Variation in Dung Removal Rates by Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in a Temperate, Dry Steppe Ecosystem

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
During their feeding process, dung beetles perform a series of ecosystem functions that provide valuable ecosystem services, such as soil fertilization, improvement of soil properties, plant growth enhancement, and biological pest control.

Availability of food and nesting-sites as regulatory mechanisms for the recovery of ant diversity after fire disturbance

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
Nest-site is an important resource for cavity-nesting ants, what limits colony establishment and structures ant community composition through competition.

PSYCHOSOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF NESTING AS PERCEIVED BY ADULT CHILDREN LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS [PDF]

open access: yesStudia Humanistyczne AGH, 2018
home. This is being postponed increasingly often, and this process of deferment, called nesting (in this context: remaining in the original “nest”, rather than starting one’s own), is increasingly common among young adults aged between 18 and 34 ...

Beyond harm’s reach? Submersion of river turtle nesting areas and implications for restoration actions after Amazon hydropower development [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
The global expansion of energy demands combined with abundant rainfall, large water volumes and high flow in tropical rivers have led to an unprecedented expansion of dam constructions in the Amazon.

Multidecadal analysis of beach loss at the major offshore sea turtle nesting islands in the northern Arabian Gulf

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Undocumented historical losses of sea turtle nesting beaches worldwide could overestimate the successes of conservation measures and misrepresent the actual status of the sea turtle population.

Occurrence and nesting behavior of social wasps in an anthropized environment

open access: yesSociobiology, 2019
Some effort had been made concerning the social biodiversity of wasps in Brazil; however, few approaches have been made relating to how this taxa have adapted their nesting behavior to anthropic mixed environments.

Quantifying the Detrimental Impacts of Land-Use and Management Change on European Forest Bird Populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The ecological impacts of changing forest management practices in Europe are poorly understood despite European forests being highly managed. Furthermore, the effects of potential drivers of forest biodiversity decline are rarely considered in concert ...

Clustering Distributions with the Marginalized Nested Dirichlet Process

open access: yesBiometrics, 2017
Summary We introduce a marginal version of the nested Dirichlet process to cluster distributions or histograms. We apply the model to cluster genes by patterns of gene–gene interaction. The proposed approach is based on the nested partition that is implied in the original construction of the nested Dirichlet process. It allows simulation

Measuring Temporal Patterns of the Nest-Building Process in Mice for Animal Welfare and Disease Monitoring

open access: yesMedical Sciences Forum, 2021
Nesting behavior in rodents, used to assess animal welfare/illness and instrumental tasks, is also proposed as valuable for disease monitoring, evaluating potential risk factors and interventions.

A Flat Process Calculus for Nested Membrane Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Annals of Computer Science, 2014
The link-calculus has been recently proposed as a process calculus for representing interactions that are open (i.e., that the number of processes may vary), and multiparty (i.e., that may involve more than two processes). Here, we apply the link-calculus for expressing, possibly hierarchical and non dyadic, biological interactions.
