Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2000 This paper provides fundamental information on distribution and density of the genus Cubitermes, Wasm. quantified for future monitoring. After distribution trends have been established, changes in Cubitermes density over time can be brought into ...

Termite Communities in Sugarcane Plantations in Southeastern Brazil: an Ecological Approach
EntomoBrasilis, 2015 Termites are key components of soil fauna, playing an essential role in organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling. However, they can cause significant economic losses in commercial plantations, such as sugar cane.

Austral 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 ...

Mutual use of trail-following chemical cues by a termite host and its inquiline.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Termite nests are often secondarily inhabited by other termite species ( = inquilines) that cohabit with the host. To understand this association, we studied the trail-following behaviour in two Neotropical species, Constrictotermes cyphergaster ...

Social polymorphism and gut desing in “higher termites” : a case study in neotropical termitinae [PDF]
, 2015 The main structure and detailed characteristics of the digestive tube of termites are known for many genera from the Neotropical and other biogeographical regions, due to its functional, taxonomic and phylogenetic relevance.

Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies
Population Ecology, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 219-231, October 2024.The evolution of obligate asexuality is thought to be prevented in animals whose males play crucial roles beyond the contribution of gametes. While obligate asexuality had not until recently been observed in termites whose colonies commonly comprise both male and female reproductives, workers, and soldiers, all‐female asexual populations of the termite
