Termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae, Termitidae) of Ecuador

Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.), 2009
Abstract Termites are an abundant and diverse group in the Neotropics with about 500 species representing 83 genera. The paucity of the termite fauna recorded from Ecuador is due, in part, to a lack of deliberate surveys. We revise the termite fauna of Ecuador and raise the number of species from 25 species to 72 based on our recent termite surveys. Of

Divergence times in the termite genus Macrotermes (Isoptera: Termitidae)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2007
The evolution of fungus-growing termites is supposed to have started in the African rain forests with multiple invasions of semi-arid habitats as well as multiple invasions of the Oriental region. We used sequences of the mitochondrial COII gene and Bayesian dating to investigate the time frame of the evolution of Macrotermes, an important genus of ...

A sex-linked ring quadrivalent in Termitidae (Isoptera)

Chromosoma, 1978
A sex-linked ring of four multiple has been identified at male meiosis in 21 African species of Termitidae. Since this ring occurs only in the males it is clear that it represents a multiple sex chromosome system of the X1X2Y1Y2♂∶X1X1X2X2♀ type.

Growth and demography ofCubitermes speciosus mounds (Isoptera, Termitidae)

Insectes Sociaux, 1996
The growth and demography ofCubitermes speciosus mounds were studied in an equatorial forest ecosystem near Kisangani, Zaire. The mounds were censused and measured on eight occasions from June 1985 to January 1993 on 25 plots of 100 m2. Mounds were found to grow in two ways: either they were enlarged sporadically, leading to a correlation between age ...

Wing microsculpturing in the termite genusAmitermes (Termitidae, Amitermitinae)

Proceedings: Animal Sciences, 1985
Wing microsculpturing has been described in the genusAmitermes. It occurs on the upper and lower wing surfaces and is composed of a single row of small (3–5 μm long), thorny papillae at the anterior margin and numerous micrasters all over the wing membrane (size 6–8 μm×5–7 μm; density 9200–9600/mm2).

Volatile terpenes from Nasutitermes soldiers (Isoptera, Termitidae)

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1964
Abstract α-Pinene has been identified as a major volatile component of the defensive secretions of three species of Nasutitermes . β -Pinene and/or other monoterpenoid hydrocarbons are also present in significant amounts. The terpenes appear to function largely as solvent-carriers for the resinous constituents of the secretions but they may also ...

Migration and nest building inCubitermes fungifaber (Isoptera, Termitidae)

Insectes Sociaux, 1986
Cubitermes fungifaber, a humus-feeding termite from the forest of the Ivory Coast, builds an earthen nest by successive additions. When the nest is experimentally damaged, the surviving colony frequently migrates some distance away, by a subterranean route, and builds a new nest.
