Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Cryptotermes domesticus (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae): Genome description and phylogenetic implications. [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem Physiol, 2023 This study sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Cryptotermes domesticus and reveal its mitogenomic characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods based on 13 protein‐coding genes, and the monophyly of Kalotermitidae was supported.

A Novel Lineage of Endosymbiotic Actinomycetales: Genome Reduction and Acquisition of New Functions in Bifidobacteriaceae Associated With Termite Gut Flagellates. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolWe have characterised several novel genera of Bifidobacteriaceae that colonise the cytoplasm of cellulolytic flagellates. Horizontal gene transfer played an important role in their adaptation to the intracellular environment. However, progressive genome erosion led to the loss of biosynthetic capacities that formed the basis of an originally ...

The termite genus Glyptotermes (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae) from Paraguay [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 A 2012 termite expedition yielded the first species of Glyptotermes known from Paraguay, G. hickmani sp. nov. and G. canellae (Müller, 1873), the latter previously known from Argentina and Brazil. Both are described based on the soldier and imago castes.

Male‐specific alleles in the Ryukyu drywood termite Neotermes sugioi [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Sex‐determination systems often show remarkable diversity in upstream signals, although downstream genes are broadly conserved. Therefore, the downstream genes have been investigated in various taxa, but the most upstream signals determining sex in ...

Roisinitermes ebogoensis gen. & sp. n., an outstanding drywood termite with snapping soldiers from Cameroon (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 Termites have developed a wide array of defensive mechanisms. One of them is the mandibulate soldier caste that crushes or pierces their enemies. However, in several lineages of Termitinae, soldiers have long and slender mandibles that cannot bite but ...
