Comparison of Coptotermes formosanus and Coptotermes gestroi (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) Field Sites and Seasonal Foraging Activity in Hawaii [PDF]
Sociobiology, 2014 Field surveys were carried out from January 2010 to June 2011 to record the environmental properties of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and C. gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) field sites on the island of Oahu, Hawaii; and to document ...

Differential Responses of the Ant Odontoponera transversa to Termite Chemical Signals: Evidence for Prey Preference [PDF]
InsectsPredators can exploit chemical signals of social insects to locate prey. Ants are considered as major predators of termites, and the interactions between them have been shaped by a long evolutionary history.

Genome Sequences of Microviruses Associated with Coptotermes formosanus. [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2019 Termites have a unique ability to effectively digest lignocellulose with the help of mutualistic symbionts. While gut bacteria and protozoa have been relatively well characterized in termites, the virome remains largely unexplored.

In Silico Screening of Plant-Derived Termiticidal Compounds Targeting Cytochrome P450 in Coptotermes spp. (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) for Sustainable Termite Management [PDF]
PlantsTermites of the genus Coptotermes are among the most destructive structural pests worldwide, owing to their efficient lignocellulose degradation and metabolic adaptability mediated in part by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Although numerous botanical compounds

miR-701 modulates the humoral immune response of Coptotermes formosanus against Metarhizium anisopliae. [PDF]
Insect ScimiR‐701 targets immune gene Toll4 to inhibit termite cellular immunity. miR‐701 overexpression increases termite mortality during fungal infection. miR‐701 suppresses termite cellular immune to fungi by inhibiting the Toll signaling pathway. Abstract Termites are not only social insects but also significant global insect pests.

Comparative Patterns of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Diversity in Termites Across Castes and Nesting Life Types. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles in termites show strong ecological structuring across life type, climate, and caste, based on a comparative analysis of published datasets. Despite this ecological signal, phylogenetic patterns are weak, indicating high evolutionary lability relative to other social insects.

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 (
