Discussion
- v and [p_M] are fixed at the values for T. occidentalis; they are not well-fixed by this data
Facts
- Moles are unique among mammals because all females of the 4 investigated species (Talpa occidentalis, T. europaea, T. romana, and T. stankovici) have ovotestes instead of simply ovaries (Ref: BarrZuri2004)
