Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.This study extracted edible oil and chitosan using both chemical and green extraction techniques, from four species of edible winged termites. Yield and efficiency of the extraction techniques were compared, the extracted products characterized for physico‐chemical properties, and the antimicrobial ability of chitosan assessed against a gram‐positive ...

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.

Rotten to the core? Drivers of the vertical profile and accumulation of internal tree stem damage
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 1908-1922, August 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trees are important above‐ground carbon sinks in savanna ecosystems, yet consumption of internal wood by decomposers (e.g. termites and microbes) creates uncertainties in tree biomass accounting.
