Chemical systematics of Neotropical termite genera with symmetrically snapping soldiers (Termitidae: Termitinae)

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016
Termite soldiers often combine mechanical adaptations with defensive chemicals secreted from the frontal gland. Amongst the most remarkable strategies for mechanical defence, symmetrical and asymmetrical snapping mandibles evolved in several lineages of ...

Polyethism in the australian harvester TermiteDrepanotermes (Isoptera, Termitinae)

Insectes Sociaux, 1978
Species ofDrepanotermes show instar-dependent behavioural differences in the worker caste in both nest repair and foraging activity. Immediately following damage to the nest, the frequencies of W1, W2 and W3 at the damaged site decreased, while those of W4+W5 and soldiers increased in bothD. rubriceps andD. perniger.

The termitinae (Isoptera) of temperate Australia

Australian Journal of Zoology Supplementary Series, 1971
The subfamily Termitinae is represented in temperate Australia by 12 species, 10 of which are known by all castes and two by imagos only. The 12 species are assigned to five genera, two of which, Hesperotermes and Ekphysotermes, are new and proposed to accommodate a number of species previously assigned to the genus Termes.

Carbohydrases in the Alimentary Canal of Amitermes Evuncifer Silvestri (Isoptera: Termitidae: Termitinae)

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1986
—Amylase, sucrase and cellulase were detected in the alimentary canals of workers and soldiers of Amitermes evuncifer Silvestri, but only sucrase and cellulase were found in the alimentary canal of the alates. Enzyme activities varied in different parts of the alimentary canal.

A revision of the Termes-Capritermes branch of the Termitinae in Australia (Isoptera : Termitidae)

Invertebrate Taxonomy, 1990
The Australian genera belonging to the Termes-Capritermes branch of the Termitinae are revised. Termes fatalis Linnaeus, the type species of Termes Linnaeus, is redescribed and a neotype soldier designated. Eight new genera and 27 new species are described, 18 species presently assigned to the genus Termes are transferred to other genera ...
