Reviews
'African Mole-Rats is a must for research libraries and individuals intrigued with the ecology, evolution, and elaboration of social life.' Paul W. Sherman, New Biological Books, ' … deserves to be in any research library with an interest in mammals or evolutionary studies. It is right up-to-date, authoritative, and fully referenced.' D. W. Yalden, The Linnean, "This book is valuable to all of us interested in evolution of social behavior for its comprehensive references on the African mole-rats and it has the advantage over an edited volume of being clearly organized and having consistent style. African mole-rats, ecology and eusociality is an excellent review of the Bathyergidae and a well-crafted arguement in support of the AFDH."

Quarterly Review of Biology, ' ... deserves to be in any research library with an interest in mammals or evolutionary studies. It is right up-to-date, authoritative, and fully referenced.'D. W. Yalden, The Linnean, "Although the authors present solid scientific information complete with copious high quality tables and graphs, their writing style is such as to engage nonprofessionals as well as those doing research on mole-rats. Their book should be in libraries of colleges and universities, particularly those emphasizing ecology, vertebrate biology, evolution, and animal behavior."

Synopsis
African mole-rats are a unique taxon of subterranean rodents that range in sociality from solitary-dwelling species through to two 'eusocial' species, the Damaraland Mole-Rat and the Naked Mole-Rat. The Naked Mole-Rat is arguably the closest that a mammal comes to behaving like social insects such as bees and termites, with large colonies and a behavioural and reproductive division of labour. As a family, the Bathyergidae represent a model system with which to study the evolution and maintenance of highly social cooperative breeding strategies. In this book, first published in 2000, Nigel Bennett and Chris Faulkes provide a synthesis of the knowledge of bathyergid systematics, ecology, reproductive biology, behaviour and genetics. With this, they explore the role of these factors in the evolution of sociality in the Bathyergidae in the context of both vertebrates and invertebrates. This will be an important new resource for anyone interested in the evolution of sociality, and in mole-rats in particular., African mole-rat species show a remarkable range of social systems, including both solitary forms and those that live in large colonies having insect-like reproductive division of labour. This volume, first published in 2000, synthesises knowledge and research to explore the evolution of social behaviour in both vertebrates and invertebrates., African mole-rats are a unique taxon of subterranean rodents that range in sociality from solitary-dwelling species to two "eusocial" species, the Damaraland mole-rat and the naked mole-rat.
