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

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 ...

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 ...

Spatial and temporal resource partitioning in a mixed‐species colony of avian echolocators
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Resource partitioning may facilitate the coexistence of sympatric species with similar ecological requirements. Here, we study a colony of unusual echolocating birds called swiftlets, which nest underground on an island off the coast of Singapore.

Nesting biology of Trypoxylon petiolatum Smith, 1858 (Crabronidae), a cavity-nesting solitary wasp new to Europe [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2022 We report on the discovery of the spider-hunting wasp Trypoxylon petiolatum (Crabronidae) nesting in three localities in the Province of Girona (Catalonia, NE Spain) in 2019 and 2021.
