Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies
Population Ecology, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 219-231, October 2024.The evolution of obligate asexuality is thought to be prevented in animals whose males play crucial roles beyond the contribution of gametes. While obligate asexuality had not until recently been observed in termites whose colonies commonly comprise both male and female reproductives, workers, and soldiers, all‐female asexual populations of the termite

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.We assessed the long‐standing hypothesis that chemical profile complexity increases with levels of sociality in the insect order Blattodea investigating solitary as well as eusocial species. Strikingly, we could not confirm any consistent correlative patterns between chemical, transcriptomic, and social complexity.

Reproductive competency of male and female neotenics of Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2007 Numerous male and female neotenic reproductives were observed in colonies of Reticulitermes flavipes. Three colonies had almost equal numbers of female and male neotenics (37:35, 4:2, 10:3) and one colony was significantly female skewed (10:2 ...

Diverse Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae (Isoptera) in Dominican Amber [PDF]
American Museum Novitates, 2009 Abstract The most diverse and best-preserved paleofauna of the higher termites heretofore known, all found in Miocene amber of the Dominican Republic, is described. The imago of Coptotermes priscus Emerson is redescribed, and the soldier of C. priscus, the first known fossil soldier of this genus, is described.

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

Updated classification of the phylum Parabasalia
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 4, July/August 2024.Abstract The phylum Parabasalia includes very diverse single‐cell organisms that nevertheless share a distinctive set of morphological traits. Most are harmless or beneficial gut symbionts of animals, but some have turned into parasites in other body compartments, the most notorious example being Trichomonas vaginalis in humans.
