      abstract = {Nest building is observed in a wide variety of rodents to  provide shelter and as a means to thermoregulate in  changing environmental conditions. Motivation and ability  to build a functioning nest are therefore critical to  health and survival and monitoring nesting can illuminate  problems in normal functioning. Tests to quantify nesting  are quick, easy, and capture behaviors inherent to an  animal's day-to-day routine. Better understanding the  specific nest building behaviors of prairie voles may  provide an early or more subtle indication of impaired  functional outcomes, for example in routine post-operative  procedures, and that interventions may be needed to prevent  the progression of disease.},
