The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Coptotermes 'suzhouensis' (syn. Coptotermes formosanus) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) and Molecular Phylogeny Analysis. [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 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 (

Life and Death of Termite Colonies, a Decades-Long Age Demography Perspective
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 A eusocial insect colony represents a complex biological entity that must ensure degrees of perennity once it reaches maturity (production of dispersing imagoes over many successive years) to optimize its reproductive success.

Influence of fungal odor on grooming behavior of the termite, Coptotermes formosanus. [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2010 The termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) protects itself from entomopathogenic fungus by mutual grooming behavior. C. formosanus removes foreign organisms, such as fungal conidia, from the body surface of its nestmates by mutual grooming behavior and eating them.
