Antennal cropping during colony foundation in termites
The literature on pairing and mating behavior in termites indicates that a number of distal antennal segments in dealates of both sexes are often removed during colony foundation, with terms such as amputation, mutilation and cannibalism typically ...

This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Morphological, Molecular, and Isotopic Approaches to Termite Ecology: A Mangrove Case Study
Termite communities in Caribbean mangroves, though species‐poor, sustain crucial decomposition and nutrient cycling. Their overlapping niches and stochastic assembly highlight termites' resilience and ecological importance in supporting the functioning of these challenging coastal ecosystems.

Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

We developed a low‐cost, stratified subterranean trap for live capture of soil macrofauna in the sandy, dryland soils of the southern Kalahari. The subterranean traps sampled below‐ground taxa and life stages that were rarely represented in pitfall traps (including termites, hypogaeic ants and beetle larvae), showed strong seasonal peaks in richness ...
