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.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes ovatilabrum (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2021 The mitochondrial genome of the Reticulitermes ovatilabrum is 15,913 bp in length and encodes 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The percentage of A/T (65.59%) is much higher than that of C/G (34.41%).

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 ...

Artificial Pond Habitats Placed in an Australian Berry Farm Support Invertebrate Diversity Including Pollinating Flies. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

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).

Distribution and genetic variation of Reticulitermes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Portugal [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 The genus Reticulitermes has a Holartic distribution and is widely represented in southern Europe. It is established in Portugal, across the full range of ambient environmental conditions, using different types of wood resources, as available, and nesting ubiquitously in many types of soil.
