Asexual queen succession in the subterranean termite Reticulitermes virginicus [PDF]

, 2011
Termite colonies are founded by a pair of primary reproductives. In many species, including subterranean termites (family Rhinotermitidae), the primary king and queen can be succeeded by neotenic reproductives that are produced from workers ...

From Genomic Fossils to Functional Elements: The Evolving Story of Pseudogenes

Advanced Genetics, Volume 6, Issue 4, December 2025.
This review begins with an introduction, summarizing the research background in pseudogene studies. It then contains three aspects: identification of pseudogenes, detailing their classification and features in metazoan genomes; functional pseudogenes, introducing their reactivation and regulation mechanisms; and pseudogenes’ contribution to species ...

Multiple male and female reproductive strategies and the presence of a polyandric mating system in the termite Reticulitermes labralis (Isoptera:Rhinotermitidae)

Sociobiology, 2013
Reproductive systems of termite colonies may involve the number of individuals in the reproductive caste and the copulatory selectivity of reproductive individuals (i.e., polyandry or polygamy), both of which directly impact the fertility and genetic ...

Disentangling the interrelations of body mass, egg deposition site, climate and microhabitat use in frogs and salamanders

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Amphibians exhibit a large diversity in reproductive and developmental strategies, which in turn are linked to their body size, life history and habitat. Here, we explore why terrestrial egg laying frogs are on average smaller than aquatic egg laying ones and whether this pattern also exists in salamanders.

Neocortical neurogenesis: a proneural gene perspective

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 21, Page 5580-5610, November 2025.
The neocortex is a mammalian‐specific brain region responsible for higher‐order cognitive functioning that shares fundamental similarities across species, but which is larger and more complex in humans. Proneural genes, encoding basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors (TFs), are evolutionarily conserved drivers of neurogenesis from fly to human ...

Genetic analysis of the breeding system of an invasive subterranean termite, Reticulitermes santonensis, in urban and natural habitats. [PDF]

, 2005
Reticulitermes santonensis is a subterranean termite that invades urban areas in France and elsewhere where it causes damage to human-built structures. We investigated the breeding system, colony and population genetic structure, and mode of dispersal of

The Dry‐Climate Hypothesis: Identifying the Environmental Drivers of Terrestrial Viviparous Salamanders

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim The evolution of adaptive innovations carries strong eco‐evolutionary implications, allowing organisms to explore novel ecological opportunities, which facilitates lineage diversification. The remarkable diversity of reproductive strategies in amphibians provides a natural laboratory for identifying ecological mechanisms driving ...

Taxonomy and dated molecular phylogeny of Allium oreophilum sensu lato (A. subg. Porphyroprason) uncover a surprising number of cryptic taxa

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 5, Page 1035-1053, October 2025.
Abstract Allium oreophilum, hitherto the representative of the monotypic A. subg. Porphyroprason from the second evolutionary lineage of Allium, is studied in detail. Over about 150 years, A. oreophilum was regarded as a somewhat polymorphous species with two synonyms, all described in the 19th century.

Colony Genetic Structure of \u3ci\u3eReticulitermes flavipes\u3c/i\u3e (Kollar) from Natural Populations in Nebraska [PDF]

, 2013
Genetic markers are a powerful tool to investigate the breeding structure and population genetics of subterranean termites. In this study, 1 0 - 2 0 subterranean termite workers, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) were collected from colonies at 8 sites ...
