Article Evaluation
The article being evaluated is titled "Habituation".

Everything mentioned in this article seems relevant to the subject. It gives a clear definition of what habituation is, how it occurs, the history of its research as well as theories about why it occurs. A neutral tone is used throughout the article and information is coming from sources and research that has been reviewed by others.The article also mentions characteristics of habituation that have been updated, showing that the research appears to be up to date. References are present but more needs to be added to the article to further support many of the statements made. However, links to references worked, redirecting the page to the appropriate article or website. The article also fails to accurately cover habituation from an expert psychological point of view, and only covers it from a biological perspective. This is something that needs to be worked on to improve this page. This article is part of a psychology wikiproject. It is rated "start-class" and "high-importance" on the wikiproject. It also shows that an expert is needed in this field to contribute to the page. The talk page has wikipedians talking about the edits they've made (most recently editing external links) as well as distinguishing concepts that could be explained differently. In summary, this article has a good base, but needs to be improved on in many different aspects.

Description
In addition, nesting also provides protection against predators or competitors of the same species. Aids in family structure and is therefore influenced by social settings and mating behaviour. Nesting instinct is mostly observed in pregnant females but can also be observed in male and non-pregnant females. Threats, such as predators, that decrease the chance of survival will increase care of offspring. This includes nesting behaviours, as superior nests will provide better protection for infants. In sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus) males who tend to at least some of their eggs build nests with small entrances. This helps prevent predators from entering the nest and consuming the offspring or developing eggs.

Bees
Solitary bees, like honey bees, make nests. However, solitary bees make individual nests for larvae. Solitary bees will burrow into the ground, dead wood and plants.

Rodents
Nesting instinct aids in thermoregulation and is a necessary component of parental care by providing the incoming infants with a suitable habitat. Some rodent species often make microclimates in their burrows. Alzheimer's Disease actually shows impairments in the nesting ability of rats, especially females. These impairments become exaggerated with age and progression of the disease.
