Mandibular glands in reproductives of asian termite coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
(Comite Interamericano Soc Microscopia Electronica-ciasem, 2009-01-01)
This study reports on the morphology of the mandibular glands in reproductives of Coptotermes gestroi, including foraging nymphs and queens of different ages. These exocrine glands are very small and located between the ...
Expanding the knowledge on lignocellulolytic and redox enzymes of worker and soldier castes from the lower termite Coptotermes gestroi
(2016-10-13)
Termites are considered one of the most efficient decomposers of lignocelluloses on Earth due to their ability to produce, along with its microbial symbionts, a repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). Recently, ...
X-ray computed tomography reveals that intraspecific competition promotes soldier differentiation in a one-piece nesting termite
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)
© 2017 The Netherlands Entomological Society Investment in soldier production in eusocial lineages involves a trade-off between maintenance costs and defense benefits. Termites are eusocial insects that live in colonies ...
Nutrients affecting food choice by the pest subterranean termite Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010-01-01)
Coptotermes gestroi is a subterranean termite from Asia, introduced accidentally to Brazil, where it is responsible for substantial damage in urban areas. The foraging range of this species frequently overlap with that of ...
Application of sonic and ultrasonic waves as means of control of underground termites Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) in radiata pine wood Aplicación de ondas sónicas y ultrasónicas como medio de control del ataque de termitas subterráneas Reticulitermes
(Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos, 2008)
The behavior of the termites was analyzed when applying sonic and ultrasonic waves with different frequencies, levels of energy, and waveform to establish the conditions to create a physical barrier to the action of the ...
Soldier head morphology of the Neotropical termites: Embiratermes festivellus Silvestri and Spinitermes brevicornutus (Desneux) (Isoptera, Termitidae)
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia, 2014)
Comment-Advanced Early Jurassic Termite (Insecta:Isoptera) Nests: Evidence from the Clarens Formation in the Tuli Basin, Southern Africa (Bordy et al., 2004)
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2005-12)
The contribution by Bordy et al. (2004) lacks the pertinent macro and micromorphological analyses and comparisons with modern nests that would allow their attribution to termites. It also lacks any analysis about the age ...
