Sex differences in timing and context of dispersal in Damaraland mole‐rats (Fukomys damarensis)

The fieldwork was funded by the Foundation for Research and Development and the National Research Foundation and the University of Cape Town to NCB and JUMJ. MTT and MZ were supported by a European Research Council advanced grant to Tim Clutton‐Brock. (294494).
