• Microclimate in Burrows of Subterranean Rodents — Revisited (2007, background): “This buffering effect is pronounced in sealed burrows showing stable burrow temperatures as demonstrated for different species of African mole-rats (Jarvis 1979; Bennett et al. 1988; Lovegrove and Knight-Eloff 1988; Brett 1991; Roper et al. 2001; Scharff et al. 2001; Šumbera et al. 2004) (Table 3.”
• Subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys (Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae) follow the converse to Bergmann's rule (2007, background): “Tuco-tuco burrows maintain more constant temperatures than those of other studied fossorial species, such as African bathyergids (Roper et al., 2001; Sumbera et al., 2004).”
