Ecological Trap in the Nest: Human Hair Causes the Death of Breeding Barn Swallows (<i>Hirundo rustica</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
As urbanization intensifies, an increasing number of bird species incorporate anthropogenic materials into their nests. This behavior may confer certain benefits but can also constitute an ecological trap, causing mortality through entanglement.

Efficiency of trap nests in attracting stingless bees in the central Brazilian Amazon

Acta Amazonica, 2022
Obtaining colonies of stingless bees in the wild for the formation or expansion of meliponaries and other purposes is permitted by law in Brazil using bait containers or trap nests, and other non-destructive methods.

Nests of Eufriesea aff. auriceps (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini) in remnants of Atlantic Forest and reforested areas

Sociobiology, 2021
In recent decades, the use of the trap-nest technique has helped to increase knowledge on the nest architecture of many orchid bee species. This study describes the nest architecture of Eufriesea aff.

Comparative nesting success of the keyhole mud-dauber (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae, Trypoxylon nitidum) in different substrates

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2016
The solitary wasp Trypoxylon nitidum F. Smith nests in a variety of existing cavities. Nesting success – the fraction of completed, provisioned cells that produced adult offspring – can be estimated by examination of old cells.

Life history and nesting ecology of a Japanese tube-nesting spider wasp Dipogon sperconsus (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae)

Scientific Reports, 2021
To clarify the life history of the Japanese spider wasp Dipogon sperconsus, bionomical studies using bamboo-cane trap nests were carried out in Japan. Based on weekly and consecutive daily surveys of trap nests and rearing of broods from collected nests,

Occupation and Emergence of Solitary Bees in Different Types of Trap Nests

Sociobiology, 2019
The study investigated the occupation and emergence of bees that nest in trap-nests and assessed aspects of the structure of such nests, sex ratio, parasitism and mortality of bees in four areas of Baturité Massif, State of Ceará.
