Parthenogenetic reproduction in neotenics of the subterranean termite Reticulitermes speratus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Entomological Science, 2003
AbstractExperiments with artificial colonies consisting of only female workers and those of female nymphs and workers of a subterranean termite, Reticulitermes speratus, showed that neotenics (ergatoids and nymphoids) can reproduce parthenogenetically.

Transcriptomic profiling of castes and of sexually and parthenogenetically produced reproductive females in the termite Cavitermes tuberosus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2023
In termites with a true worker caste, the development pattern splits up from early developmental stages: primary reproductives develop through the nymphal line, whereas workers and soldiers follow the apterous developmental line. In some species, such as

Polystoma umthakathi(Monogenea): establishment, mortality and reproduction of neotenic parasites in experimentally infectedNatalobatrachus bonebergitadpoles

South African Journal of Zoology, 1990
The development of Polystoma umthakathi oncomiracidia were studied in experimentally infected Natalobatrachus boneberg tadpoles to establish a normal reference of parasite performance in the natural host. The anteroventral body wall is transparent in these tadpoles and it was possible to follow the destiny of each parasite throughout its life span of ...

A Breeding System Derived From Asexual Queen Succession in Termite Colonies From Cold Climate Regions

Molecular Ecology
In social insects, geographic variation is often accompanied not only by physiological changes but also by changes in their social system. In the subterranean termite Reticulitermes speratus that exhibits a sophisticated social system, colonies in ...
