- Abstract
The blind mole rat which is widely distributed across the Eastern Mediterranean, Asia Minor, Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and Northeastern Africa, is a rodent that is highly adapted to living underground. The subterranean Spalacidae probably originated from a muroid-cricetoid stock in Anatolia or Balkans in Early Miocene or Late Oligocene times. The Robertsonian rearrangements are the relevant mechanism of the change in the diploid number of chromosomes in blind mole rats. Diploid chromosome numbers (2n) and the genetic heterozygosity are positively correlated with aridity stress in Anatolian and Israeli mole rats. The evolution of blind mole rats was driven by climate oscillations and tectonic changes in the past.
