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.

Oxidative Stress Is a Potential Cost of Synchronous Nesting in Olive Ridley Sea Turtles
Antioxidants, 2022 Olive ridley sea turtles, Lepidochelys olivacea, exhibit a polymorphic reproductive behavior, nesting solitarily or in mass aggregations termed “arribadas”, where thousands of individuals nest synchronously.

Adaptive latitudinal variation in Common Blackbird Turdus merula nest characteristics [PDF]
, 2014 Nest construction is taxonomically widespread, yet our understanding of adaptive intraspecific variation in nest design remains poor. Nest characteristics are expected to vary adaptively in response to predictable variation in spring temperatures over

A unique nest-protection strategy in a new species of spider wasp.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hymenoptera show a great variation in reproductive potential and nesting behavior, from thousands of eggs in sawflies to just a dozen in nest-provisioning wasps. Reduction in reproductive potential in evolutionary derived Hymenoptera is often facilitated

Notes on \u3ci\u3eDianthidium Simile\u3c/i\u3e (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) in Michigan [PDF]
, 2018 Dianthidium simile (Cresson) is a small ground-nesting megachilid bee restricted to sandy areas in Michigan, often bordering lakeshores. Females dig their nests in sand, at the base of dried clumps of grass. Nests are small clusters of cells, formed from

Territorial defense of the red-whiskered bulbul, Pycnonotus jocosus (Pycnonotidae), in a semi-wild habitat of the bird farm [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2003 The territorial behavior of the red-whiskered bulbul, Pycnonotus jocosus, was studied in the semiwild habitat of a bird farm compound in the District of Chana, Songkhla Province, the south of Thailand.

Frustration of antiferromagnetism in the t-t'-Hubbard model at weak coupling [PDF]
, 1998 The perfect-nesting instability towards antiferromagnetism of the Hubbard model is suppressed by next-nearest neighbor hopping t'. The exact asymptotic behavior of the critical coupling U_c(t') at small t' is calculated in dimensions d=2,3 and infinity ...

Ab-initio study of the anomalies in the He atom scattering spectra of H/Mo(110) and H/W(110) [PDF]
, 1996 Helium atom scattering (HAS) studies of the H-covered Mo(110) and W(110) surfaces reveal a twofold anomaly in the respective dispersion curves. In order to explain this unusual behavior we performed density functional theory calculations of the atomic ...

Marine plastic debris emits a keystone infochemical for olfactory foraging seabirds. [PDF]
, 2016 Plastic debris is ingested by hundreds of species of organisms, from zooplankton to baleen whales, but how such a diversity of consumers can mistake plastic for their natural prey is largely unknown.
