Termites form one-piece nests in wood that can vary in their moisture content and degree of decomposition, and thus microbial richness. To estimate the microbial load of nests and the potential risk they pose for colony members, we quantified the num

Termite primary reproductives may be exposed to pathogens when dispersing from their parental nest and establishing a new colony. Immunity and reproduction are inves-tigated during colony foundation by implanting a nylon filament into the abdomen of

Recent research has shown that low genetic variation in individuals can increase susceptibility to infection and group living may exacerbate pathogen transmission. In the eusocial diploid termites, cycles of outbreeding and inbreeding characterizing

Pathogens have likely infl uenced life-history evolution in social insects because their nesting ecology and sociality can exacerbate the risk of disease transmission and place demands on the immune system that ultimately can impact colony survival a

To determine the impact of inbreeding and outbreeding on disease resistance and survival during colony foundation, nestmate (NM) and non-nestmate (NON) primary reproductives of the dampwood termite Zootermopsis angusticollis were exposed to a single

Density-dependent prophylaxis (DDP) is a mechanism of disease resistance found in some insects that adjust their immune defense according to population density. The demonstration of DDP in several insect taxa suggests that it might be a general mecha

Termites live in nests that can differ in microbial load and thus vary in degree of disease risk. It was hypothesized that termite investment in immune response would differ in species living in nest environments that vary in the richness and abundan
