Abstract:
... Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) of neuropeptides has become a well-established method with the ability to combine spatially resolved information from immunohistochemistry with peptidomics information from mass spectrometric analysis. Several studies have conducted MSI of insect neural tissues; however, these studies did not detect neuropeptide complements in manners comparable to those of conventi ...

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 ...

Manipulation with low temperatures is a primary nonchemical pest control method. For stored product and food industry practitioners, a knowledge of pest thermal requirements, in particular threshold temperatures at which developme ...

Abstract:
... Termites are the principal decomposers in tropical and subtropical ecosystems around the world. Time-calibrated molecular phylogenies show that some lineages of Neoisoptera diversified during the Oligocene and Miocene, and acquired their pantropical distribution through transoceanic dispersal events, probably by rafting in wood. In this paper, we intend to resolve the historical biogeography of on ...

A salient feature of the insect olfactory system is its ability to detect and interpret simultaneously the identity and concentration of an odorant signal along with the temporal stimulus cues that are essential for accurate odorant tracking. The olfactory system of the cockroach utilizes two parallel pathways for encoding of odorant identity and the moment-to-moment succession of odorant concentr ...

Abstract:
... In termites, primary reproductives proceed through dispersal flight with finite metabolic reserves. During colony foundation, the mated pair requires just enough resources to produce the first few workers, through biparental care. When alloparental care is established, the primary reproductives are fully supported by their own offspring. It was, therefore, argued that the pressure to accumulate la ...
