Movements, Home range and Social organization. Yonenaga’s Spiny-rats live in self-dug burrow systems, with mean of9-9 occupied burrows per hectare. Each burrow system has 1-13 entrances. Adults of both sexes share a burrow system, and in some cases, the same nest within a burrow system. Perhaps unsurprisingly, therefore, intensity of interand intrasexualaffiliative behavior is high in laboratory experiments, with affiliation mediated by acoustic communication by both sexes and regardless of whether individuals belong to same or different social groups. Female Yonenaga’s Spiny-rats spend more time near familiar males than unfamiliar males—a pattern interpreted as social monogamy. Home ranges average 5-6 m? for males and 6-7 m? for females; those of the two sexes overlap extensively suggesting a promiscuous mating system. Patchy distribution of preferred food plants, coupled with propensity to cache food, might be important components in burrow sharing. Individuals might use secretions from anal scent glands as communication signals in social interactions. In captive studies, individuals use stop-and-go search strategy—a pattern of locomotion characterized by notable vigilance.
