Termites assess wood size by using vibration signals [PDF]
, 2005 International audienceContrary to the common perception that termites are indiscrimi-nant eaters, termites choose their food carefully; however, the methods by which they choose food are not well understood.

Post-embryonic development of the female reproductive system of the Neotropical termite Silvestritermes euamignathus (Isoptera: Termitidae: Syntermitinae) [PDF]
, 2022 In termites, the maturation of the female reproductive system is progressive following post-embryonic development. In Silvestritermes euamignathus, the imaginal line is characterized by five nymphal instars that develop into the imago, but it can deviate

A Breeding System Derived From Asexual Queen Succession in Termite Colonies From Cold Climate Regions [PDF]
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 ...

Colony founding by unassisted neotenics in a termite with pseudergates, Prorhinotermes canalifrons [PDF]
, 2016 While termite neotenic reproductives, when present, are usually few and confined within the deepest parts of the colony, in Prorhinotermes species they are often abundant and may accompany soldiers and pseudergates during foraging trips.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1836-1849, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In brood‐site pollination mutualisms, where flowers provide nutrition and shelter to pollinator offspring in exchange for pollination, resource allocation to inflorescences is directly related to plant and pollinator fitness.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Presently, there are three main hypotheses to explain why the leaves of many Australian mistletoes resemble their hosts. The eco‐physiological convergence hypothesis suggests that mistletoes must manage their physiology, especially their water relations, to match those of the host, to avoid killing themselves or the host branch they have ...

Ontogenic potentialities of the worker caste in two sympatric subterranean termites in France [PDF]
, 2011 International audienceIn termites, the capacity of workers to differentiate into neotenic reproductives is an important characteristic that deserves particular attention. To gain insight into the differentiation pathway, the potentialities of workers and

Metabolism Controls the Timing of Human Brain Development and Maturation
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT Among primates the human brain is the largest in size, exhibiting a higher neuronal density and connectivity. The prolonged expansion and subsequent connectome reorganization of the human brain have been suggested to promote higher cognitive and behavioral abilities.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 2, Page 91-106, March 2026.Ontogenetic sequences in phyllopharyngean ciliates. ABSTRACT Heterochronic shifts in developmental sequences of unicellular organisms are rarely considered as mechanisms behind their morphological evolution. Among eukaryotic microbes, ciliates represent a key model group, exhibiting diverse morphologies and developmental trajectories.
