Alabama Rhinotermitidae: Nomenclature, Identification, Survey, and Phenology [PDF]
, 2012 Nomenclature, identification, distribution, and phenology of the subterranean termites (Rhinotermitidae) of Alabama were studied. Arguments are proposed for suppressing the names of four R. flavipes subspecies with reported Alabama distributions: R. f. 1,

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 ...

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

Effect of Fipronil on Subterranean Termite Colonies (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in the Field [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2012 To assess possible colony-level effects of fipronil, a commonly used nonrepellent termiticide, we conducted a field study of eight houses in the Raleigh, NC, area with infestations of the eastern subterranean termite Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).

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.

Biogeographical Variation in Termite Distributions Alters Global Deadwood Decay
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 12, December 2024.ABSTRACT Aim Termites are a crucial group of macroinvertebrates regulating rates of deadwood decomposition across tropical and subtropical regions. When examining global patterns of deadwood decay, termites are treated as a homogenous group. There exist key biogeographical differences in termite distribution.
