Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies
Population Ecology, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 219-231, October 2024.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

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.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
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 4, July/August 2024.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.

Cryptotermes brevis (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) in the Azores: Lessons After 2 yr of Monitoring in the Archipelago [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2014 The dispersal flights of West Indian drywood termite, Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) were surveyed in the major cities of Azores. The sampling device used to estimate termite density consisted of a yellow adhesive trap (size 45 by 24 cm), placed with an artificial or natural light source in a dark attic environment. In addition,

Global contribution of invertebrates to forest litter decomposition
Ecology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2024.Invertebrates play important roles in litter decomposition, but the regional pattern of their effects is poorly understood. We found that invertebrate contributions to litter decomposition are 1.4 times higher in tropical and subtropical forests than forests elsewhere, with an overall contribution of 31% to global forest litter decomposition.

Survey and Ecological Studies of the Termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) of Mona Island
The Florida Entomologist, 1995 A survey of eight sites on Mona Island revealed four termite species in the family Kalotermitidae: Incisitermes nr. bequaerti (Snyder), I. nr. incisus (Silvestri), Neotermes mona (Banks), and Procryptotermes corniceps (Snyder). Incisitermes nr. bequaerti is a new record for the island. Identifiable wood hosts are reported.
