我们比较了自由生活的裸鼹鼠，异头鼹鼠，脚趾修剪和植入式转发器芯片标记的生存。虽然在六个菌落中的五个菌落中，脚趾修剪的动物的存活率略高于使用应答器芯片的动物，但两种标记技术之间没有显着差异。两种标记技术的成本和效益的比较表明，脚趾修剪是最好的标记在偏远地区的小型哺乳动物。
We compared survival of free-living naked mole-rats, Heterocephalus glaber, marked by toe-clipping and implantable transponder chips. Although survival was marginally higher for toe-clipped animals than for those with transponder chips in five of six colonies, no significant differences were found between the two marking techniques. Comparison of the costs and benefits of the two marking techniques suggests that toe-clipping is preferable for marking small fossorial mammals in remote areas.
