Comparative Patterns of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Diversity in Termites Across Castes and Nesting Life Types [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles in termites show strong ecological structuring across life type, climate, and caste, based on a comparative analysis of published datasets. Despite this ecological signal, phylogenetic patterns are weak, indicating high evolutionary lability relative to other social insects.

Armed reproductives : evolution of the frontal gland in imagoes of Termitidae

Arthropod Structure & Development, 2013
The frontal gland of termites is a structure without any equivalent among other animals. Although this gland is well known in soldiers, it received almost no attention in other castes.

Unravelling the evolution of wood-feeding in termites with 47 high-resolution genome assemblies [PDF]

Nature Communications
Termites are a lineage of social cockroaches abundant in tropical ecosystems where they are key decomposers of organic matter. Despite their ecological significance, only a handful of reference-quality termite genomes have been sequenced, which is ...

Revisiting a Chinese Endemic Termite Genus of Building Timber Pests: Mitochondrial Genomic and Morphological Dissection and Phylogenetic Positioning of Xiaitermes Gao & He, 1994 (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) [PDF]

Insects
Xiaitermes Gao & He, 1994 is a small genus within Nasutitermitinae, the largest subfamily of Termitidae. It comprises only two species, both of which are wood-feeding pests endemic to China that damage building timbers and economic crops.

Single‐Cell Transcriptomes and Phylogenomic Analysis of Uncultivated Oxymonads [PDF]

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The oxymonads are anaerobic protist symbionts of animals with spectacular morphological complexity and variability, but because only a handful of species have been cultured, very little data are available for the group. This includes molecular data, with only a couple of species having sequenced genomes or transcriptomes. Oxymonads are divided

Phylogeography of Nasutitermes ephratae (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) in Neotropical region [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Abstract The neotropical region ranks third in the number of termites with five different families. Of these, Termitidae is the most diverse and includes the species Nasutitermes ephratae and is common in the neotropics. To date, only one study has been published about phylogeographic issues in neotropical termites (N. corniger). Here, we aimed
