Biometrical analysis of larval digging behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 1994)
Digging behavior of D. melanogaster larvae increases as larval development proceeds. Diallel crosses were made to analyze genetically digging behavior at 72 and 108 h of larval age. Additive and dominance variation was ...
Selection for digging behavior in Drosophila melanogaster larvae
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 1978)
The genetics of the digging behavior of Drosophila melanogaster larvae was studied through selective breeding. Selection for low digging activity was successful, but selection for high digging activity was not. Selection ...
Inter- and intrapopulational variation in digging in Drosophila melanogaster larvae
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 1977)
The digging behavior of larvae from the following strains of Drosophila melanogaster was studied: Oregon R-c, taxi, yellow, and vestigial. It was found that the time of stay of preadults in the culture medium, the number ...
Effect of the presence of brood and fungus on the nest architecture and digging activity of Acromyrmex subterraneus Forel (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)
(Soc Brasileira Entomologia, 2017-01-01)
This study investigated the stimuli that trigger digging behavior inAcromyrmex subterraneus during nest building. The hypothesis was that the presence of the fungus garden and/or brood triggers the excavation of tunnels ...
Digging effort in leaf-cutting ant queens (Atta sexdens rubropilosa) and its effects on survival and colony growth during the claustral phase
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2011-02-01)
Nest foundation in the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens is claustral, and the single queen completely relies on its body reserves throughout, approximately, 9 weeks until the first workers emerge and initiate foraging. Nest ...

A matter of choice: Substrate preference by burrow-digging males of a sand-dwelling spider
(Springer Tokyo, 2018-09)
Animals may build refuges to avoid predation, to communicate, to mate, and to protect against extreme temperatures, among other factors. Allocosa senex is a wolf spider that constructs burrows in the coastal sand dunes of ...
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. ...
