Maternal care in the burrowing bugs (Insecta: Heteroptera: Cydnidae) - an example of increase of progeny fitness in the insects
Kazda, Vojtěch ; Vilímová, Jitka (advisor) ; Raška, Jan (referee)
This study is engaged in subsocial insect order of true bugs (Heteroptera) from the family Cydnidae, taxon Pentatomomorpha. True bugs of the family Cydnidae exhibit interesting parental behavior complex, which is composed of egg clutch and nymphs defense against predators, production of trophic eggs and food provisioning. This behavior could be an evidence of hypothesis that energetically demanding parental care is in the taxon Pentatomorpha an ancestral character which was replaced in the evolution by less expensive offspring protection strategies. The study also summarizes current knowledge of the parental care occurrence in the taxon Heteroptera. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
