Resource characteristics and foraging adaptations in the silvery mole-rat (Heliophobius argenteocinereus), a solitary Afrotropical bathyergid
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The African mole rats (Bathyergidae) is a rodent family unique for subterranean life and diverse social systems. Solitary species are thought to be confined to areas with abundant, evenly distributed food resources and easily workable soils, which favorsearly natal dispersal and independent reproduction. However, there is a paucity of empirical data confirming this assumption. We examined ecological conditions of a typical natural habitat of the solitary silvery mole-rat (Heliophobius argenteocinereus), which is the Miombo woodland, and we identified behavioral and other adaptations which potentially improve its foraging success. We also tested food selectivity of captive mole-rats. In the Miombo, mole-rat food resources were clumped, but relatively ample. This, along with a predictable and relatively short period of year with dry and difficult-to-work soil, creates relatively moderate ecological conditions. Analysis of food stores showed that food storing alone probably does not secu
