Modern termites inherited the potential of collective construction from their common ancestor

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 13, Page 6775-6784, July 2020., 2020
Understanding the origin of complex traits has been one of the primary focuses of evolutionary biologists since Darwin. One such trait is the nest structure of social insects, which is built by individuals following a simple set of behavioral rules. Here, we review the litterature on termite nest constructions in a phylogenetic framework and propose ...

Morphology of the nymphoid replacement reproductives in the neotropical termite Armitermes euamignathus (Isoptera, Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, 1999
Numerous nymphoid reproductives were found in three field nests of Armitermes euamignathus collected in Brazil. We report here a morphological description and a biometric study of these individuals. Nymphoid replacements displayed narrow wing buds when compared with those present in nymphs from the three last instars. Thorax morphology of the nymphoids
