Many animals live in nests with a complex three-dimensional structure that may significantly influence their behavior. However, the inaccessibility of nest interiors means that behavior within them often goes unobserved. The social networks of bats, for example, depend on interactions at roosting sites (Wilkinson et al. 2019), but only recently have their spatial configurations and social interactions within natural tree hollow nests been described (Ripperger et al. 2019).

许多动物生活在具有复杂三维结构的巢穴中，这可能会显着影响它们的行为。然而，巢穴内部的不可接近性意味着它们内部的行为经常不被观察到。例如，蝙蝠的社交网络依赖于栖息地的互动（Wilkinson 等人，2019 年），但直到最近才描述了它们在天然树空心巢内的空间配置和社交互动（Ripperger 等人，2019 年）。
