Nonideal nest box selection by tree swallows breeding in farmlands: Evidence for an ecological trap?
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Animals are expected to select a breeding habitat using cues that should reflect, directly or not, the fitness outcome of the different habitat options.

What do we know about Neotropical trap-nesting bees? Synopsis about their nest biology and taxonomy
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2019 Cavity-nesting bees are enigmatic because they are difficult to observe in the wild, hence trap-nests (man-made cavities) provide the means by which these bees may be studied.

A Test of the Accuracy of Trap-Nest Records
Poultry Science, 1937 IN A recent paper Amiet (1936) suggested that the methods of statistics might be used to good advantage in record of performance inspection work. As a contribution to this field, Hendricks (1937) showed that the familiar chi-square distribution may be ...

Dynamics of nest occupation and homing of solitary bees in painted trap nests [PDF]
Ecological Entomology, 2020 1. The oil‐collecting bee Centris analis (Fabricius, 1804) is an important pollinator for the Neotropical region. The species can be attracted to nest in human‐made cavities.
