متن کاملMaternal hatching synchronization in a subsocial burrower bug mitigates the risk of future sibling cannibalism

We reported previously that a unique vibrational behavior shown by the mother of the subsocial burrower bug, Adomerus rotundus (Heteroptera: Cydnidae), induced synchronous hatching. Maternal regulation may be one of the most effective ...
