The impact of social complexity on the efficacy of natural selection in termites by Roux, Camille, Ha, Alice, Weyna, Arthur, Lode, Morgan, Romiguier, Jonathan

“…In eusocial species, reproduction is monopolized by a few reproductive individuals.From the perspective of population genetics, this implies that the effective population size (Ne) of these organisms is likely to be smaller compared to solitary species, as has been proposed in the literature for eusocial hymenoptera. In this study, we investigate the genomic consequences of eusociality in termites (Isoptera) on two different timescales. …”

Análise faunística e sazonalidade de insetos edáficos em ecossistemas da Área de Proteção Ambiental do Araripe em duas estações do ano, Barbalha-CE by Francisco Roberto de Azevedo, Raul Azevedo, Cícero Antônio Mariano dos Santos, Daniel Rodrigues Nere, Eridiane da Silva Moura

“…Os insetos edáficos ocorrem com maior abundância na estação chuvosa da Área de Proteção Ambiental do Araripe, com maior concentração na mata úmida, sendo que os Coleoptera são mais ricos em número de famílias e espécimes nos quatro ecossistemas, tanto na estação chuvosa como na seca. Já os Hymenoptera, da família Formicidae, ocorrem frequentemente em todos os ecossistemas, predominando na área agrícola da estação chuvosa as formigas cortadeiras, enquanto que os Orthoptera Gryllidae e os Hemiptera Cydnidae predominam no fragmento de mata, onde os grilos ocorrem tanto na estação chuvosa como seca na mesma frequência, e os percevejos castanhos ocorrem com maior frequência somente na estação chuvosa. …”
