In this review, we summarize the 22 exocrine glands hitherto described for termites
(Isoptera), highlighting their distribution, morphological features, and likely function. The …

Comparing the size of functionally distinct brain regions across individuals with remarkable
differences in sensory processing and cognitive demands provides important insights into …

In 1995, the launch of the first commercial chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI) bait led to the
transformation of the subterranean termite control industry around the world. Their slow …

Abstract Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, resembling A-to-G mutation, confers
adaptiveness by increasing proteomic diversity in a temporal-spatial manner. This …

Stylotermitidae appear peculiar among all termites, feeding in trunks of living trees in South
Asia only. The difficulty to collect them limits the ability to study them, and they thus still …

Simple Summary Soldiers and workers collectively perform defensive behaviors in termite
colonies. To determine the molecular mechanism driving the defensive behaviors of termite …

The large abundance of termites is partially achieved by their defensive abilities.
Stylotermitidae represented by a single extant genus, Stylotermes, is a member of a termite …

Subterranean termites rely on chemical and vibroacoustic communication as they live
enclosed in tunnels in the soil or wood. While social context is known to influence colony …

Coptotermes laboratory research has historically relied on the ability to manipulate groups of
termites for experimental protocols. However, there is an accumulation of scientific literature …
