Dear all,
On behalf of my co-authors, I would like to announce our new paper
entitled 'Egg-Cracking Vibration as a Cue for Stink Bug Siblings to
Synchronize Hatching' in Current Biology.

Egg-Cracking Vibration as a Cue for Stink Bug Siblings to Synchronize
Hatching
https://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdf/S0960-9822(18)31490-8.pdf
Highlights:
• During the hatching of a stink bug, egg cracking generates a single
pulsed vibration
• Fully developed embryos immediately start hatching when receiving the
vibration
• The vibration widely spreads across a clutch and induces its explosive
hatching
• Synchronized hatching crucial for survival is achieved using the
vibration as a cue
Our paper is kindly introduced by Dr. Peggy Hill as Dispatches.
