Nest Building Behavior as an Early Indicator of Behavioral Deficits in Mice [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2019
Nest building is an innate behavior in male and female rodents, even when raised in laboratory settings. As such, many researchers provide rodents synthetic and/or natural materials (such as twine, tissue, cotton, paper, and hay) as a gauge of their overall well-being and as an ancillary assessment to predict the possible decline in cognition ...

Using behavior indices and vital rates to determine the conservation impact of wildlife tourism: Guided sea turtle watch programs in Florida

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Recent rapid growth in wildlife tourism necessitates understanding its biologically-significant impacts on targeted species. To evaluate these effects, we studied how loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) responded to public sea turtle watch programs ...

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.

Effect of Feathers as Nest Insulation on Incubation Behavior and Reproductive Performance of Tree Swallows (\u3cem\u3eTachycineta bicolor\u3c/em\u3e) [PDF]

, 1995
Many species of birds line their nests with feathers, presumably because of the insulative qualities of feathers and because feathers may act as a barrier between nest parasites and nestlings.

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.
