Burrows and Burrow-Cleaning Behavior of House Mice (Mus musculus domesticus)
The American Midland Naturalist, 2001Abstract Burrow systems constructed by house mice (Mus musculus domesticus) in four large outdoor enclosures were excavated. Burrows ranged from 10–835 cm in length, contained 1–7 entrance holes and had 1–8 distinct tunnel segments and 0–5 cavities. Longer burrows had more segments, more entrances and at least one cavity.

Small-world dynamics drove Phanerozoic divergence of burrowing behaviors
Geology, 2021AbstractSpecies of burrowing animals have changed substantially over evolutionary time scales, but, surprisingly, burrows display persisting morphological patterns throughout the Phanerozoic. Deep-sea burrows are geometrically patterned, whereas shallow-marine burrows display simpler morphologies.

The burrowing behavior of Ctenomys mendocinus (Rodentia)
Mammalia, 1995On decrit le comportement fouisseur de Ctenomys mendocinus vivant en captivite. On a utilise un terrarium ou chaque animal a ete observe pendant 23 minutes. La sequence de fouissement est caracterisee par une succession de grattage-rejet au moyen des pattes-grattage et deplacement en arriere du sol remue.

Burrows and Burrowing Behavior of Onychomys leucogaster
Journal of Mammalogy, 1965A study of the shelter-seeking behavior of captive northern grasshopper mice was made in 15 × 15 × 3 ft sheet metal enclosures. Observations showed that grasshopper mice invariably dug their own burrows. The following types of burrows were recognized: nest burrows, retreat burrows, cache burrows and miscellaneous burrows, including those used for ...

Journal of Ethology, 2008
Dermatonotus muelleri is a forelimbs-head-first burrowing frog that uses its forelimbs for soil removal, and it is the second anuran species known to arch its head downwards at an angle of almost 90° to the longitudinal axis of its body when burrowing. The burrowing behavior of D. muelleri is divided in three stages: head burrowing, body burrowing, and

Antipredator defensive behaviors in a visible burrow system.
Journal of Comparative Psychology, 1989Analyzed defensive behaviors in a seminatural setting through videorecordings of groups of 4 male and 4 female rats. Before cat exposure dominant males showed more offensive behavior, eating, drinking, and use of the open area than subordinates. Presentation of a cat in the open area produced changes in four subpatterns of defense over a 24-hr period ...

Effects of survey methods on burrowing owl behaviors
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2011AbstractMonitoring wildlife populations often involves intensive survey efforts to attain reliable estimates of population size. Such efforts can increase disturbance to animals, alter detection, and bias population estimates. Burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) are declining across western North America, and information on the relative effects of ...

Bilaterian Burrows and Grazing Behavior at >585 Million Years Ago
Science, 2012Early Burrowers Direct fossil evidence of animals from Ediacaran period—the time in Earth's history just before extensive animal diversification in the Cambrian—is scant. However, the remains of animal activity in sediment, which remain intact through geologic time can provide clues about animal behavior and evolution.
