Seasonal and Daily Patterns in Activity of the Western Drywood Termite, Incisitermes minor (Hagen)
Activity of colonies of the western drywood termite, Incisitermes minor, was measured with acoustic emission (AE) technology in five loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) logs. Termite activity, whether it was feeding, excavation or movement, was monitored for 11

Abstract Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae) is one of the most destructive drywood termites that attack moisture‐protected timber in service. Heat treatment has been studied to control these termites, but the low thermal conductivity of wood can result in prolonged treatment times and the need for high temperatures to eliminate ...

Body Size and Symmetry Properties of Termite Soldiers Under Two Intraspecific Competition Scenarios
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

Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies
The evolution of obligate asexuality is thought to be prevented in animals whose males play crucial roles beyond the contribution of gametes. While obligate asexuality had not until recently been observed in termites whose colonies commonly comprise both male and female reproductives, workers, and soldiers, all‐female asexual populations of the termite

We assessed the long‐standing hypothesis that chemical profile complexity increases with levels of sociality in the insect order Blattodea investigating solitary as well as eusocial species. Strikingly, we could not confirm any consistent correlative patterns between chemical, transcriptomic, and social complexity.

Updated classification of the phylum Parabasalia
Abstract The phylum Parabasalia includes very diverse single‐cell organisms that nevertheless share a distinctive set of morphological traits. Most are harmless or beneficial gut symbionts of animals, but some have turned into parasites in other body compartments, the most notorious example being Trichomonas vaginalis in humans.
