Colony social organization and population genetic structure of an introduced population of Formosan subterranean termite from New Orleans, Louisiana [PDF]
, 2005 The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is an invasive species in many parts of the world, including the U.S. mainland. The reasons for its invasive success may have to do with the flexible social and spatial organization of ...

Reproductive competency of male and female neotenics of Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2007 Numerous male and female neotenic reproductives were observed in colonies of Reticulitermes flavipes. Three colonies had almost equal numbers of female and male neotenics (37:35, 4:2, 10:3) and one colony was significantly female skewed (10:2 ...

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.

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.

Comparison of the gut microbiota from soldier and worker castes of the termite Reticulitermes grassei [PDF]
, 2011 The bacterial microbiota from the whole gut of soldier and worker castes of the termite Reticulitermes grassei was isolated and studied. In addition, the 16S rDNA bacterial genes from gut DNA were PCR-amplified using Bacteria-selective primers,
