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 ...

Screening of reference genes for expression analysis in the study of soldier caste differentiation of Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is a serious pest worldwide. Juvenile hormone analog (and its analogs such as methoprene) can induce the transformation of the worker caste into soldier caste in C. formosanus.

Peritrophic Matrix of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Florida Entomologist, 2006 The peritrophic matrix of workers of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) was studied from stained histological sections. Termites were decapitated, fixed in a mixture of paraformaldehyde- glutaraldehyde, embedded in epoxy, sectioned at 1 μm thickness, and stained. Our observations showed the presence of structures in the anterior

Evolutionary implications of a deep‐time perspective on insect pollination
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1452-1466, August 2025.ABSTRACT Plant pollination by insects represents one of the most transformative and iconic ecological relationships in the natural world. Despite tens of thousands of papers, as well as numerous books, on pollination biology published over the past 200 years, most studies focused on the fossil record of pollinating insects have only been published in ...
