Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

Laboratory and field evaluation for the resistance of commonly used woods against _Coptotermes heimi_ (Wasmann). [PDF]
, 2010 The current study was conducted to evaluate the resistance of four wood species (_Azadirachta indica_, _Pinus roxberghii_, _Dalbergia sissoo_ and _Populus deltoides_) against subterranean termite species _Coptotermes heimi_ by choice and no choice field ...

Horizontal transfer of boron by the Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanau Shiraki) after feeding on treated wood [PDF]
, 2009 The goal of the present study was to determine whether Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki workers exposed to boron-treated wood were capable of transferring quantifiable amounts of boron to non-exposed nestmates.

The gut microbiota of the wood-feeding termite Reticulitermes lucifugus (Isoptera; Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2015 Termite gut is host to a complex microbial community consisting of prokaryotes, and in some cases flagellates, responsible for the degradation of lignocellulosic material.

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.

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 364-384, April 2025.We recently reported that long‐lived termite kings and queens display an increased enzymatic activity and abundance of telomerase in their soma when compared to short‐lived workers. We hypothesized that this telomerase activation may represent its noncanonical pro‐longevity function, independent of its canonical role in telomere maintenance.
