WASPnest: a worldwide assessment of social Polistine nesting behavior. [PDF]

Ecology, 2018
AbstractCooperative breeding decreases the direct reproductive output of subordinate individuals, but cooperation can be evolutionarily favored when there are challenges or constraints to breeding independently. Environmental factors, including temperature, precipitation, latitude, high seasonality, and environmental harshness have been hypothesized to

Reproduction of the Atlantic Forest endemic star-throated antwren, Rhopias gularis (Aves: Thamnophilidae)

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The Thamnophilidae are one of the most speciose Neotropical bird families, yet aspects of their natural history remain poorly documented. Here we provide information on breeding phenology, the length of incubation and nestling periods, parental care, and

Monitoring the ramp use of cage-free laying hens with deep learning technologies

Poultry Science
Mislaid eggs are management and economic challenges in Cage-free (CF) housing systems, producing about 10-15 % floor eggs, although approximately 40 % of table egg laying hens are now in CF production systems.

From Leaves to Litter: Use of Anthropogenic Nesting Materials in Hibernation Nests of the European Hedgehog

Ecology and Evolution
Urbanization and human population growth have significantly increased the presence of anthropogenic materials in natural environments, prompting growing interest in how wildlife may be adapting to these changes.
