Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1112-1122, October 2025.We analyzed the role of foraging signals in an important neotropical nasute termite species, including the effect of various gland and caste origins of foraging signals, the response of groups with distinct caste compositions, and intercolonial perception of these signals.

Ants do not prey upon an extrafloral‐nectar‐feeding predatory mite
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 876-885, October 2025.The predatory mite Amblyseius herbicolus is an important natural enemy of various crop pests and occurs in agroforestry coffee systems, where it feeds on the extrafloral nectar of Inga trees. Because extrafloral nectaries are often vigorously defended by ants, we tested whether ants would attack and kill the mites near nectaries.

Morphological phylogenetics of termites (Isoptera) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2000 Isoptera (termites) are an ecologically important order, with both a high abundance and biomass in tropical ecosystems. However, there have been few phylogenetic hypotheses for termites, and we present here the first comprehensive cladistic analysis for the group.

Symbiosis and Phylogenesis in the Isoptera [PDF]
Nature, 1952 SOME years ago—in 1924—I discovered bacteriocytes in the fat tissue of an Australian termite, Mastotermes darwiniensis, and I fully realized the phylogenetic significance of this discovery. My interpretation was confirmed by the researches of Kock, a pupil of Buchner.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1383-1397, July 2025.This study reveals strong, diverse associations between soil phosphorus and the abundances of understorey arthropods across a lowland tropical forest landscape. These patterns were not paralleled in an adjacent site‐level fertilisation experiment, raising the interesting possibility that arthropod–phosphorus associations could be mediated by spatial ...
