The same data also produced estimates of nestmate relatedness, allelic richness per nest, between-nest genetic differentiation, and the size of multiple-nest colonies (maximum distance between nests that clustered in Bayesian analysis).
This study focuses on Platythyrea conradti, an arboreal ponerine ant from the tribe Platythyreini that generally nests between the bark of its host trees and epiphytic ferns [33].
It feeds on roots, leaves, stems and seed-heads, and the species nests between late September and early November on the Falklands, but later on the mainland.
White storks from Europe and Asia leave their nests between July and September on epic journeys to Africa, some travelling as far as 5,000 miles to the the south of the continent, the scientists report in the journal Science Advances.
We used a binary distribution, a logit-link function (constraining DSR of nests between 0 and 1), and a variance components-covariance structure for random effects (Appendix 1).
Only floss or other interdental devices can break up the plaque nests between the teeth.
so observations were made at 20 ant nests between 22.00 and 02.00, when the spiders were most abundant.
In addition, we found no significant differences in the proportions of grasses, leaves, mosses, and hard grasses/sticks in nests between sites (χ23 = 3.8, P = 0.29, Fig. 4C).
Finally, to understand how these preferences differed at a larger spatial scale, we tested for differences in aromatic plant species composition of nests between distinct study sites (i.e. between distinct groups of adjacent territories).
For each reciprocal cross-foster event, the two nests between which chicks were transferred was referred to as a 'block' of nests.
