natal site to breeding sites is a crucial phase in the life history of animals and can have profound effects on the reproductive ecology and the structure of animal societies. However, few studies have assessed dispersal dynamics in subterranean mammals and it is unknown whether d...
