The Unusual Neotenic System of the Asian Dry Wood Termite, Neotermes koshunensis (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) [PDF]
Sociobiology, 2013 In most lower termites, colonies are headed by neotenic reproductives of both sexes after the primary reproductives (i.e., the queen and king) are lost.

Comparative Patterns of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Diversity in Termites Across Castes and Nesting Life Types. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles in termites show strong ecological structuring across life type, climate, and caste, based on a comparative analysis of published datasets. Despite this ecological signal, phylogenetic patterns are weak, indicating high evolutionary lability relative to other social insects.

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 ...

Rugitermesursulae (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae), a new drywood termite from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2021 Rugitermes ursulaesp. nov. is described from a sample collected inside a dead branch in a tropical dry forest of Colombia’s Caribbean coast using molecular information and external morphological characters of the imago and soldier castes. Rugitermes ursulaesp. nov. soldiers and imagoes are the smallest among all described Rugitermes species.

Three new species of Rugitermes (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae) from Peru and Bolivia. [PDF]
Zookeys, 2020 The soldier of Rugitermes aridussp. nov. is described from a xeric, termite-depauperate region of central Peru. Rugitermes rufussp. nov. and R. volcanensissp. nov. are described from soldiers and dealated imagos collected in a mesic forest of Amboró National Park in western Bolivia. The imago of R. rufus is unique among all described Rugitermes species
