Groundwater Changes the Climate Niche of an Amazonian Mound‐Building Termite

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Rainfall is a major dimension of species climate niches. It has been proposed that groundwater can change species responses to rainfall by creating ‘hydrological refugia’ under a drier climate. However, the available evidence is conflicting and biased towards plants.

Pesticide Treated Sawdust and Early Planting Salvage Maize Yield Through Reduction of Termite Infestation and Damage

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Termites (Isoptera: Termitidae) infestation is a key constraint to maize production in Uganda. This study was conducted to determine the effect of integrating planting time and imidacloprid‐treated wood sawdust in the control of termites. Three experiments were established at Ikulwe Satellite Station in Mayuge in 2017B, 2018A, and 2018B in a randomized

Comparison of gut morphology and distribution of trehalase activity in the gut of wood-feeding and fungus-growing termites (Isoptera: Termitidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
Termites are important decomposer due to their ability to digest cellulose and their diverse feeding habits. Trehalase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes trehalose to glucose in insects and has an important biological role.

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the subterranean termite, Reticulitermes kanmonensis Takematsu, 1999 (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
We have determined the mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes kanmonensis Takematsu, 1999. The total length of the R. kanmonensis is 16,484 bp with 66.1% A + T content. It consists of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes and an A + T–rich control region.
