Its not the mammals that will survive. We might as well be the last mammals to die out. Mammals are exactly new, evolutionarily speaking. Look at the arthropods, and the single celled organisms. They have a definite one up on mammals.

ruggedized against radiation (see answer above)

I'am not sure, but ill individuals will be rejected from the colony to prevent epidemic broadening.
But I think the adaptable species are ants...
