Neotenic formation in laboratory colonies of the termite Coptotermes gestroi after orphaning
(Univ Arizona, 2004-01-01)
The termite Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann 1896) ( Rhinotermitidae: Coptotermitinae) is an exotic species in Brazil and information concerning its reproductive developmental biology is scarce. We induced the formation of ...
Caste differentiation pathways in the Neotropical termite Silvestritermes euamignathus (Isoptera: Termitidae)
(2016-07-01)
Termites are hemimetabolous insects that commonly exhibit a bifurcation in post-embryonic development, with the presence of two lines: (i) the nymphal–imaginal line; and (ii) the apterous line. The former comprises the ...

Multiple nymphoid reproductives in the nests of the neotropical termite, Armitermes euamignathus (Isoptera, Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae)
(1996-12-01)
Armitermes euamignathus Silvestri (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) is a mound building termite that is common in Brazilian regions of the Cerrado vegetation. Multiple neotenic reproductives were found in three isolated nests ...
Transplanting macrophytes as a rehabilitation technique for lowland streams and their influence on macroinvertebrate assemblages
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2021-07)
Lowland streams are usually affected by river engineering works that produce the loss of habitat heterogeneity. Our aim was to assess the transplantation of macrophytes with different complexity into a lowland stream which ...
Invertebrate herbivory on floating-leaf macrophytes at the northeast of Argentina: Should the damage be taken into account in estimations of plant biomass?
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2018-03)
We assessed the damage produced by invertebrate herbivores per leaf lamina and per m2 of populations floating-leaf macrophytes of Neotropical wetlands in the growth and decay periods, and assessed if the damage produced ...
Unrelated secondary reproductives in the neotropical termite Silvestritermes euamignathus (Isoptera: Termitidae)
(2016-01-19)
A termite colony is usually founded by a pair of alates, the primary reproductives, which produce all the nestmates. In some species, secondary reproductives appear to either replace the primaries or supplement colony ...
