Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 615-633, December 2023., 2023 Comprehensive analysis of adipokinetic hormone gene evolution in Blattodea. Discovery of a novel group of decapeptides that are unique to Blaberoidea. Adipokinetic hormone receptor genes broadly reflect accepted blattodean relationships. Abstract Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a neuropeptide produced in the insect corpora cardiaca that plays an ...

The biogeography of Gabonese savannas: Evidence from termite community richness and composition
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 1505-1518, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim The mosaic of savannas that persists in the forest‐dominant Congo Basin is thought to be palaeoclimatic relics, but past biogeographical processes that have formed and maintained these systems are poorly understood. Here, we explored the post‐Pleistocene biogeography of Gabon's savannas using termites as biological indicators to understand

Subterranean Termites (Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2019 Phylogeny and classification The worldwide family Rhinotermitidae, or subterranean termites, comprises 15 genera and more than 300 species. They occupy an intermediate position between the so-called "lower" and "higher" termites and so are often referred to as "intermediate" termites (1).

Neoisoptera repeatedly colonised Madagascar after the Middle Miocene climatic optimum
Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Madagascar is home to many endemic plant and animal species owing to its ancient isolation from other landmasses. This unique fauna includes several lineages of termites, a group of insects known for their key role in organic matter decomposition in many terrestrial ecosystems. How and when termites colonised Madagascar remains unknown.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 272-284, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Environmental conditions associated with climate change are exacerbating pine mortality caused by the southern pine beetle (SPB) (Dendroctonus frontalis), prompting investigations into innovative management strategies. Triggering the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway using species‐specific double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) to silence genes and cause ...

Insect Science, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 185-196, February 2023., 2023 Ergosterol is a significantly different volatile matter in the entomopathogenic fungus‐exposed termites. Ergosterol attracts termites and enhances the allogrooming behavior of termites in the presence of entomopathogenic fungi. Abstract Termites have physiological and behavioral immunities that make them highly resistant to pathogen infections, which ...
