Morfologia Comparada Da Subfamília Apicotermitinae: Buscando Caracteres Para Identificação De Novos Táxons

, 2017
Apicotermitinae (Termitidae) compreende cupins que na Região Neotropical não contam com a casta de soldados e apesar da sua relevância ecológica foi taxonomicamente pouco estudada. Neste trabalho adotou-se um recorte que compreende as fitofisionomias da Mata Atlântica Ombrófila Densa, a fim de abranger um grande número de táxons possibilitando um ...

New Species of Grigiotermes (Apicotermitinae, Termitidae) from the Northern Atlantic Forest, Delimited by Morphological and Molecular Data

Sociobiology
In this paper, we described a new species of Grigiotermes, G. piassava sp. n., from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The imago and worker caste are described, including the gut morphology. The inclusion of the new species in Grigiotermes was based on morphological and DNA data. Apparently, the distribution of the species is limited to the northern region

Phylogeny, diversity and feeding ecology in the termite subfamily Apicotermitinae

, 2020
Les sols représentent un habitat essentiel pour une grande diversité d'invertébrés. Parmi ceux-ci, les termitessont considérés comme des ingénieurs de l'écosystème, pour leur impact sur le cycle des nutriments ainsique sur le fonctionnement du sol. Ce rôle écologique majeur est du fait entre autres de la grande diversitéde leur régime alimentaire.

Chasitermes tupan, a New Species of Apicotermitinae (Blattodea, Termitidae) from the Amazon Rainforest, with Addition to the Diagnosis of the Genus

Sociobiology
Most genera of Apicotermitinae described in the Neotropics are still regarded as monotypic. In this paper, we describe a second species for the so far monotypic genus Chasitermes: Chasitermes tupan sp. nov., discovered in the Amazon Rainforest. The worker is characterized by external features, such as a strongly dilated tibia, and internal features ...

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.

Estudo Comparado Da Secreção Em Órgãos Deiscentes De Três Espécies De Ruptitermes (Isoptera, Termitidae, Apicotermitinae)

, 2017
Durante a evolução dos Isoptera, os Apicotermitinae Neotropicais perderam a casta de soldados. O gênero \textit{Ruptitermes}, incluso em Apicotermitinae, possui operários que forrageiam à noite na serrapilheira. Como defesa, estes operários suicidas possuem dois órgãos defensivos característicos e rompem a parede do corpo eliminando um líquido que se ...
