Updating the Systematic Status of Genus <i>Heterotermes</i> (Rhinotermitidae: Isoptera: Blattodea) by Combining Morphometric Analysis, Distribution Mapping, and DNA Barcoding Approaches. [PDF]
Ecol EvolTermite's culture collection protocol for fauna assessment. ABSTRACT Termites are eusocial insects, found widely in the tropics of the world. They are known as serious pests to agriculture, forestry, and structures, but they also act as key ecological engineers in the wild.

A New Synonymy of Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Sociobiology, 2014 The taxonomy of the genus Coptotermes is far from settled in the world, especially in China. Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki had been described or misidentified as several different species in China based on measurement characteristics. In this paper, the

A Novel Lineage of Endosymbiotic Actinomycetales: Genome Reduction and Acquisition of New Functions in Bifidobacteriaceae Associated With Termite Gut Flagellates. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolWe have characterised several novel genera of Bifidobacteriaceae that colonise the cytoplasm of cellulolytic flagellates. Horizontal gene transfer played an important role in their adaptation to the intracellular environment. However, progressive genome erosion led to the loss of biosynthetic capacities that formed the basis of an originally ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Cryptotermes domesticus (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae): Genome description and phylogenetic implications. [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem Physiol, 2023 This study sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Cryptotermes domesticus and reveal its mitogenomic characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods based on 13 protein‐coding genes, and the monophyly of Kalotermitidae was supported.
