Nest-use Behavior

Nest-Use Behavior is a behavioral metric that quantifies the extent and pattern of an animal's utilization of nesting materials or nest structures, distinguishing it from general locomotor or affiliative behaviors by its specific functional association with thermoregulation, comfort, and species-typical reproductive or resting activities within controlled welfare assessment contexts.
