Damaraland mole-rats are not obligate cooperative breeders

J. Thorley, H. Bensch, K. Finn, T. Clutton-Brock, M. Zöttl

This study shows that Damaraland mole-rats do not require non-breeding helpers for reproductive success, challenging the view of them as obligate cooperative breeders.

Morphological and genomic shifts in mole-rat 'queens' increase fecundity but reduce skeletal integrity

R. A. Johnston, P. Vullioud, J. Thorley, H. Kirveslahti, L. Shen, S. Mukherjee, C. Karner, T. Clutton-Brock, J. Tung

This study examines how breeding status affects skeletal morphology and gene regulation in Damaraland mole-rats, finding increased fecundity but reduced skeletal integrity in queens.

High MHC gene copy number maintains diversity despite homozygosity in a Critically Endangered single-island endemic bird, but no evidence of MHC-based mate choice

M. Stervander, E. G. Dierickx, J. Thorley, M. d. L. Brooke, H. Westerdahl

The study examines MHC-I diversity and mate choice in the Raso lark, finding no evidence of MHC-based mate choice but high MHC-I diversity maintained through multiple gene copies and haplotypes despite high homozygosity.

Do cooperatively breeding mammals live longer? A re-appraisal

J. Thorley

This study re-examines whether cooperative breeding in mammals increases maximum lifespan, finding no strong evidence after controlling for body mass and data quality, except for African mole-rats.
