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

Molecular 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 ...

Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This 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

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)

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.

Terpenos em cupins do gênero Nasutitermes (Isoptera, Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae)

Química Nova, 2014
The chemical composition of the front gland of termites has been studied for over 40 years. The genus Nasutitermes, considered the most evolved of the Termitidae family, has a peculiarity that sets it apart from the others: a caste of soldiers that carry

Wood consumption rates of forest species by subterranean termites (Isoptera) under field conditions Taxas de consumo de madeira de espécies florestais por térmitas subterrâneos (Isoptera) sob condições de campo

Revista Árvore, 2004
Termites are well -known for their capacity to damage and destroy wood and wood products of all kinds in the tropics and subtropics. A field test was undertaken to evaluate variations in wood consumption of Pinus sp.
