The naked mole‐rat (Heterocephalus glaber) has fascinated zoologists for at least half a
century. It has also generated considerable biomedical interest not only because of its …

Following Darwin's original insights regarding sexual selection, studies of intrasexual
competition have mainly focused on male competition for mates; by contrast, female …

The longest-lived rodent, the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber), has a reported
maximum lifespan of> 30 years and exhibits delayed and/or attenuated age-associated …

Somewhere in Africa, more than a million years ago, a line of apes began to rear their young
differently than their Great Ape ancestors. From this new form of care came new ways of …

Living things are organized in a hierarchy of levels. Genes group together in cells, cells
group together in organisms, and organisms group together in societies. Even different …

This work proposes a new swarm intelligent nature-inspired algorithm called naked mole-rat
(NMR) algorithm. This NMR algorithm mimics the mating patterns of NMRs present in nature …

Aging refers to a gradual deterioration in function that, over time, leads to increased mortality
risk, and declining fertility. This pervasive process occurs in almost all organisms, although …

Tremendous variation in maximum life span among species overshadows modest increases
in longevity resulting from experimental manipulation. Few aging studies focus on long-lived …

In most animals, the sex that invests least in its offspring competes more intensely for access
to the opposite sex and shows greater development of secondary sexual characters than the …

Abstract Naked mole rats (NMRs; Heterocephalus glaber) are the longest-living rodents
known, with a maximum lifespan of 30 years—5 times longer than expected on the basis of …
