The Value of Periodical Trap-nesting
Poultry Science, 1939 Abstract SINCE it has become an established fact that egg production is to a considerable extent inherited, it is necessary, if one is to carry out a progressive breeding program, to know something of the inherent production qualities of each bird. In order to secure this information, some poultrymen have resorted to the use of the trap-nest. However,

Managing trap‐nesting bees as crop pollinators: Spatiotemporal effects of floral resources and antagonists [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2017 Abstract The decline of managed honeybees and the rapid expansion of mass‐flowering crops increase the risk of pollination limitation in crops and raise questions about novel management approaches for wild pollinators in agroecosystems. Adding artificial nesting sites, such as trap nests, can promote cavity‐nesting bees in agroecosystems, but ...

Grazing Intensity and the Diversity of Grasshoppers, Butterflies, and Trap‐Nesting Bees and Wasps
Conservation Biology, 2002 Abstract: The maintenance of grasslands as distinct habitats depends on regular management, usually through grazing or mowing, but their species diversity is known to decline with increasing management intensity.

What do we know about Neotropical trap-nesting bees? Synopsis about their nest biology and taxonomy
Papéis Avulsos de ZoologiaCavity-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.

Studying the Nesting Biology of Golden Eagles by Use of Trap Cameras
Пернатые хищники и их охрана, 2023 Trap camera was installed in an active nest of Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) in Eastern Rhodopes, Bulgaria. The recordings encompassed 45 days in June and July and the camera took 12 900 photos, from the time when the single chick was ca. 32 days old

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. Such trap nests or insect hotels offer the opportunity to study the behaviour of populations in semifield conditions.

Accuracy of Short-Interval Trap-Nesting of the Fowl
Poultry Science, 1941 Abstract DAILY trap-nesting of fowls is one of the most costly operations of a poultry breeding plant. Any reduction in the labor required in obtaining trap-nest records would obviously reduce the costs of operation. Many short-cut methods for obtaining satisfactory egg records of hens have been proposed and a complete review of the literature was ...

Unveiling the trap-nesting bees and wasps’ fauna (Hymenoptera: Apocrita) and associated organisms of the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de ZoologiaUrban areas, as cities, are frequently overlooked as refuges for the native fauna. However, these places may support several species and house relevant biodiversity contributing to important ecosystemic functions.

A Test of the Accuracy of Trap-Nest Records
Poultry Science, 1937 Abstract 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 employed to test the accuracy of trap-nest records.

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 ...
