Strange Sex Life of Mole-rats may Provide Clues About Human Infertility

ied, other non-breeding but high-rank females fought for dominance. The winner became the new queen and rapidly became reproductively active.

Social stress acts through brain pathways that control reproductive hormones which are likely to be similar in both animals and humans, said Dr Faulkes.

Social suppression of reproduction in marmoset monkeys is very similar to that in naked mole-rats, and as these are primates the applications to understanding human stress-related infertility arent so far fetched, he said.

Humans also vary widely in the way in which they form social bonds with their partners, offspring and kin. By making careful comparisons with model species like mole-rats, we may be able to tease apart the relative contribution of genes, environment, up-bringing and culture to complex social behaviour in our own species, he added.

Dr Faulkes presented the research at the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) in Lyon, France.
