Nesting Biology of the Solitary Ground-Nesting Bee Diadasina riparia (Apidae: Emphorini)
Sociobiology, 2021 We described the nesting behavior and ecology of Diadasina riparia, from an urban dry forest fragment. The nests of D. riparia were shallow with circular entrance, closed by a mud plug, from which a straight vertical tunnel ending in one or more brood ...

Nesting Biology of Xylocopa xinjiangensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Xylocopinae). [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2018 AbstractXylocopa, an important genus in Hymenoptera: Apidae, is of great significance in research on the early stages of insect social evolution. Most species in this genus burrow into wooden structures. Only the Proxylocopa subgenus nests in the soil.

Notes on methods and analysis of ground nests of apoid wasps (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalA large portion of species of apoid wasps (Spheciformes) place their nests underground. While nesting biology and structure of nests of cavity-nesting species are often studied, searching for nests in the ground is usually interpreted as very difficult ...

Nesting biology of Trypoxylon (Trypargilum) lactitarse Saussure (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae) in trap-nests in Southern Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2006 This study was carried in the Parque Municipal das Araucárias in the municipality of Guarapuava, state of Paraná, Southern Brazil. Three hundred and sixty five nests of T. lactitarse were obtained using trap-nests of 0.7, 1.0, and 1.3 cm in diameter. All

Nesting in Anolis Lizards: An Understudied Topic in a Well-Studied Clade
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Maternal nesting behavior in oviparous species strongly influences the environmental conditions their embryos experience during development. In turn, these early-life conditions have consequences for offspring phenotypes and many fitness components ...

A review of global trends in the study types used to investigate bee nesting biology
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 Nesting resources are key inputs for the survival and reproduction of bees. However, relatively little work has been done on threats bees face from a nesting-biology perspective, with most studies focusing on floral resources. Much of what is known about

SYSBIONS: nested sampling for systems biology [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2014 Motivation: Model selection is a fundamental part of the scientific process in systems biology. Given a set of competing hypotheses, we routinely wish to choose the one that best explains the observed data. In the Bayesian framework, models are compared via Bayes factors (the ratio of evidences), where a model’s evidence is the support given to the ...
