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

Morphology of the head and frontal gland in neotropical Nasutitermitinae (Isoptera, Termitidae)
, 2005 The Nasutitermitinae species are the most diverse and derived of the Isoptera. The phylogeny of this subfamily has been a point of divergence. In an attempt to solve this problem, we propose the use of the morphological features of the head, frontal ...
