Contributions of molecular and cranial specializations for sensory adaptation in the subterranean blind mole rats (Nannospalax xanthodon) by Tuba Yağcı Gurbanov, Rafig Gurbanov, Uygar Kabaoğlu, Burcu Tekin, Nursel Aşan Baydemir

“…Notably, positive selection signal observed in the Kcnq4 gene suggest that this gene may play a critical role in seismic vibration detection. Cranial morphometry studies support the notion that N. xanthodon possess not only putative morphological adaptations specific to their digging lifestyle but also specialized anatomical structures for detecting seismic vibrations. …”
