The role of changing landscape in the dispersal of a soil‐feeding termite in Suriname and French Guiana

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 953-967, November 2024.
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]

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016
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

open access: yesPopulation 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

Chemical and transcriptomic diversity do not correlate with ascending levels of social complexity in the insect order Blattodea

open access: yesEcology 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.

Use of eDNA and conventional sampling methods to survey rock pool (gnamma) biodiversity on granite inselbergs

open access: yesAustral 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.

Wood consumption rates of forest species by subterranean termites (Isoptera) under field conditions Taxas de consumo de madeira de espécies florestais por térmitas subterrâneos (Isoptera) sob condições de campo

open access: yesRevista Árvore, 2004
Termites are well -known for their capacity to damage and destroy wood and wood products of all kinds in the tropics and subtropics. A field test was undertaken to evaluate variations in wood consumption of Pinus sp.

Updated classification of the phylum Parabasalia

open access: yesJournal 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.
