Taxonomic Features and Comparison of the Gut Microbiome from Two Edible Fungus-Farming Termites (Macrotermes falciger, M. natalensis) Harvested in the Vhembe District of Limpopo, South Africa [PDF]
, 2019 Background Termites are an important food resource for many human populations around the world, and are a good supply of nutrients. The fungus-farming ‘higher’ termite members of Macrotermitinae are also consumed by modern great apes and are implicated ...

Distribution and Abundance of Bacteria in the Gut of a Soil-feeding Termite Procubitermes aburiensis (Termitidae, Termitinae) [PDF]
Microbiology, 1980 The alimentary canal of a representative species of soil-feeding termite was examined for associations with bacteria. Enumerations made in the principal regions of the intestine by direct observation and expressed for comparative purposes as total microbial standing crop showed a net three- to fourfold increase between the foregut (crop) and rectum ...

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 All termites secrete trail pheromones from their sternal gland, whereas ants use a variety of glands for this purpose. This and the diversity of chemical compounds that serve as trail pheromones among ants, and the uniformity of chemicals among termite trails, suggest a different evolutionary historical dynamics for the development of chemical mass ...

Amitermes amicki, a New Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Termitidae: Termitinae) from Aruba
The Florida Entomologist, 1999 Amitermes amicki n. sp. is described from soldiers collected on Aruba. For comparison, the soldier of A. beaumonti is redescribed from specimens collected in Mexico, Belize, and Cuba. Amitermes amicki is the eighth congener thus far described from the Neotropical Region.

Confirmation of soil‐feeding termites (Isoptera; Termitidae; Termitinae) in Australia using stable isotope ratios [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 1998 1. Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope ratios of termites (Isoptera) were examined in Darwin, northern Australia. It is suggested that the stable isotope technique, together with phylogenetics, is a useful tool to understand the evolution of functional groups in detritivores. 2.
