Comparative Patterns of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Diversity in Termites Across Castes and Nesting Life Types

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cuticular 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.

Details of the digestive system in the midgut of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki

Journal of Wood Science, 2010
Wood-feeding termites have evolved an efficient cellulose-decomposing system. The termite has two independent cellulose-digesting systems: one in the midgut and the other in the hindgut. Because the digestion system in the midgut should be the sole source of soluble sugars for the host termite, the details of the decomposition of wood particles in the ...

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal‐Mediated Dispersal

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Sketching microprotein portraits

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The illustrations of intricate molecular machineries inside cells created by David Goodsell continue to inspire the scientific community. Here, we aim to extend his artworks to include microproteins, a newly recognized class of small proteins with less than 100 amino acids, encoded by small open reading frames.

Molecular Phylogenetic Diversity of the Bacterial Community in the Gut of the TermiteCoptotermes formosanus [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2005
The phylogenetic diversity of the bacterial community in the gut of the termite Coptotermes formosanus was investigated using a 16S rRNA gene clone library constructed by PCR. After screening by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, 49 out of 261 clones with unique RFLP patterns were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed.

Using Radon (222Rn) to Trace Variability in Greenhouse Gas Emission From Tree Stems Across Species, Seasons and Stem Heights

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Emissions from trees are an important component of the global methane (CH4) cycle, but their spatial origins (soil vs. in‐stem), transport pathways and environmental influences are not well constrained. To address these issues, this field study characterized spatial and temporal variability in stem emissions of biologically inert radon (222Rn),

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.

Distribution of a Non‐Native Amphibian in Britain Explained by a Complex History of Introductions and Translocations

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Success in a biological invasion often depends on whether the non‐native species can disperse from its introduction site and spread across the invaded landscape. The alpine newt, Ichthyosaura alpestris, has achieved a widespread distribution in Britain in the last century, with new records continuously reported. The objective of this study
