Maternal hatching synchronization in a subsocial burrower bug mitigates the risk of future sibling cannibalism. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 AbstractSibling cannibalism—the killing and consumption of conspecifics within broods—carries a high risk of direct and inclusive fitness loss for parents and offspring. We reported previously that a unique vibrational behavior shown by the mother of the subsocial burrower bug,Adomerus rotundus(Heteroptera: Cydnidae), induced synchronous hatching ...
