Selected Aspects of Burrowing Owl Ecology and Behavior

The Condor, 1973
I studied a population of 15 breeding pairs of Burrowing Owls and their offspring from 5 May 1970 to 20 May 1971 near Albuquerque, New Mexico. Observation time totaled over 400 hr. Most observations were made from a car or on foot and 7 x 50 binoculars and a 20 X spotting scope were used.

Burrowing behavior in wild house mice: Variation within and between populations

Behavior Genetics, 1989
Burrowing behavior was assessed on 120 lab-reared house mice (Mus domesticus) derived from five geographic populations representing a north-south cline along the east coast of the United States. Mice were placed individually into Plexiglas containers filled with sand and peat moss, and their burrows were excavated 24 h later.

CO2-Induced Ocean Acidification Alters the Burrowing Behavior of Manila Clam Ruditapes philippinarum by Reversing GABAA Receptor Function.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2023
Biological burrowing behavior is an important driver shaping ecosystems that is being threatened by CO2-induced ocean acidification; however, the effects of ocean acidification on burrowing behavior and its neurological mechanism remain unclear.

Nest Dimensions, Burrow-Lining, and Decoration Behavior of Burrowing Owls in the Pampas

Journal of Raptor Research, 2021
Nesting in burrows is uncommon among birds, but one example of a burrow-nesting raptor is the Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia). In most areas of North America, where this raptor has been extensively studied, it typically uses burrows of fossorial mammals, but in southern South America this owl digs its own burrows. We studied characteristics of size,

Psychoactive compounds at environmental concentration alter burrowing behavior in the freshwater crayfish.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhAC) have been increasingly detected in freshwater and marine waterbodies worldwide and are recognized as major emerging micropollutant threat to the aquatic environment.

In-Burrow Behavior of Earthworms

The Psychological Record, 1970
Several classes of earthworm behavior were studied in a three-dimensional, semi-natural habitat. Descriptions of burrowing, foraging, feeding, and mating behavior were obtained. In addition, the worms were exposed to light, air, and vibratory stimulation while in their burrows.

Aplysia behavioral biology: II. Induced burrowing in swimming A. brasiliana by burrowed conspecifics

Behavioral Biology, 1976
This study demonstates that burrowing can be induced in a swimming Aplysia brasiliana by placing it into an aquarium containing a burrowed conspecific. When Burrowers (Efficient Burrowers as defined in Aspey and Blankenship, 1976) are removed from their burrows, they consistently reburrow with the latency to reburrow decreasing over 10 trials. When
