• Sociality in New World hystricognath rodents is linked to predators and burrow digging (2006, background): “On the other hand, our study complemented previous analyses (Ebensperger and Cofré, 2001) in that more social species were also active burrow diggers, a finding supporting a link between sociality and burrow digging.”
• Large males dominate: ecology, social organization, and mating system of wild cavies, the ancestors of the guinea pig (2008, background): “Much rather, our results establish the Caviidae as an excellent group to test theories of social evolution in relation to ecological conditions (Barash 1974; Emlen and Oring 1977; Reynolds 1996; Armitage 1999; Ebensperger and Cofré 2001; Lacey and Wieczorek 2003; Ebensperger and Blumstein 2006).”

• Flexible social structure of a desert rodent, Rhombomys opimus: philopatry, kinship, and ecological constraints (2005, background): “The rodents may overcome environmental constraints through cooperative digging of burrows (Ebensperger and Bozinovic, 2000), more efficient harvesting of food (Ebensperger and Cofré, 2001; Faulkes et al., 1997), and enhanced thermoregulation via communal nesting (Hayes, 2000).”
• A conservation paradox for the 21st century: The European wild rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, an invasive alien and an endangered native species (2008, background): “Other benefits to group living could arise from including cooperative construction and maintenance of the group warren (Ebenspherger & Cofre, 2001), thermoregulation (Bell, 1983; Canals, Rosenmann & Bozinovic, 1997; Allaine, 2000) and desirable changes in the quality of food produced by group…”
