Nest Architecture Drives Sex-Specific Emergence Success in a Predator Wasp (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Discoelius wangi) [PDF]
InsectsPredatory insects play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance. Among them, members of the subfamily Zethinae, as natural enemies of herbivorous pests, have reproductive success closely linked to nest architecture, as this limits their prey items.

Nest Mosquito Trap quantifies contact rates between nesting birds and mosquitoes
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2012 : Accurate estimates of host-vector contact rates are required for precise determination of arbovirus transmission intensity. We designed and tested a novel mosquito collection device, the Nest Mosquito Trap (NMT), to collect mosquitoes as they attempt

Wild Foundress Queen Bumble Bees Make Numerous, Short Foraging Trips and Exhibit Frequent Nest Failure: Insights From Trap‐Nesting and RFID Tracking [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe overwhelming majority of research on wild bumble bees has focused on the social colony stage. Nest‐founding queens in the early season are difficult to study because incipient nests are challenging to find in the wild and the foundress queen flight ...
