13: MOVEMENTS, BEHAVIOR, AND NESTING ECOLOGY OF THE WILD TURKEY IN EASTERN ALABAMA*
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1973 An ecological study of the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) was conducted in the Alabama Piedmont during the spring and summer of 1968 and 1969. Fifteen hens were captured, patagium‐tagged, instrumented with 27 MHz radio transmitters,

Differences in Pre-Laying Behavior between Floor-Laying and Nest-Laying Pekin Ducks
Animals, 2019 Floor-laying in commercially farmed Pekin ducks is not well understood. This exploratory study aimed to determine if behavioral differences exist between floor-laying and nest-laying ducks.

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 ...

A Fatal Nest Construction: Man-mixed Cement Used by Mud-daubing Wasps
Sociobiology, 2018 Some sphecid wasps apparently show tolerance to urban habitats. However, resilience to man-made environments may have harmful consequences when behavioral errors can lead to ecological traps.

Broadband, Flexible, Skin‐Compatible Carbon Dots/Graphene Photodetectors for Wearable Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Broadband, flexible photodetectors integrating nitrogen‐rich carbon dots with single‐layer graphene on plastic substrates are demonstrated. A biocompatible chitosan–glycerol electrolyte enables efficient low‐voltage gating and on‐skin operation. The devices exhibit ultraviolet‐to‐near‐infrared response, mechanical robustness under bending, and verified

Notes on the Nests of \u3ci\u3eAugochloropsis metallica fulgida\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eMegachile mucida\u3c/i\u3e in Central Michigan (Hymenoptera: Halictidae, Megachilidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Notes on the nesting biology of two ground-nesting species are provided from Central Michigan. A single nest of Augochloropsis metallica fulgida was excavated on 12 July 2014 in Shiawassee County. There were two female nest inhabitants.

Encoding Magnetic Anisotropies in Digital Light Processing 3D Printing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A hybrid magnetic device—combining a coaxial coil within a nested Halbach array—is presented, integrated into a DLP 3D printer to enable spatially resolved magnetic field control. This system enables complex, multimodal responses by programming liquid crystal elastomer resins for magnetic and thermal actuation, and by inducing electrically conductive ...
