Ultrastructural study of tergal and posterior sternal glands in Prorhinotermes simplex (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
In Prorhinotermes simplex, tergal glands are present on the last three tergites (from the 8th to the 10th) in imagoes of both sexes. In addition, males possess posterior sternal glands of the same structure on sternites 8 and 9.

Living in the Mycelial World

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Feature-preserving synthesis of termite-mimetic spinodal nest morphology

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Termite-built topology is complex due to group interactions and environmental feedback. Being interlinked with material characteristics and related to functionality, an accurate synthesis of termite mound topology has never been achieved.

Seeing Through an Ant's Eyes: Do Entomopathogenic Fungi Extend Their Cognition to Their Hosts?

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐cognitivist approaches recognize cognition as a phenomenon that involves not just brains but all the sensorimotor apparatus of organisms. This means that brains are not always required for the emergence of cognition and that every organism can, in principle, be cognitive, unlocking a theoretical framework to explain the complex adaptive ...

Identifizierung der endo- und ectosymbiontischen Bakterien und cellulolytischen Aktivitäten der symbiontischen Flagellaten der australischen Termite Mastotermes darwiniensis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The lower wood-feeding Australian termite Mastotermes darwiniensis Froggatt (Fig. 1) is the only living member of the family Mastotermitidae. The complex symbiotic hindgut flora consists of protozoa (formerly named Archaezoa; Cleveland & Grimstone 1964 ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Evaluation of the chemical and thermo-physical properties of locally aggregated kaolin-based refractory materials

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2019
There is a continuous demand for refractory materials to meet the increasing expansion of industries and plants. Local clay materials are being explored to augment the inadequate supply of refractory materials.

Virtual brain endocasts of the palaeanodont Metacheiromys marshi and the neurosensory evolution of early Pholidotamorpha

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 821-846, October 2026.
We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

Towards homeostatic architecture: simulation of the generative process of a termite mound construction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This report sets out to the theme of the generation of a ‘living’, homeostatic and self-organizing architectural structure. The main research question this project addresses is what innovative techniques of design, construction and materials could ...
