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 ...
Influence of burrow acoustics on sound reception by frogs Eupsophus (Leptodactylidae)
(Academic Press, 1996)
The effect of burrow acoustics on the reception of sounds by a leptodactylid frog, Eupsophus emiliopugini, from Southern Chile was investigated. Burrows occupied by E. emiliopugini males amplified vocalizations produced ...
Extended amplification of acoustic signals by amphibian burrows
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Animals relying on acoustic signals for communication must cope with the constraints imposed by the environment for sound propagation. A resource to improve signal broadcast is the ...
Issues to Be Considered in Counting Burrows as a Measure of Atlantic Ghost Crab Populations, an Important Bioindicator of Sandy Beaches
(San Francisco, 2013-12)
The use of indirect estimates of ghost-crab populations to assess beach disturbance has several advantages, including non-destructiveness, ease and low cost, although this strategy may add some degree of noise to estimates ...
Excavations of giant armadillos alter environmental conditions and provide new resources for a range of animals in their southernmost range
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-05)
Burrowing species can be considered important ecosystem engineers that increase landscape heterogeneity, create subterranean shelters and provide foraging opportunities. We measured and described different aspects of giant ...
Distribution and use of burrows and tunnels of Chaetophractus villosus (Mammalia, Xenarthra) in the eastern Argentinean pampas
(Springer, 2005-03)
Burrows and tunnels built by Chaetophractus villosus (Desmarest, 1804) (hairy armadillo) were studied in a farming area located in the Argentinean pampas, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Fifty-six structures were selected ...
Burrow characteristics and habitat associations of armadillos in Brazil and the United States of America

Influence of grain size on burrowing and alongshore distribution of the yellow clam (Amarilladesma mactroides)
(Natl Shellfisheries Assoc, 2015-10)
The yellow clam Amarilladesma mactroides (Reeve, 1854), is an intertidal species that prospers mainly on dissipative sandy beaches along the temperate Atlantic coast of South America, from Brazil to Argentina (24–41 S). ...
Independence of evoked vocal responses from stimulus direction in burrowing frogs Eupsophus (Leptodactylidae)
(2007)
Localization of a sound source is important for animals in mating contexts: females generally orient towards signalling males, and males can estimate the position and quality of potential rivals. In anurans, the effect of ...
