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

Sleep and nesting behavior in primates: A review [PDF]
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2018 AbstractSleep is a universal behavior in vertebrate and invertebrate animals, suggesting it originated in the very first life forms. Given the vital function of sleep, sleeping patterns and sleep architecture follow dynamic and adaptive processes reflecting trade‐offs to different selective pressures.Here, we review responses in sleep and sleep‐related

Nesting behavior of stingless bees [PDF]
Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2020 Abstract Native bees, besides excellent producers of honey, lend a great legacy to humanity through their ability to pollinate plants and the consequent preservation of ecosystems. In this interspecific relation, bees are benefited by plant species by the provision of food (nectar and pollen), besides using their branches and trunks for lodging ...

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 ...

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

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.
