Regulation of soldier caste differentiation by microRNAs in Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki) [PDF]
PeerJThe soldier caste is one of the most distinguished castes inside the termite colony. The mechanism of soldier caste differentiation has mainly been studied at the transcriptional level, but the function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in soldier caste ...

Genetic differentiation in domesticated black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) populations
BMC BiologyBackground The black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) is widely used for waste bioconversion and sustainable protein production. However, domestication and prolonged captive rearing can rapidly alter genetic diversity and population structure.

Factors That Differentiate Distressed and Nondistressed Marriages in Army Soldiers [PDF]
Marriage & Family Review, 2011 Data from U.S. Army soldiers (N = 697) were analyzed to determine the factors that differentiate distressed from nondistressed relationships. Results show that most soldiers had relationship satisfaction scores that categorized them as nondistressed. In addition, soldiers in dual-military marriages had relationship satisfaction scores similar to those ...

Screening of reference genes for expression analysis in the study of soldier caste differentiation of Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is a serious pest worldwide. Juvenile hormone analog (and its analogs such as methoprene) can induce the transformation of the worker caste into soldier caste in C. formosanus.

Social interactions affecting caste development through physiological actions in termites
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 A colony of social insects is not only an aggregation of individuals but also a functional unit. To achieve adaptive social behavior in fluctuating environmental conditions, in addition to coordination of physiological status in each individual, the ...
