Buildings promote higher incubation temperatures and reduce nest attentiveness in a Neotropical thrush
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-07-09)
Incubation is an energetically costly parental task of breeding birds. Incubating parents respond to environmental variation and nest-site features to adjust the balance between the time spent incubating (i.e. nest ...
Building multiple nests is associated with reduced breeding performance in a south temperate population of Grass Wrens Cistothorus platensis platensis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-01)
Grass Wrens Cistothorus platensis build two types of non-breeding nest structures: platforms and dummy nests. Platforms are rudimentary accumulations of grasses concealed between vegetation. Dummy and breeding nests are ...
Breeding biology and nest site characteristics of the scarlet ibis in southeastern Brazil
(2001-04-01)
The breeding biology of the only Scarlet Ibis Eudocimus ruber colony in southeastern Brazil was studied during the 1996-97 breeding season. The ibises began to visit their colony site by mid-September. Nest building and ...

Escalated aggressive behaviour and facultative parental care in the nest building gladiator frog, Hyla faber
(1998-02-01)
Agonistic encounters and facultative parental care in Hyla faber were observed in two localities in southeastern Brazil. Maximum male density was 0.9 and 3.3 males/m2 in Campinas and Ribeirão Branco, respectively. Aggression ...
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 ...
Human waste used as nesting material affects nest cooling in the clay-colored thrush
(2021-09-01)
The internal temperature of nests largely depends on the materials used in their construction because the characteristics of each material affect the isolation of nest walls. In urban environments, the availability of
natural ...
Female neophobia predicts the use of buildings as nesting sites in a Neotropical songbird
(2022-01-01)
Neophobia (i.e. the degree of avoidance to novel situations) is a personality trait that may predict the ability to exploit new resources, which potentially affects the success of settlement of urban animal populations. ...
Nest Architecture Development of Grass-Cutting Ants, Atta capiguara (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(Soc Brasileira Entomologia, 2020-01-01)
Atta capiguara grass-cutting ants are commonly found in the Cerrado biome, in open fields. Although grass-cutting ants build giant nests, little has been elucidated about this building pattern and when chambers and tunnels ...
