Thermal stress affects bioturbators' burrowing behavior: A mesocosm experiment on common cockles (Cerastoderma edule).

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2022
The intensity of marine heatwaves is increasing due to climate change. Heatwaves may affect macroinvertebrates' bioturbating behavior in intertidal areas, thereby altering the deposition-erosion balance at tidal flats.

Advancing fishery-independent stock assessments for the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) with new monitoring technologies

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus, supports a key European fishery. Stock assessments for this species are mostly based on trawling and UnderWater TeleVision (UWTV) surveys. However, N.

Cis-regulatory changes in locomotor genes are associated with the evolution of burrowing behavior

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
How evolution modifies complex, innate behaviors is largely unknown. Divergence in many morphological traits has been linked, at least in part, to cis-regulatory changes in gene expression, a pattern also observed in some behaviors of recently diverged ...

Polystyrene Microplastics Modulate the Toxicity of the Hydrophilic Insecticide Thiacloprid for Chironomid Larvae and Also Influence Their Burrowing Behavior

open access: yesMicroplastics, 2022
As there is still little knowledge of interactions between microplastics (MP) and hydrophilic compounds, we propose ways the toxicity of hydrophilic pesticides can be modulated by MP, when sorption can be excluded.

Individual Laterality in Ghost Crabs (Ocypode saratan) Influences Burrowing Behavior

open access: yesSymmetry, 2021
Behavioral handedness is known to enhance an individual’s handling capabilities. However, the ecological advantages in brachyuran crustaceans remain unclear, despite the Ocypode species having been studied extensively.

Mole crab-inspired vertical self-burrowing

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
We present EMBUR—EMerita BUrrowing Robot—the first legged robot inspired by the Pacific mole crab, Emerita analoga, capable of burrowing vertically downward.

Effects of NADPH Oxidase Isoform-2 (NOX2) Inhibition on Behavioral Responses and Neuroinflammation in a Mouse Model of Neuropathic Pain

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
NADPH oxidase isoform-2 (NOX2) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain (NP), mostly through the modulation of neuroinflammation. Since it is also accepted that some neuroimmune mechanisms underlying NP are sex-dependent, we aimed ...

Established and Emerging Research Trends in Norway Lobster, Nephrops norvegicus

open access: yesBiology, 2023
The burrowing crustacean decapod Nephrops norvegicus is a significant species in European Atlantic and Mediterranean fisheries. Research over the decades has mainly focused on behavioral and physiological aspects related to the burrowing lifestyle, since

Dynamics of digging in wet soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Numerous animals live in, and locomote through, subsea soils. To move in a medium dominated by frictional interactions, many of these animals have adopted unique burrowing strategies.
