Mechanical and thermal properties of mud dauber nests under atmospheric drying
Abstract Mud dauber wasps construct soil nests to protect their offspring from predators, extreme temperatures, and rainwater. The mechanical and thermal properties of these nests are important for the reproductive success of mud daubers. The previous study showed that the high densities and strengt...
