Burrow morphology of Uca uruguayensis and Uca leptodactylus (Decapoda: Ocypodidae) from a subtropical mangrove forest in the western Atlantic
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-09-01)
The continuous excavation of burrows by fiddler crabs generates bioturbation in the sediment, which can be estimated from burrow morphology. The aim of the present study was to describe the burrow morphology of Uca ...
Burrowing behavior of Dermatonotus muelleri (Anura, Microhylidae) with reference to the origin of the burrowing behavior of Anura
(Springer Tokyo, 2009-01-01)
Dermatonotus muelleri is a forelimbs-head-first burrowing frog that uses its forelimbs for soil removal, and it is the second anuran species known to arch its head downwards at an angle of almost 90A degrees to the ...
Orientation and external morphology of burrows of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Ucididae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-09-01)
The aim of the present study was to characterize the external morphology and the orientation of burrows constructed by the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus. Data were obtained from two mangrove forests of similar vegetation ...

Previous experience and substrate matter: Plasticity in burrow digging in a South American wolf spider
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2019-10)
Burrowing behavior can be affected by substrate conditions such as percentages of minerals, organic substances, granulometry, and biotic factors like densities of burrowing individuals, potential prey, and predators. ...
Female and juvenile burrow-digging in Allocosa brasiliensis, a South American sand-dwelling wolf spider
(British Arachnological Society, 2015-02)
Allocosa brasiliensis is a sand-dwelling wolf spider that constructs burrows along the coasts of rivers, lakes and the Atlantic Ocean in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. This species shows a reversal in typical sex roles in ...
The influence of temperature on the behavior of burrowing in larvae of the blowflies, Chrysomya albiceps and Lucilia cuprina, under controlled conditions
(Univ Arizona, 2009-04-21)
Blowflies use discrete, ephemeral substrates for larval development. After exhaustion of the food supply, larvae will disperse in search of sites to burrow and pupate or will seek other sources of food in a process known ...
