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

Balancing risk and opportunity: Nasute termite responses to predator and competitor chemical cues
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 654-663, August 2026.Nasutitermes corniger discriminates between heterospecific chemical cues during foraging, showing non‐random resource selection based on predator and competitor information. Predator chemical cues consistently reduce food resource selection, indicating avoidance driven by perceived predation risk rather than direct encounters.

How Do Group Size and Social Context Affect Per‐Capita Behavioral Responses in a Nasute Termite?
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 639-645, July 2026.Group living is often assumed to increase individual behavioral activity in eusocial insects through social facilitation. Using controlled bioassays with the termite Nasutitermes corniger, we show that increasing group size instead reduces per‐capita behavioral frequency, consistent with greater behavioral specialization. While antennation and grooming

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 For the first time, the usage of bromeliad inflorescences as nesting sites for ants and other arthropods was studied. Frequencies of occurrence of nests were recorded from hollow stems of dried infructescences of the bromeliad Vriesea friburgensis on Santa Catarina Island, southern Brazil.
