Ultrastructure of the frontal gland in Prorhinotermes simplex (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) and quantity of the defensive substance

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
The frontal gland as a sac-like organ in Prorhinotermes simplex is present only in presoldiers, soldiers, and imagoes, but exists also in nymph-soldier intercastes.

Pleistocene glacial and interglacial ecosystems inferred from ancient DNA analyses of permafrost sediments from Batagay megaslump, East Siberia

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1265-1283, November 2022., 2022
As the past is the key to the future, to understand community transformations and ecological interactions, we reconstructed ecosystem‐wide biotic composition (from viruses to megaherbivores) between glacials and interglacials from the Middle and Late Pleistocene at the Batagay megaslump, east Siberia.

First Record of the Arid-Land Termite, \u3ci\u3eReticulitermes Tibialis\u3c/i\u3e Banks, in Wisconsin [PDF]

, 2018
During a survey of termites in Wisconsin, one colony was found from a different habitat than the remaining populations. This observation led to further genetic testing which resulted in a determination of Reticulitermes tibialis Banks.

Detection of Mitochondrial COII DNA Sequences in Ant Guts as a Method for Assessing Termite Predation by Ants [PDF]

, 2015
Termites and ants contribute more to animal biomass in tropical rain forests than any other single group and perform vital ecosystem functions. Although ants prey on termites, at the community level the linkage between these groups is poorly understood ...

Foraging activity and demographic patterns of two termite species (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) living in urban landscapes in southeastern Brazil

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
Coptotermes gestroi and Heterotermes tenuis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) are important pests in southeastern Brazil causing serious economic damage. In this study we determined the demographic patterns and foraging activity of these species using mark ...

Distribution of Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Mississippi [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2007
An extensive monitoring and survey program in Mississippi was conducted from 2000 to 2004 to investigate the distribution of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). Seventy-two towns from 22 counties in southern Mississippi were monitored with a total of 3914 traps that catch alates during the ...

Developmental pathways of Psammotermes hybostoma (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae): old pseudergates make up a new sterile caste. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundErgonomic efficiency is in termites maximized by task partitioning among specialized castes. The isopteran caste systems can be classified as either (i) linear, when tasks are performed by pluripotent immatures (pseudergates), retaining the ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the subterranean termite, Reticulitermes kanmonensis Takematsu, 1999 (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
We have determined the mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes kanmonensis Takematsu, 1999. The total length of the R. kanmonensis is 16,484 bp with 66.1% A + T content. It consists of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes and an A + T–rich control region.
