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 ).
Brodifacoum is a highly lethal 4-hydroxycoumarin vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant poison.In recent years, it has become one of the world's most widely used pesticides.It is typically used as a rodenticide, but is also used to control larger pests such as possums.

Typical rat poison bait station (Germany, 2010) Rodenticides are chemicals made and sold for the purpose of killing rodents . While commonly referred to as " rat poison ", rodenticides are also used to kill mice , woodchucks , chipmunks , porcupines , nutria , beavers , [ 1 ] and voles . [ 2 ]
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.
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.
Various aged naked mole-rats. The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber), also known as the sand puppy, [6] is a burrowing rodent native to the Horn of Africa and parts of Kenya, notably in Somali regions. It is closely related to the blesmols and is the only species in the genus Heterocephalus. [7]
The blesmols, also known as mole-rats, or African mole-rats, are burrowing rodents of the family Bathyergidae. They represent a distinct evolution of a subterranean life among rodents much like the pocket gophers of North America, the tuco-tucos in South America, and the Spalacidae from Eurasia.
