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

Mitochondrial 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.

Moderately thinning encroaching shrub species is key to balancing rangeland restoration and arthropod biodiversity conservation in Namibia

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Moderate manual thinning (50F) maintained arthropod diversity comparable to untreated controls while reducing shrub dominance, demonstrating that structural heterogeneity buffers biodiversity loss during rangeland restoration in Namibian bush‐encroached systems. These findings advocate mosaic debushing strategies that preserve vegetation complexity and

The complete mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes periflaviceps (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The mitochondrial genome of the Reticulitermes periflaviceps contains 15,925 bp of nucleotide in length including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transport RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a non-coding region. The overall A + T among the genome sequence is 65.64%.

Habitat Loss Shapes Isotopic Niche Responses of a Didelphid Opossum to Fragmentation in Neotropical Semideciduous Dry Forests of Central Brazil

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Stable isotope analysis indicates that fragmentation and habitat loss in semideciduous dry forests in the Brazilian Cerrado drive trophic niche shifts in Gracilinanus agilis, with potential consequences for its role as a seed disperser. ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation have notable effects on species' trophic ecology, often most pronounced in ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

A systematic review on research trends and commercialised entomopathogenic nematodes: A global perspective

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 298-313, May 2026.
Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

Vegetation type mediates how urbanization reshapes the structure, function, and spatial variation of soil food webs

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 956-968, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization represents one of the major anthropogenic alterations of the Earth's surface, with significant impacts on biodiversity and its functions. Soil animals are essential components of biodiversity, and their trophic interactions play integral roles in the ...

CASTE COMPOSITION OF TWO SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE SPECIES, Anacanthotermes ochraceus (Burmeister) (ISOPTERA: HODOTERMITIDAE) AND Psammotermes hybostoma (Desneux) (ISOPTERA : RHINOTERMITIDAE) [PDF]

Fayoum Journal of Agricultural Research and Development, 2009
The caste composition of the two subterranean termite species,Anacanthotermes ochraceus (Burmeister) (Isoptera: Hodotermitidae)and Psammotermes hybostoma (Desneux) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)was studied throughout two successive years at El-Fayoum ...

Requirement of group I lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase for turnover of chitinous cuticle during moulting in two forest pest beetles, Monochamus alternatus and Psacothea hilaris

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 115-125, April 2026.
Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.
