Burrowing Behavior as Robust Parameter for Early Humane Endpoint Determination in Murine Models for Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
AnimalsDue to late-stage diagnoses and limited treatment options, pancreatic cancer is predicted to be the second leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. Many different murine models were developed over the past decades to test new therapies for this tumor ...

Burrowing behavior of a deposit feeding bivalve predicts change in intertidal ecosystem state
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Behavior has a predictive power that is often underutilized as a tool for signaling ecological change. The burrowing behavior of the deposit feeding bivalve Macoma balthica reflects a typical food-safety trade-off.

Seasonal burrowing behavior and ecology of aporrhais occidentalis (gastropoda : strombacea).
The Biological Bulletin, 1978 1. SCUBA observations and in situ tagging experiments were carried out on a population of Aporrhais occidentalis during 1973-1976. Seasonal changes in burrowing behavior were quantified by determining the percentage of tagged snails found burrowing each ...

Increased burrow oxygen levels trigger defensive burrow-sealing behavior by plateau zokors [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractDefensive behaviors are a response to immediate and potential threats in the environment, including abiotic and biotic threats. Subterranean rodents exhibit morphological and physiological adaptions for life underground, and they will seal with mounds and additional plugs when their burrow opened.

Mysterious Morphology: An Investigation of the Octopus Keel and Its Association with Burrowing
Biology, 2023 The octopus keel is a trait that has been hypothesized to be connected with burrowing in octopuses, but has never been explored in any detail. We investigated the association between these two traits using two approaches.
