Nitrogen content of the exuviae of Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

Heliyon, 2021
Subterranean termites are hemimetabolous social insects where most of the individuals in a colony molt on a regular basis until they die. Nitrogen is a limiting growth factor in wood-feeding insects, such as termites.

Metagenomic 16S rRNA Amplicon Data of Gut Microbial Diversity in Three Species of Subterranean Termites (Coptotermes gestroi, Globitermes sulphureus and Macrotermes gilvus) [PDF]

Data in Brief, 2023
In this paper, we present the metagenomic dataset of gut microbial DNA of the lower group of subterranean termites, i.e. Coptotermes gestroi, and the higher groups, i.e. Globitermes sulphureus and Macrotermes gilvus, in Penang, Malaysia.

Morphometric Analysis of Coptotermes spp. Soldier Caste (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) in Indonesia and Evidence of Coptotermes gestroi Extreme Head-Capsule Shapes [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Linear and geometric morphometrics approaches were conducted to analyze the head capsule (HC) shape of collected soldier caste specimens of Coptotermes from various locations in Indonesia. The soldiers’ morphology was observed and measured.

Expanding the knowledge on lignocellulolytic and redox enzymes of worker and soldier castes from the lower termite Coptotermes gestroi [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Termites are considered one of the most efficient decomposers of lignocelluloses on Earth due to their ability to produce, along with its microbial symbionts, a repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes).

Concentration-Dependent Feeding Deterrence to 20-Hydroxyecdysone for Three Subterranean Termite Species (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Effective active ingredients in toxicant bait formulations must be non-deterrent to insect feeding behavior at lethal concentrations. This study evaluated feeding deterrence for Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, C.
