We investigated Embiratermes neotenicus dispersal in Suriname and French Guiana, by studying genetic diversity, structure and factors influencing population differentiation. We used mitochondrial and nuclear data from 70 colonies. Significant genetic differentiation between populations was observed.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes labralis and implications for Rhinotermitidae taxonomy [PDF]
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes labralis was analyzed. This mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 15,914 bp in length and has the same gene content and organization as that found in other Reticulitermes species. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs (12S and 16S rRNA) and

Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies
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

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.

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
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.
