Burrowing Behavior and Biogenic Structures of Mud-Dwelling Insects

Journal of the North American Benthological Society, 1998
Little is known about the burrows of sediment-dwelling insects because these structures are concealed by the sediment in which the animals live. We used X-ray images to reveal and compare the burrowing behavior in the laboratory of aquatic insects from several orders (Diptera, Ephemeroptera, Megaloptera, Trichoptera).

Thermoregulatory behavior of the crayfish Procambarus clarki in a burrow environment

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2003
The behavioral thermoregulation of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarki, was investigated in its burrow environment. In the field, air and water temperatures within crayfish burrows fluctuated less compared with surface temperatures in the Mojave Desert. However, crayfish could still experience sub-optimal temperature regimes inside burrows.

Clam Age Constrains Thermal Tolerance: Insights from Burrowing Behavior and Transcriptomics

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics
Thermal stress in marine environments is likely to become more widespread in marine environments. Understanding age-related physiological adaptations to thermal stress is critically important for predicting the impacts of global climate change on marine biodiversity.

Evidence for Territorial Behavior in a Burrowing Wolf Spider

Ethology, 1996
AbstractEvidence is presented for territorial behavior in a burrowing wolf spider, Geolycosa xera archboldi McCrone (Araneae, Lycosidae). These spiders live in burrows in the scrub habitats of central Florida, USA. Mean nearest‐neighbor distances repeatedly approximate 30 cm. The constancy of this mean indicates that social spacing may be occurring.

Observations on Burrowing Behavior by Panamanian Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

The Coleopterists Bulletin, 2009
Abstract On Barro Colorado Island, Panama, a series of field observations were conducted to evaluate the role of burrower species of Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) in the removal of dung. Using tapir dung placed on the soil surface, three species were observed during the diurnal period, five other species were observed in the ...

Analysis of bone structure in PEROMYSCUS: Effects of burrowing behavior

The Anatomical Record
AbstractWe compare the effects of burrowing behavior on appendicular bone structure in two Peromyscus (deer mouse) species. P. polionotus creates complex burrows in their territories, while P. eremicus is a non‐burrowing nesting mouse. We examined museum specimens' bones of wild‐caught mice of the two species and lab‐reared P.

Neoichnology of burrowing millipedes: Linking modern burrow morphology, organism behavior, and sediment properties to interpret continental ichnofossils

PALAIOS, 2009
Millipedes are known from body fossils as early as the Silurian, and they are an important part of modern global soil ecosystems. Little is known, however, of the morphology of millipede burrows in either the modern or the fossil record. The burrowing behavior and traces of two species of extant millipedes were studied in a laboratory setting. The goal
