Eggs in the freezer: energetic consequences of nest site and nest design in Arctic breeding shorebirds [PDF]

, 2012
Birds construct nests for several reasons. For species that breed in the Arctic, the insulative properties of nests are very important. Incubation is costly there and due to an increasing surface to volume ratio, more so in smaller species. Small species

Multiple Use of an Old Nest by the European Paper Wasp Polistes dominula (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) in Central Poland

Sociobiology, 2020
Refurbishing the old nest in order to prepare it for a new breeding season cycle has already been observed in few species of paper wasps. When future foundresses emerge from hibernacula they have choose between building a new nest or reusing an old one ...

A study of the biology of Epicharis (Epicharoides) picta using emergence-traps [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2020
This study investigates the nesting habits of Epicharis picta in a nest aggregation located in a fragment of the Atlantic forest in Southeastern Brazil. Ten emergence-traps were set up in this nest aggregation to standardize data collection of phenology,

A solitary wasp boosts nesting success through nest architecture (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Anterhynchium flavomarginatum) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
While nest architecture of social wasps has been extensively studied, the structural adaptations of solitary Eumeninae remain poorly understood, despite their remarkable nesting biology. We set up trap nests for Anterhynchium.
