Diet composition of an escaped captive‐born southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) in a nonnative habitat in Asia [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Studies on the role of natural predatory instincts in captive‐born mammalian myrmecophagy are rare. Consequently, researchers rely extensively on case reports to learn more about the contexts in which predatory behavior occurs among such animals. In this

Taxonomic and Ecological Notes on Termes propinquus Holmgren, 1914 Known from Sumatra (Blattodea: Termitoidae: Termitidae). [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2022 The genus Termes Linneus, 1758 consisting of a total of 24 valid named species known from the Old World, is a very heterogeneous group of termites and seems to involve many taxonomic obscurities and confusions. In the island of Sumatra, the sixth‐largest island located in the Southeast Asian tropics, four species of Termes have been found, namely, T ...

A protocol to evaluate the taxonomic health of Neotropical species of Nasutitermes (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) [PDF]
ZooKeysHerein a protocol is proposed to summarize the taxonomic situation for species, using the Neotropical Nasutitermes Dudley (Nasutitermitinae) as a test. The objective of this protocol is to allow comparisons between the available taxonomic information for

First evidence of wasp brood development inside active nests of a termite with the description of a previously unknown potter wasp species. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 We describe a previously unknown potter wasp species, Montezumia termitophila sp. nov. (Vespidae: Eumeninae). Also, we provide the first evidence of wasp brood development inside active nests of the termite Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Silvestri, 1901) (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae).
