The Journal of Molecular Biology is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of molecular biology. It was established in 1959 [ 1 ] and is published by Elsevier . The editor-in-chief is Peter Wright ( The Scripps Research Institute ).
Prior to 2013, Spalax was widely considered the only member of Spalacinae, with all blind mole-rat species being grouped within it. However, phylogenetic and morphological evidence supported some of the species within it forming a distinct lineage that diverged from the others during the Late Miocene, when a marine barrier formed between Anatolia and the Balkans.
Subfamily Rhizomyinae (bamboo rats and root rats) Subfamily Spalacinae (blind mole rats) Clade Eumuroida – typical muroids Family Calomyscidae. Subfamily Calomyscinae (mouse-like hamsters) Family Nesomyidae. Subfamily Cricetomyinae (pouched rats and mice) Subfamily Dendromurinae (African climbing mice, gerbil mice, fat mice and forest mice)
They are most highly developed in the blind mole-rats, whose eyes are completely covered by skin, and entirely lack external ears or tails. All of the spalacid species dig extensive burrows, which may include storage chambers for food, latrine chambers, and breeding nests.

Damaraland mole-rat. Note the white patch of fur on top of the head. Like other blesmols, the Damaraland mole-rat has a cylindrical body with short, stout limbs, large feet, and a conical head. It is also similar in size to most other African mole-rats, having a head-body length of 14 to 20 cm (5.5 to 7.9 in), with a short, 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1 ...
The lesser blind mole-rat (Nannospalax leucodon) is a species of rodent in the family Spalacidae. It is found in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, North Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey and Ukraine.
Anatolian blind mole-rat or Nehring's blind mole-rat, N. xanthodon Some authorities, including ITIS and Mammal Species of the World , have split out four species endemic to Israel and surrounding regions from N. ehrenbergi based on chromosomal divergence reported by the research of the Institute of Evolution at the University of Haifa :
