Determinants of Termite Assemblages’ Characteristics within Natural Habitats of a Sudano-Guinean Savanna (Comoe National Park, Côte d’Ivoire) [PDF]
Insects, 2018 Termites are one of the major components of tropical ecosystems. However, the ecological and biological variables determining the structure of their communities within natural habitats are less documented in general and especially in the Comoe National ...

Insect Science, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1512-1529, December 2021., 2021 Outline of the symbiotic roles of each component in the symbiotic system of fungus‐growing termites for degradation of lignocellulose. Abstract Fungus‐growing termites are among the most successful herbivorous animals and improve crop productivity and soil fertility. A range of symbiotic organisms can be found inside their nests.

Association of Actinomycete-Like Bacteria with Soil-Feeding Termites (Termitidae, Termitinae) [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1979 Electron microscopy of the hindgut showed that actinomycete-like bacteria were the principal microbial associates of two African species of soil-feeding termites. Elongated cuticular spines provided attachment.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 16, Page 8741-8754, August 2020., 2020 We investigate the behavioral dynamics of the encounter between an obligate inquiline termite and its host termite species. Hosts are aggressive toward inquilines. When threatened or even physically injured by hosts, inquilines react with low aggressiveness, exhibiting a repertoire of evasive manoeuvres that prevent conflict escalation.

Phylogenetic reconstruction of Syntermitinae (Isoptera, Termitidae) based on morphological and molecular data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The subfamily Syntermitinae comprises a group of Neotropical termites with 18 genera and 101 species described. It has been considered a natural group, but relationships among the genera within the subfamily remain uncertain, and some genera appear to be

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Termite mounds are replete with natural nanoparticles, and they vary in physicochemical, geochemical, mineralogical, and biological properties from the adjoining soils. Although termite mounds have wide ecological and environmental roles including soil formation, faunal and vegetation growth and diversity, organic matter decomposition, geochemical ...
