- •
Body size of modern Tachyoryctes splendens tracks mean annual temperature.
- •
Body size of fossil mole-rats can be used to track past temperature changes.
- •
Mole-rats from near Lake Victoria indicate cooler temperatures at ∼50 ka and ∼100 ka.
- •
Mole-rats from near Lake Naivasha indicate mid-Holocene warming.
