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

The nest as fortress: defensive behavior of Polybia emaciata, a mud-nesting eusocial wasp [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2002 The swarm-founding wasp Polybia emaciata is unusual among eusocial Vespidae because it uses mud, rather than wood pulp, as its primary nest construction material. Polybia emaciata nests are more durable than similarly sized paper nests. We tested the hypothesis that the defensive behavior of this wasp may have been modified to take advantage of their ...

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 ...
