What determines the way of deposition of excavated soil in a subterranean rodent?
Original language description
Subterranean rodents continuously extend their burrow systems primarily in search of food, which has an important impact on the ecosystem in which they live. Excavated soil may be pushed either into aboveground mounds or into tunnels underground. Factorsaffecting the amount of burrowing and the preference of aboveground or underground soil deposition are, nevertheless, little known. We investigated the influence of food supply, soil hardness, and the animal's body mass on the mode of soil deposition inten burrow systems of free ranging silvery mole-rats Heliophobius argenteocinereus Peters, 1846. In each burrow system, we estimated the volume of backfilled tunnels and the volume of soil deposited aboveground. The highest amount of variation in theseparameters was explained by the interaction of food supply and soil hardness. The ratio of the volume of backfilled tunnels to the volume of mounds was not significantly dependent on any of the explanatory variables. The proportion of bac
