Desiccation tolerance of Termitidae termites in relation to their nest type
Environmental Entomology, 2023Abstract The family Termitidae is renowned for its diverse nesting behaviors, with the evolution of epigeal and arboreal nests hypothesized to increase desiccation stress due to greater exposure to air. However, these nests may also alleviate desiccation stress through humidity regulation. To explore the implications of acquiring epigeal

Characterization of Nasutitermes globiceps (Isoptera: Termitidae) Esterases
Biochemical Genetics, 2000Esterases of Nasutitermes globiceps termites which occur on the Upper Paraná River floodplain (Brazil) were characterized. The electrophoretic pattern of the termite esterases Nasutitermes globiceps was obtained by starch gel electrophoresis. Six esterase activity zones were obtained and numbered, with esterase-1 being the most anodall one and esterase-

Growth and demography ofCubitermes speciosus mounds (Isoptera, Termitidae)
Insectes Sociaux, 1996The 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 ...

Divergence times in the termite genus Macrotermes (Isoptera: Termitidae)
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2007The 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 ...

Ergatoid reproductives in Nasutitermes columbicus (Isoptera, Termitidae)
Journal of Morphology, 1988AbstractNumerous functional ergatoid replacement reproductives were found in one colony of Nasutitermes columbicus in Panama. Their morphology was mainly workerlike, although several imaginal characters such as the compound eyes and variable wing buds were more or less developed.

Description of the imago of Neocapritermes utiariti (Isoptera: Termitidae: Termitinae)
Zootaxa, 2017The neotropical termite genus Neocapritermes Holmgren (1912) was revised by Krishna & Araujo (1968), who recognized 14 valid species. Two additional species were described by Constantino (1991), and another one by Bandeira & Cancello (1992). However, the imago of most species of Neocapritermes remain unknown.
