1. Gut anatomy and ultrastructural features of the paunch epithelium in the Neotropical termite Serritermes serrifer (Blattaria, Isoptera, Serritermitidae)

Blattodea; Coptotermes; Heterotermes; Neotropics; Reticulitermes; Termitidae; bacterial adhesion; epithelium; foregut; hindgut; metabolites; midgut; mitochondria; rectum; synapomorphy; ultrastructure
Abstract:
... Termite gut comprises a long tube divided into several compartments. The well-developed hindgut includes five distinct portions, in which microbial communities are harbored, being responsible for different physiological and digestive processes. An enlarged compartment of the hindgut, the paunch, comprises a sac–like structure whose morphological features differ among termite taxa. The Neotropical ...

Subject:
Blattodea; DNA primers; Hymenopodidae; Metallyticidae; gene duplication; genes; mitochondrial genome; models; monophyly; synapomorphy; transfer RNA
Abstract:
... We acquired 21 complete mitogenomes and 6 nearly complete mitogenomes of mantises belonging to 8 families (Hymenopodidae, Iridopterygidae, Mantidae, Metallyticidae, Sibyllidae, Tarachodidae, Thespidae, Toxoderidae) using 14 pairs of mantid specific primer sets and found that 5 species of mantises have duplicate copies (2–4) of trnR: Ambivia undata, Creobroter jiangxiensis, Creobroter urbanus, Phyl ...

Abstract:
... Neocapritermes opacus is a Neotropical termite, which feeds on a variety of food sources, including highly decayed wood and humus. Similar to many Termitidae, this species contains a mixed segment in the intestine, an anatomic distinct region composed of both mesenteric and proctodeal tissues. In Neocapritermes spp., a pair of intestinal protrusions referred to as mesenteric sacs are associated wi ...

Subject:
Blattodea; Termitidae; exocrine glands; secretion; synapomorphy
Abstract:
... Termites have developed many exocrine glands, generally dedicated to defence or communication. Although a few of these glands occur in all termite species, or represent synapomorphies of larger clades, others are morphological innovations of a single species, or a few related species. Here, we describe the nasus gland, a new gland occurring at the base of the nasus of Angularitermes soldiers. The ...

Blattodea; Cretaceous period; Hodotermitidae; Late Jurassic epoch; Mastotermes; amber; body size; monophyly; new species; synapomorphy; Myanmar
Abstract:
... Five finely preserved termites from the mid‐Cretaceous (Cenomanian) amber of Myanmar provide new information allowing a reanalysis of the phylogeny of basal termites. The Mastotermitidae family is recovered as monophyletic, and a redefined Hodotermitidae sensu lato is also monophyletic to include Archotermopsidae, Hodotermitidae and Stolotermitidae. Such a phylogenetic relationship agrees with the ...
