The effect of ergosterol on the allogrooming behavior of termites in response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae

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 ...

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.

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 ...

FEEDING PREFERENCE OF SUBTERRANEAN TERMITES FOR FOREST SPECIES ASSOCIATED OR NOT A WOOD-DECAYING FUNGI

Floresta e Ambiente, 2023
This study was performed with the aim of determining the “natural” wood preferences of subterranean termites (Isoptera) in a field feeding experiment, giving a choice between a control (Pinus sp.) and test woods: three species of Eucalyptus.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes leptomandibularis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2019
The complete mitochondrial genome of a lower termite, Reticulitermes leptomandibularis is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,920 bp in length. The genome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a non-coding region (D-loop).The overall sequence of R. leptomandibularis is A/T biased with

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...
