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 ...

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2019 Termite societies are abundant in the tropics, and are therefore exposed to multiple enemies and predators, especially during foraging activity. Soldiers constitute a specialized defensive caste, although workers also participate in this process, and even display suicidal behavior, which is the case with the species Neocapritermes braziliensis. Here we
