The Complete Protist Symbiont Communities of Coptotermes formosanus and Coptotermes gestroi: Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Five New Species

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2020
AbstractCoptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattoidea: Rhinotermitidae) are invasive subterranean termite pest species with a major global economic impact. However, the descriptions of the mutualistic protist communities harbored in their respective hindguts remain fragmentary. The C.

Swarming of the termiteCoptotermes gestroiin north-eastern Puducherry

Zoology and Ecology, 2014
The pattern of swarming of the termite Coptotermes gestroi was studied in a thickly wooded 780 acre campus of Pondicherry University, located about 12 km north of downtown Puducherry, India. In four years, C. gestroi swarms occurred 17 times of which 14 occurred in June and the remaining three in the first half of July.
