• The ecology and evolution of eusociality in sponge-dwelling shrimp (2002, background): “More recent work suggests that cyclic inbreeding is not characteristic of most termites (Myles and Nutting, 1988; Thorne, 1997) and that naked mole-rats, despite generally high inbreeding, seek unrelated mates when they are available (Braude, 2000; Ciszek, 2000).”
• KIN RECOGNITION IN GROUND SQUIRRELS AND OTHER RODENTS (2003, background): “Although it was originally thought that naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) inbreed within their underground colonies, current data suggest outbreeding through periodic dispersal (Braude 2000).”
• A REEXAMINATION OF FACTORS INFLUENCING PHILOPATRY IN RODENTS (2003, background): “…laboratory and field colonies of naked mole-rats (O’Riain and Braude 2001; O’Riain et al. 1996), a preference for unrelated mates (Ciszek 2000), and nascent colonies containing unrelated individuals (Braude 2000) suggest that dispersal and outbreeding may be more common than previously thought.”
