Burrowing behavior as an indicator of post-laparotomy pain in mice [PDF]
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.

Burrowing behavior and burrowing energetics of a bioindicator under human disturbance [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Bioindicator species are extensively used for rapid assessment of ecological changes. Their use commonly focuses on changes in population abundance and individual sizes in response to environmental change.

Interspecific variation in cooperative burrowing behavior by Peromyscus mice [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2022 Animals often adjust their behavior according to social context, but the capacity for such behavioral flexibility can vary among species. Here, we test for interspecific variation in behavioral flexibility by comparing burrowing behavior across three ...

Sediment Bulk Density Effects on Benthic Macrofauna Burrowing and Bioturbation Behavior [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Benthic macrofauna are a key component of intertidal ecosystems. Their mobility and behavior determine processes like nutrient cycling and the biogeomorphic development of intertidal flats.

Influences of Substrate Grain Size on the Burrowing Behavior of Juvenile Meretrix meretrix [PDF]
Animals, 2022 The substrate is the key environmental factor that affects the growth, survival, population and distribution of dwelling mollusks in mudflat settings. To clarify the effect of the substrate grain size on soft substrate preference, burrowing ability and ...

Radial Expansion Favors the Burrowing Behavior of Urechis unicinctus [PDF]
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2023 Urechis unicinctus can utilize the ability of large deformation to advance in sands by radial expansion, just using a small force. However, the large deformation of U.

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.

Caenorhabditis elegans daf-7 mutants exhibit burrowing behavior. [PDF]
MicroPubl Biol, 2019 Burrowing was originally described for C. elegans as worms that tended to stay below the surface of the agar when maintaining high densities of nematodes on agar (Hodgkin and Doniach, 1997). The neuropeptide receptor NPR-1 regulates food-related behaviors (de Bono and Bargmann, 1998).

Evolution and genetics of precocious burrowing behavior in Peromyscus mice [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 SummaryA central challenge in biology is to understand how innate behaviors evolve between closely related species. One way to elucidate how differences arise is to compare the development of behavior in species with distinct adult traits. Here, we report thatPeromyscus polionotusis strikingly precocious with regard to burrowing behavior, but not other

Burrowing behavior is a potential non-invasive proxy for lesion development in a syngeneic murine model of endometriosis [PDF]
BMC Women's HealthBackground Endometriosis (EM) is a persistent, chronic inflammatory condition associated with excruciating pelvic pain and infertility. The absence of a pre-clinical model that reliably replicates the clinical and functional hallmarks of human EM ...
