Across the globe, about 250 species of rodents spend most of
their lives in safe and stable, but dark, oxygen-poor and carbon
dioxide-rich burrows, deprived of most of the sensory cues
available aboveground. They have become fully specialized for a
unique way of life in which foraging and breeding take place
underground. The systematic research into adaptations of
subterranean dwellers is only about two decades old, but it has
rapidly intensified within the last few years, bringing insight
into many aspects of the biology and evolution at different
organization levels.
Subterranean Rodents presents achievements from the last years
of research on these rodents, divided into five sections:
ecophysiology; sensory ecology; life histories, behavioural ecology
and demography; environmental and economical impact; molecular
ecology and evolution. It is a must for all researchers working in
this field and will be of interest to zoologists, physiologists,
morphologists, ecologists, and evolutionary biologists.
