On the surface or down below: Field observations reveal a high degree of surface activity in a burrowing crayfish, the Little Brown Mudbug (Lacunicambarus thomai).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Opposed to most crayfish species that inhabit permanent bodies of water, a unique burrowing lifestyle has evolved several times throughout the crayfish phylogeny. Burrowing crayfish are considered to be semi-terrestrial, as they burrow to the groundwater-

Reviews and syntheses: Composition and characteristics of burrowing animals along a climate and ecological gradient, Chile [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2021
Although the burrowing activity of some species (e.g., gophers) is well studied, a comprehensive inventory of burrowing animals in adjacent biomes is not yet known, despite the potential importance of burrowing activity on the physical and chemical ...

Spider burrows in ichnological context : a review of literature data and burrows of the wolf spider Trochosa hispanica Simon, 1870 from Albania [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A general review of spider burrows and history of their research in eighteenth to nineteenth centuries are provided on the basis of the literature, which is dispersed and almost forgotten by majority of ichnologists.

Stratified vertical sediment profiles increase burrowing crab effects on salt marsh edaphic conditions

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Burrowing animals can profoundly affect the biological structure and ecosystem functions of their environments. For instance, burrowing crabs increase sediment deposition and facilitate sediment homogenization and turnover, with potential impacts to ...

Influence of desiccation on the survival of Bulinus globosus under laboratory conditions

open access: yesJournal of Freshwater Ecology, 2018
Environmental changes are generally known to influence the distribution and abundance of schistosome intermediate host snails (IHs). However, the influence of hydrologic changes per ser on the length of survival of schistosome IHs is not fully understood.

Comparison of burrowing and stimuli-evoked pain behaviors as end-points in rat models of inflammatory pain and peripheral neuropathic pain

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016
Establishment and validation of ethologically-relevant, non-evoked behavioral end-points as surrogate measures of spontaneous pain in rodent pain models has been proposed as a means to improve preclinical to clinical research translation in the pain ...

The Return of \u3ci\u3eHexagenia\u3c/i\u3e (Ephemeroptera: Ephemeridae) to the Lower Fox River, Wisconsin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Burrowing mayflies (Hexagenia bilineata) were collected in 1991 in the vicinity of the DePere dam on the Fox River, Brown County, Wisconsin. Because Hexagenia mayflies are indicators of good water quality, their emergence from the Fox River is evidence ...

TLR7-mediated skin inflammation remotely triggers chemokine expression and leukocyte accumulation in the brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: The relationship between the brain and the immune system has become increasingly topical as, although it is immune-specialised, the CNS is not free from the influences of the immune system.

Shell accumulation on seabed due to suspended coastal oyster farming and effects on burrowing capacity of the polychaete Perinereis aibuhitensis

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Mariculture of bivalves (e.g., mussels, scallops, and oysters) is developing rapidly in coastal waters. This process releases shell debris that can accumulate on the seabed under farms.

Basic Research Tools for Earthworm Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Earthworms are responsible for soil development, recycling organic matter and form a vital component within many food webs. For these and other reasons earthworms are worthy of investigation. Many technologically-enhanced approaches have been used within
