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.

Rescue Strategy in a Termite: Workers Exposed to a Fungal Pathogen Are Reintegrated Into the Colony
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Social insect colonies are characterized by an efficient division of labor, allowing high-value individuals (i.e., reproductives and brood) to be sheltered from tasks associated with increased risk of pathogen exposure, such as foraging or corpse ...

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.
