Eusociality, the highest level of social organization, is rare among vertebrates and is best exemplified by two African mole-rat species (Bathyergidae). The lifetime monogamy hypothesis suggests that monogamy enhances genetic relatedness within colonies, favoring the evolution of cooperative behavio …
