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.

Comparative Expression Analysis of Olfactory Receptor Genes Among Individuals With Soldier and Worker Caste Differentiation Fates in Termites. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the role of chemosensory gene expression in caste differentiation of the damp‐wood termite Zootermopsis nevadensis. Gene expression analyses revealed that third‐instar larvae destined to become workers exhibited significantly higher expression of key olfactory receptor genes in their antennae, suggesting that differences in chemosensory

Distribution of Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Mississippi [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2007 An extensive monitoring and survey program in Mississippi was conducted from 2000 to 2004 to investigate the distribution of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). Seventy-two towns from 22 counties in southern Mississippi were monitored with a total of 3914 traps that catch alates during the ...

Nest observations reveal hygienic nest architecture and behavior in an Arctic bumble bee species
Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Many bumble bee species are declining worldwide. Disease and habitat loss are two contributors to these declines, yet little is known about disease transmission within bumble bee colonies or bumble bee nesting habitat requirements. These gaps are especially wide for Arctic species, as prior bumble bee research focuses disproportionately on the
