Diverse Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae (Isoptera) in Dominican Amber [PDF]
Abstract The most diverse and best-preserved paleofauna of the higher termites heretofore known, all found in Miocene amber of the Dominican Republic, is described. The imago of Coptotermes priscus Emerson is redescribed, and the soldier of C. priscus, the first known fossil soldier of this genus, is described.

Karyotype evolution in the Termitidae (Isoptera)
The karyotypes of 15 species of Termitidae were analyzed. All of them are X1X2Y1Y2 (male) and X1X1X2X2 (female). With the exception of Neocapritermes opacus with 2n=40, the remaining species are 2n=42 in both sexes, a karyotype similar to those described

ABSTRACT Termites are eusocial insects that maintain cohesion and exchange information through frequent physical interactions among nestmates. This social organisation underlies the principle of horizontal insecticide transfer, which is widely exploited as a termite control strategy.

Complete Genome Sequence of Sporomusa termitida DSM 4440 T
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.

Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan
This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Mutual use of trail-following chemical cues by a termite host and its inquiline.
Termite nests are often secondarily inhabited by other termite species ( = inquilines) that cohabit with the host. To understand this association, we studied the trail-following behaviour in two Neotropical species, Constrictotermes cyphergaster ...
