https://www.europesays.com/dk/157834/ In 2021, Berlin teams studied 166 naked mole-rats and found they recognised colony-specific vocal dialects; cross-fostered pups learned the dialect of their new colony #AnimalCommunication #berlin #CulturalBehavior #Germany #NakedMoleRats #SocialStructuresInAnimals #VocalDialects

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐭🧪 Naked mole-rat queens secrete a chemical called isopropyl myristate that suppresses fertility in rivals.

Researchers in #Berlin found the compound, which remains stable on tunnel surfaces for roughly 24 hours, works as a non violent alternative to bullying. The scent alone prevented breeding and colony takeovers even when the #queen was removed.

What can molecules in #ants and #nakedMoleRats tell us about societal roles?
Penn's Shelley Berger and colleagues explored the genetic basis of labor distribution in communal-dwelling species and discovered that pathways dating back hundreds of millions of years are conserved across animal kingdoms.

I love naked mole rats. They exemplify communal control of individual physiology, they are social, very ugly and live long for their size and some of this, improbably may be due to a giant polysaccharide. #nakedmolerats #aging
