Although all make nests of mud, these can be built as pots above ground or within galleries. Here, observations on nesting and provisioning in M. brethesi are made for the first time and strongly suggest communal nesting. This agrees with previous observations on M. cortesioides, but contrasts with reports from M. pelagica, a supposedly closely related species.171-173engSocialityMud nestsOdyneriniProgressive provisioningParental careArtigo10.1007/s00040-018-0659-yWOS:000459790000018Acesso aberto
