Occupancy rates and nesting success of European storm-petrels breeding inside artificial nest-boxes
Scientia Marina, 2003 We report on occupancy rates and nesting success of European storm-petrels Hydrobates pelagicus breeding in artificial nest-boxes for five years. Plastic nest-boxes were installed inside two natural caves on the island of Benidorm (western Mediterranean),

A role for nonapeptides and dopamine in nest-building behaviour [PDF]
, 2015 During nest building in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), several regions in the social behaviour network and the dopaminergic reward system, two neural circuits involved in social behaviour, appear to be active in male and female nest-building ...

Behaviour of kittiwakes during the breeding season: relationships with nest density and breeding success [PDF]
, 2000 Activity budgets for kittiwakes at the nest site were determined for colonies on Tyneside during the pre-laying period in 1996 and for the Skomer Island colony during the pre-laying period in 1998 and for incubation and chick rearing in 1997 and 1998 ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution of metastatic salivary gland cancer were evaluated in two patients with adenoid carcinoma and one patient with myoepithelial carcinoma. Radiology‐guided autopsy enabled multi‐region sampling (total samples n = 149), followed by whole‐genome sequencing and phylogenetic reconstruction (17 tumour samples, 4–7 per ...
