The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Coptotermes ‘suzhouensis’ (syn. Coptotermes formosanus) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) and Molecular Phylogeny Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2018 Coptotermes suzhouensis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a significant subterranean termite pest of wooden structures and is widely distributed in southeastern China. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of C. suzhouensis was analyzed in this study. The mitogenome was a circular molecule of 15,764 bp in length, which contained 13 protein-coding genes (

Phylogeography of Coptotermes gestroi and Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Taiwan [PDF]
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2009 Abstract The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), is primarily reported from subtropical and warm temperate regions, whereas Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) is reported from many areas of the tropics. Taiwan is one of a few areas where the distributions of the two species overlap.

Assessment of Genetic Markers for the Determination ofCoptotermes formosanus×Coptotermes gestroi(Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) F1 Hybrids [PDF]
Florida Entomologist, 2017 Summary This study investigated nuclear markers in Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) that can be used as a diagnostic tool to detect F1 hybrids from field samples. Six microsatellite markers were compatible for both parental species and hybrid termites and were optimized so that a standard gene

Altered Mobility and Accumulation of Inefficient Workers in Juvenile Hybrid Termite Colonies
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Hybridization of two different species is an important mechanism to have gene flows between species. Recently, mating of two economically important invasive species of subterranean termites (Coptotermes formosanus and Coptotermes gestroi) have been ...

A Fungus Parasitic on Coptotermes curvignathus, Holmgr. [PDF]
Nature, 1947 During the course of some observations designed to determine the most suitable conditions for maintaining the workers of Coptotermes curvignathus (the termite pest of Hevea brasiliensis) in captivity, the development of an unusually high death-rate in one of the treatments led to an examination which disclosed that the insects had been parasitized by ...
