The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest
Insect 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 ...

Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

First Report of Incisitermes minor (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) in Louisiana
The Florida Entomologist, 2000 On 9 June 1998, drywood termite alates, soldiers, and pseudergates were collected from inside a dead limb of a living Arizona ash, Fraxinus uelutina Torr., tree inside 31acre Louis Armstrong Park, which is located immediately northwest of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana.

A new insect boring in fossil wood from the Iranian Upper Cretaceous
Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September/October 2025.Abstract Here we describe Iranichnus farsensis igen. et isp. nov., a bioerosion trace in fossil wood characterized by a system of sinuous channels in the wood under the bark, also bearing small borings radially oriented within the channels. We attributed this to insects, most probably a beetle from one of the groups known to feed on wood just under the

Body size and evolutionary rate analyses reveal complex evolutionary history of Alvarezsauria
Cladistics, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 135-155, February 2025.Abstract Some of the smallest examples of dinosaurian body size are from alvarezsaurians, an enigmatic group of maniraptoran coelurosaurians with a peculiar combination of anatomical features unique among theropods. Despite the large number of alvarezsaurian species described worldwide and the increased understanding this has provided, the body‐size ...

Virus-Like Symptoms in a Termite (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) Field Colony
Florida Entomologist, 2013 The concept behind the use of biological control agents against termites was based on the assumption that epizootic events can occur naturally in a termite colony. However, no reports ever mentioned the occurrence of epizootic in natural field conditions in any termite species.

Body Size and Symmetry Properties of Termite Soldiers Under Two Intraspecific Competition Scenarios
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Single-piece nesting termites live and forage in the same piece of wood throughout their life, which limit their colony size. In certain species, more than one colony thrive in a given piece of wood (multicolonial substrate) and intraspecific competition
