Global thermal-safety margin patterns offer valuable insights into species' vulnerabilities to climate warming, shedding light on the historical interplay between physiology and behavior in protecting species from temperature extremes. Considering the projected increase in temperature and the intensity of extreme weather events, the general objective of this SPRINT-FAPESP proposal is to i…
Climate change is affecting biodiversity on the planet, especially in the case of termites, as these organisms cannot quickly move to more suitable locations, affecting the distribution of species and their ecosystem functions. Considering the projected increase in temperature and the intensity of extreme weather events, the general objective of this proposal will be to investigate how ne…
The evolution of the symbiotic association with microbes allowed termites to decompose ingested lignocellulose from plant derived substrates, including herbivore dung and soil humus. However, some aspects of lignocelulose digestion of higher termites remain unknown. Representatives of Termitidae range in their feeding habits from wood and litter-feeding to humus-feeding species. These ins…

This project aims to investigate the thermoregulation capacity of Anoplotermes pacificus termite nests (Termitidae: Apicotermitinae) in response to climate change. Termites, like other eusocial insects, build nests that serve essential functions for the colony, including protection against climatic variations. However, the ability of these nests to maintain a stable microclimate, especial…
Termites play essential roles in the ecosystem. However, human-induced climate change, characterized by rising temperatures and decreasing precipitation, is disrupting the vital activities of these arthropods. While morphological characteristics influence climatic tolerance in some insects, behavioral factors and habitat play equally crucial roles in determining their ability to withstand…
Some plants defend themselves against herbivory by using toxic secondary metabolites which can act by repelling or affecting the performance of their natural enemies. Tropane alkaloids constitute the main group of secondary metabolites in solanaceous plants of Daturae tribe, being scopolamine and atropine the most abundant tropane alkaloids in the genera Brugmansia and Datura. According…
