Deficits in Burrowing Behaviors Are Associated With Mouse Models of Neuropathic but Not Inflammatory Pain or Migraine [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018 Burrowing, or the removal of material from an enclosed tube, is emerging as a prominent means of testing changes in a voluntary behavior in rodent models of various pain states.

Burrowing Behavior as an Indicator of Post-Laparotomy Pain in Mice
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010 Detection of persistent pain of a mild-to-moderate degree in laboratory mice is difficult because mice do not show unambiguous symptoms of pain or suffering using standard methods of short-term observational or clinical monitoring.

Suction-induced habitat selection in sand bubbler crabs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 We show that a decapod crustacean, the sand bubbler crab (SBC) Scopimera globosa, uses suction, which is the tension of moisture in the sediment, to select habitats at normal times and at the time of disaster events, through a range of controlled ...
