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.

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.

European Journal of Entomology, 2005 In Prorhinotermes simplex, tergal glands are present on the last three tergites (from the 8th to the 10th) in imagoes of both sexes. In addition, males possess posterior sternal glands of the same structure on sternites 8 and 9.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Revision of the termite family Rhinotermitidae (Isoptera) in New Guinea [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2011 Recently, we completed a revision of the Termitidae from New Guinea and neighboring islands, recording a total of 45 species. Here, we revise a second family, the Rhinotermitidae, to progress towards a full picture of the termite diversity in New Guinea.
