Description
Daniel William Hart and co-authors introduce a set of studies on hormones in mammals beyond the usual lab rats and mice. Odd species can show how hormone systems adapt to hard places and tight social lives. The set covers African mole-rats, meerkats, and the Southern giant pouched rat.
Mole-rats that live underground keep low body heat and low thyroid hormone, yet limit its effect in their tissues to save energy. Top female meerkats make high levels of male hormones while pregnant, which shapes their pups. The pouched rat shows a brain map of bonding hormone sensors unlike that of hamsters or voles.
