由于不同的育雏细胞供应策略，筑巢昆虫可能会有所不同，在何种程度上，成年人定期提供延长父母照顾他们的育雏巢防御之外。大量供应的物种在产卵之前将幼虫发育所需的全部食物供应储存起来，并且通常密封育雏室。通常认为，成虫和幼仔之间没有定期的接触。在这里，我们表明，蜜蜂，Megalopta genalis，表达了一种形式的神秘的育雏护理，这将不会在正常的发展过程中观察到。在实验性地将不同的供应材料注射到育雏细胞中之后，foundresses重新打开了操作的细胞，并且在某些情况下育雏被中止，这意味着foundresses评估了细胞内的条件。在败育的细胞中，母蜂有时会在第一次去除死幼虫、先前储存的花粉和污染物后产下第二个卵。我们的研究结果表明，卫生育雏护理可以是神秘的，因此可能比以前认为的更广泛，贷款支持的假设，即延长父母的照顾是一个预适应对eusociality。本文的在线版本（doi：10.1007/s 00040 -015-0409-3）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
As a result of different brood cell provisioning strategies, nest-making insects may differ in the extent to which adults regularly provide extended parental care to their brood beyond nest defense. Mass-provisioning species cache the entire food supply needed for larval development prior to the oviposition and typically seal the brood cell. It is usually assumed that there is no regular contact between the adult(s) and brood. Here, we show that the bee, Megalopta genalis, expresses a form of cryptic brood care, which would not be observed during normal development. Following experimental injections of different provisioning materials into brood cells, foundresses reopened manipulated cells and the brood were aborted in some cases, implying that the foundresses assessed conditions within the cells. In aborted cells, foundresses sometimes laid a second egg after first removing dead larvae, previously stored pollen and contaminants. Our results show that hygienic brood care can be cryptic and hence may be more widespread than previously believed, lending support to the hypothesis that extended parental care is a preadaptation toward eusociality.
