A new species of the termitophilous rove beetle genus Pseudotermitoecia Kistner, 1985 from Australia (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), and its association with Schedorhinotermes Silvestri, 1909 (Rhinotermitidae)

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 4, November 2025.
Abstract We describe Pseudotermitoecia kungarakan Zilberman & Moreno, sp. nov., a new species of the termitophilous rove beetle genus Pseudotermitoecia Kistner, 1985 (Termitusini: Termitospectrina) from Australia. This discovery expands the known diversity of the genus, previously represented solely by Pseudotermitoecia kakaduensis Kistner, 1985 ...

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Lignin-solubilizing ability of actinomycetes isolated from termite (Termitidae) gut [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990
The lignocellulose-degrading abilities of 11 novel actinomycete strains isolated from termite gut were determined and compared with that of the well-characterized actinomycete, Streptomyces viridosporus T7A. Lignocellulose bioconversion was followed by (i) monitoring the degradation of [14C]lignin- and [14C]cellulose-labeled phloem of Abies concolor to

Biogeography and Social Family Structure Contribute to Cryptic Genomic Divergence in the Only Obligate Eusocial Beetle Species, Austroplatypus incompertus (Curculionidae: Platypodinae)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Eusociality in insects has arisen multiple times independently in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants), Blattodea (termites) and Coleoptera (beetles). In Hymenoptera and Blattodea, the evolution of eusociality led to species proliferation. In the hyperdiverse Coleoptera, obligate eusociality evolved only once, in the ancient Australian ambrosia ...

Foraging signals in the Neotropical termite Nasutitermes corniger: The role of castes and intercolonial perception

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1112-1122, October 2025.
We analyzed the role of foraging signals in an important neotropical nasute termite species, including the effect of various gland and caste origins of foraging signals, the response of groups with distinct caste compositions, and intercolonial perception of these signals.
