Nesting Biology of the Solitary Ground-Nesting Bee Diadasina riparia (Apidae: Emphorini)
Sociobiology, 2021 We described the nesting behavior and ecology of Diadasina riparia, from an urban dry forest fragment. The nests of D. riparia were shallow with circular entrance, closed by a mud plug, from which a straight vertical tunnel ending in one or more brood ...

Behavioral Foundations of Nested Stochastic Choice and Nested Logit [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 We provide the first behavioral characterization of nested logit, a foundational and widely applied discrete choice model, through the introduction of a non-parametric version of nested logit that we call Nested Stochastic Choice (NSC). NSC is characterized by a single axiom that weakens Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives based on revealed ...

Morphine Exacerbates Experimental Colitis-Induced Depression of Nesting in Mice
Frontiers in Pain Research, 2021 Opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are excellent analgesics, but recent clinical evidence suggests that these drugs might worsen disease severity in Crohn's disease patients, limiting their clinical utility for treating ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Optimal reproductive performance occurs when birds time reproduction to coincide with peak food availability. Deviation from optimal timing, or mismatch, can affect productivity, though birds may mediate some mismatch effects by altering their incubation

Embryo, Relocation and Secondary Nests of the Invasive Species Vespa velutina in Galicia (NW Spain)
Animals, 2022 Invasive species become established in non-native areas due to their intrinsic characteristics and the ability to adapt to new environments. This work describes the characteristics of the nesting behavior of the invasive yellow-legged hornet (Vespa ...

Consistent Nest Site Selection by Turtles across Habitats with Varying Levels of Human Disturbance
Diversity, 2023 Human disturbance impacts the breeding behavior of many species, and it is particularly important to understand how these human-caused changes affect vulnerable taxa, such as turtles.

Burrow Construction From the Ground Surface in \u3ci\u3eLyroda Subita\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Plasticity in the nesting behavior of Lyroda subita, a species that renovates and then uses pre-existing burrows and other subterranean cavities for nesting sites, is illustrated by one female which apparently excavated her burrow from the ground surface.

Sex-specific effects of cooperative breeding and colonial nesting on prosociality in corvids
eLife, 2020 The investigation of prosocial behavior is of particular interest from an evolutionary perspective. Comparisons of prosociality across non-human animal species have, however, so far largely focused on primates, and their interpretation is hampered by the

Behavior at a Nesting Site and Prey of \u3ci\u3eCrabro Cribrellifer\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) [PDF]
, 2017 In Michigan, Crabro cribrellifer tends to show nest clumping within a nest aggregation. Its nesting behavior is similar to that of other Crabro, and it preys on Neoitamus flavofemoratus (Diptera: Asilidae) on warm days in July.

Diversity, 2019 Timing of nesting affects fitness of oviparous animals living in seasonal environments, and females may cue on environmental factors for their nesting behavior, but these relationships are understudied in tropical turtles.
