Observations on the Nesting Behavior of \u3ci\u3eAuplopus Caerulescens Subcorticalis\u3c/i\u3e and Other Auplopodini (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Nest searching and mud and prey transport behavior in a small aggregation of Auplopus caerulescens subcorticalis nesting in a concrete cellar foundation in upstate New York are delineated. The contents of nine cells of this subspecies are identified, the

Dispersive Gap Mode of Phonons in Anisotropic Superconductors [PDF]

, 2003
We estimate the effect of the superconducting gap anisotropy in the dispersive gap mode of phonons, which is observed by the neutron scattering on borocarbide superconductors.

Use of anthropogenic structures for nesting by Loggerhead Shrikes

Avian Conservation and Ecology
As human activities continue to reshape ecosystems, reports of anthropogenic nest site use by birds are increasing. Although many of these reports focus on cavity nesting species using artificial nest boxes, many species also use buildings and other ...

Nesting, Sex Ratio and Natural Enemies of the Giant Resin Bee in Relation to Native Species in Europe

Insects, 2021
Megachile sculpturalis (Smith, 1853) is the first exotic bee species in Europe. Its remarkably fast expansion across this continent is leading to a growing concern on the extent of negative impacts to the native fauna.

Ethology and Overwintering of \u3ci\u3ePodalonia Luctuosa\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) [PDF]

, 2017
The nesting and overwintering behavior of Podalonia luctuosa (Smith) was studied in New York and Colorado. Females provisioned shallow (ca. 2 cm deep), unicellular nests with a single cutworm (Noctuidae) during April, May, and July.

Behavioral, morphological, and ecological trait evolution in two clades of New World Sparrows (Aimophila and Peucaea, Passerellidae) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
The New World sparrows (Passerellidae) are a large, diverse group of songbirds that vary in morphology, behavior, and ecology. Thus, they are excellent for studying trait evolution in a phylogenetic framework.

Observations on the Nesting of \u3ci\u3eCrabro Tenuis\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Three nests of Crabro tenuis were studied during June 1971-1972 in Oswego County, New York. Females constructed shallow but lengthy, multicelled nests in sand with the cells being built in clusters, sometimes in series. Females plugged the entrances with

Quantifying Nesting Behavior Metrics of Broiler Breeder Hens with Computationally Efficient Image Processing Algorithms and Big Data Analytics

AgriEngineering
Nesting behaviors are important to understand facility design, resource allowance, animal welfare, and the health of broiler breeder hens. How to automatically extract informative nesting behavior metrics of broiler breeder hens remains a question.

Linear magnetoconductivity in multiband spin-density-wave metals with nonideal nesting

, 2013
In several parent iron-pnictide compounds the resistivity has an extended range of linear magnetic field dependence. We argue that there is a simple and natural explanation of this behavior.
