Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

Reproductive mechanisms in a Nasutitermes species (Isoptera: Termitidae) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Biologia, 1999 The number of reproductive individuals present in colonies of Nasutitermes sp. was analysed, and its possible reproductive strategy discussed. Twenty-four nests were collected and opened, and a single queen and king were found in 17 of them. In the other 7 nests, no queen or king were neither found, nor any other reproductive individual.

Complete Genome Sequence of Sporomusa termitida DSM 4440 T
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2020 Sporomusa termitida type strain DSM 4440 was isolated from the intestinal content of the termite Nasutitermes nigriceps . The genome consists of one circular chromosome (5,185,220 bp) and a megaplasmid (131,121 bp) with an overall G+C content of 49.11%. It harbors 4,764 predicted protein-encoding genes.
