Trophic eggs compensate for poor offspring feeding capacity in a subsocial burrower bug. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2011 Various animals produce inviable eggs or egg-like structures called trophic eggs, which are presumed to be an extended maternal investment for the offspring. However, there is little knowledge about the ecological or physiological constraints associated with their evolutionary origin.

The burrower bug Macroscytus japonensis (Hemiptera: Cydnidae) acquires obligate symbiotic bacteria from the environment. [PDF]
Zoological LettAbstractMany plant-feeding stinkbugs belonging to the infraorder Pentatomomorpha possess a specialized symbiotic organ at the posterior end of the midgut, in which mutualistic bacterial symbionts are harbored extracellularly. In species of the superfamily Pentatomoidea, these symbionts typically are verticallytransmitted from host mothers to offspring,

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 ...
