Expansion of presoldier cuticle contributes to head elongation during soldier differentiation in termites [PDF]
The Science of Nature, 2015 In termites, the soldier caste possesses morphological features suitable for colony defence, despite some exceptions. Soldiers are differentiated via two moultings through a presoldier stage with dramatic morphogenesis. While a number of morphological modifications are known to occur during the presoldier moult, growth and morphogenesis seem to ...

Insects, 2012 The Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) is an important worldwide pest, each year causing millions of dollars in structural damage and control costs. Termite colonies are composed of several phenotypically distinct castes.

Soldier-specific modification of the mandibular motor neurons in termites.
PLoS ONE, 2008 Social insects exhibit a variety of caste-specific behavioral tendencies that constitute the basis of division of labor within the colony. In termites, the soldier caste display distinctive defense behaviors, such as aggressively attacking enemies with ...

Military Psychology, 2020 A number of past studies have demonstrated that personality traits are modest predictors of workplace attitudes and behaviors and can provide incremental validity over cognitive ability. However, less is known about the utility of personality for job classification. In addition, concerns about the effects of faking on personality measures still remain.

Tyraminergic and Octopaminergic Modulation of Defensive Behavior in Termite Soldier.
PLoS ONE, 2016 In termites, i.e. a major group of eusocial insects, the soldier caste exhibits specific morphological characteristics and extremely high aggression against predators.

A lipocalin protein, Neural Lazarillo, is key to social interactions that promote termite soldier differentiation [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Social communication among castes is a crucial component of insect societies. However, the genes involved in soldier determination through the regulation of inter-individual interactions are largely unknown. In an incipient colony of the damp-wood termiteZootermopsis nevadensis, the first larva to develop into a third instar always differentiates into ...

Table_11_Transcriptomics on Social Interactions in Termites: Effects of Soldier Presence.XLSX
, 2022 The organization of social insect colonies requires sophisticated mechanisms to regulate caste composition according to colony demands. In termites, the soldier caste is responsible for the inhibition of soldier differentiation, but the mechanism ...
