Neoisopterans have a bifurcated caste development with true workers, and so notably lack pseudergates (except in some basal taxa such as Serritermitidae: see <a href="#Caste_system">below</a>). All Neoisopterans have a fontanelle, which appears as a circular pore or series of pores in a depressed region within the middle of the head. The fontanelle connects to the frontal gland, a novel organ unique to Neoisopteran termites which evolved to excrete an array of defensive chemicals and secretions, and so is typically most developed in the soldier caste.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> Cellulose digestion in the family Termitidae has co-evolved with <a href="/wiki/Bacteria" title="Bacteria">bacterial</a> gut microbiota<a href="#cite_note-53">[53]</a> and many <a href="/wiki/Taxon" title="Taxon">taxa</a> have evolved additional symbiotic relationships such as with the fungus <a href="/wiki/Termitomyces" title="Termitomyces">Termitomyces</a>; in contrast, basal Neoisopterans and all other Euisoptera have <a href="/wiki/Flagellate" title="Flagellate">flagellates</a> and <a href="/wiki/Prokaryote" title="Prokaryote">prokaryotes</a> in their hindguts.

Unlike ants, bees, and wasps which undergo a <a href="/wiki/Holometabolism" title="Holometabolism">complete metamorphosis</a> and as a result only exhibit developmental plasticity at the immobile <a href="/wiki/Larva" title="Larva">larval stage</a>, the mobile <a href="/wiki/Instar" title="Instar">adultoid instars</a> of termites remain developmentally flexible throughout all life stages up to the <a href="/wiki/Imago" title="Imago">final molt</a>, which has uniquely allowed for the evolution of distinct yet flexible castes amongst the immatures. As a result the caste system of termites consists mostly of <a href="/wiki/Neoteny" title="Neoteny">neotenous</a> or juvenile individuals that undertake the most labor in the colony, which is in contrast to the eusocial Hymenoptera where work is strictly undertaken by the adults. The developmental plasticity in termites can be described similarly to <a href="/wiki/Cell_potency" title="Cell potency">cell potency</a>, where each molt offers a varying level of phenotypic potency. Early instars typically exhibit the highest phenotypic potency and can be described as totipotent (able to molt into all alternative phenotypes), whereas following instars can be pluripotent (able to molt into reproductives and non-reproductives but cannot molt into at least one phenotype), to multipotent (able to molt into either reproductive or non-reproductive phenotypes), to unipotent (able to molt into developmentally close phenotypes), and then finally committed (no longer able to change phenotype, functionally an adult.)<a href="#cite_note-:4-75">[74]</a> In most termites, phenotypic potency decreases with every successive molt. Notable exceptions are basal taxa such as the <a href="/wiki/Archotermopsidae" title="Archotermopsidae">Archotermopsidae</a>, which are able to retain high developmental plasticity even up to the late instars. In these basal taxa, the immatures are able to go through progressive (nymph-to-imago), regressive (winged-to-wingless) and stationary (size increase, remains wingless) molts, which typically indicates the developmental trajectory an individual follows.<a href="#cite_note-:5-76">[75]</a><a href="#cite_note-:2-77">[76]</a> There is significant variation of the developmental patterns in termites even across closely related taxa, but can typically be generalized into the following two patterns: The first is the linear developmental pathway, where all immatures are capable of developing into winged adults (<a href="/wiki/Alate" title="Alate">Alates</a>), exhibit high phenotypic potency, and where there exists no true sterile caste other than the soldier. The second is the bifurcated developmental pathway, where immatures diverge into two distinct developmental lineages known as the nymphal (winged) and apterous (wingless) lines. The bifurcation occurs early, either at the egg or the first two instars, and represents an irreversible and committed development to either the reproductive or non-reproductive lifestyles. As such, the apterous lineage consists mostly of wingless and truly <a href="/wiki/Altruism_(biology)" title="Altruism (biology)">altruistic</a> sterile individuals (true workers, soldiers), whereas the nymphal lineage consists mainly of fertile individuals destined to become winged reproductives. The bifurcated developmental pathway is found mainly in the derived taxa (i.e. <a href="/wiki/Neoisoptera" class="mw-redirect" title="Neoisoptera">Neoisoptera</a>), and is believed to have evolved in tandem with the sterile worker caste as species moved to foraging for food beyond their nests, as opposed to the nest also being the food (such as in obligate wood-dwellers).<a href="#cite_note-:6-78">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-:5-76">[75]</a> There are three main castes which are discussed below: <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Termite_vs_Ant_Developmental_biology.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Termite_vs_Ant_Developmental_biology.png/220px-Termite_vs_Ant_Developmental_biology.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="144" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Termite_vs_Ant_Developmental_biology.png/330px-Termite_vs_Ant_Developmental_biology.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Termite_vs_Ant_Developmental_biology.png/440px-Termite_vs_Ant_Developmental_biology.png 2x" data-file-width="5446" data-file-height="3553" /></a><figcaption>Developmental biology of ants versus termites. As opposed to ants which have a linear and irreversible development from larval instars to adult (imago), termites exhibit a more complex and often bifurcated development which allows for more flexible caste pathways. Although in most termites, caste development is restricted to closely related pathways dependent on a variety of factors such as pheromonal cues, sex and size of an individual.</figcaption></figure> Worker termites undertake the most labor within the colony, being responsible for foraging, food storage, and brood and nest maintenance.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBignellRoisinLo201013-79">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-aus-80">[79]</a> Workers are tasked with the digestion of <a href="/wiki/Cellulose" title="Cellulose">cellulose</a> in food and are thus the most likely caste to be found in infested wood. The process of worker termites feeding other nestmates is known as <a href="/wiki/Trophallaxis" title="Trophallaxis">trophallaxis</a>. Trophallaxis is an effective nutritional tactic to convert and recycle nitrogenous components.<a href="#cite_note-trophal-81">[80]</a> It frees the parents from feeding all but the first generation of offspring, allowing for the group to grow much larger and ensuring that the necessary gut symbionts are transferred from one generation to another. Workers are believed to have evolved from older wingless immatures (Larvae) that evolved cooperative behaviors; and indeed in some basal <a href="/wiki/Taxon" title="Taxon">taxa</a> the late instar larvae are known to undertake the role of workers without differentiating as a true separate caste.<a href="#cite_note-aus-80">[79]</a><a href="#cite_note-:4-75">[74]</a> Workers can either be male or female, although in some species with <a href="/wiki/Polymorphism_(biology)" title="Polymorphism (biology)">polymorphic</a> workers either sex may be restricted to a certain developmental path. Workers may also be fertile or sterile, however the term "worker" is normally reserved for the latter, having evolved in taxa that exhibit a bifurcated developmental pathway.<a href="#cite_note-:6-78">[77]</a> As a result, sterile workers like in the family <a href="/wiki/Termitidae" title="Termitidae">Termitidae</a> are termed true workers and are the most derived, while those that are undifferentiated and fertile as in the wood-nesting <a href="/wiki/Archotermopsidae" title="Archotermopsidae">Archotermopsidae</a> are termed pseudergates, which are the most basal.<a href="#cite_note-:2-77">[76]</a> True workers are individuals which irreversibly develop from the apterous lineage and have completely forgo development into a winged adult. They display altruistic behaviors and either have terminal molts or exhibit a low level of phenotypical potency. True workers across different termite taxa (Mastotermitidae, Hodotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae & Termitidae) can widely vary in the level of developmental plasticity even between closely related taxa, with many species having true workers that can molt into the other apterous castes such as <a href="/wiki/Ergatoid" title="Ergatoid">ergatoids</a> (worker reproductive; apterous neotenics), soldiers, or the other worker castes. Pseudergates sensu stricto are individuals which arise from the linear developmental pathway that have regressively molted and lost their wing buds, and are regarded as totipotent immatures. They are capable of performing work but are overall less involved in labor and considered more cooperative than truly altruistic. Pseudergates sensu lato, otherwise known as false workers, are most represented in basal lineages (Kalotermitidae, Archotermopsidae, Hodotermopsidae, Serritermitidae) and closely resemble true workers in which they also perform most of the work and are similarly altruistic, however differ in developing from the linear developmental pathway where they exist in a stationary molt; i.e they have halted development before the growth of wing buds, and are regarded as pluripotent immatures.<a href="#cite_note-:2-77">[76]</a><a href="#cite_note-:5-76">[75]</a> The soldier caste is the most anatomically and behaviorally specialized, and their sole purpose is to defend the colony.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBignellRoisinLo201018-82">[81]</a> Many soldiers have large heads with highly modified powerful jaws so enlarged that they cannot feed themselves.

Unlike in ants, the male and female reproductives form lifelong pairs where the king will continue to mate with the queen throughout their lives.<a href="#cite_note-Keller1998-91">[90]</a> In some species, the abdomen of the queen swells up dramatically to increase <a href="/wiki/Fecundity" title="Fecundity">fecundity</a>, a characteristic known as <a href="/wiki/Physogastrism" title="Physogastrism">physogastrism</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBignellRoisinLo201013-79">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-techreport-90">[89]</a> Depending on the species, the queen starts producing reproductive alates at a certain time of the year, and huge swarms emerge from the colony when <a href="/wiki/Nuptial_flight" title="Nuptial flight">nuptial flight</a> begins. These swarms attract a wide variety of predators.<a href="#cite_note-techreport-90">[89]</a> The queens can be particularly long-lived for insects, with some reportedly living as long as 30 or 50 years. In both the linear and bifurcated developmental pathways, the primary reproductives only develop from winged immatures (nymphs). These winged immatures are capable of regressively molting into a form known as brachypterous neotenics (nymphoids), which retain juvenile and adult characteristics. BN's can be found in both the derived and basal termite taxa, and generally serve as supplementary reproductives.<a href="#cite_note-:4-75">[74]</a><a href="#cite_note-:5-76">[75]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Life_cycle">Life cycle</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Termite&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Life cycle">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Termite-by-RalfR.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A termite nymph looks like a smaller version of an adult but lacks the specialisations that would enable identification of its caste." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Termite-by-RalfR.jpg/250px-Termite-by-RalfR.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="131" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Termite-by-RalfR.jpg/330px-Termite-by-RalfR.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Termite-by-RalfR.jpg/500px-Termite-by-RalfR.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1391" data-file-height="826" /></a><figcaption>A young termite nymph featuring visible wing buds.

In the eusocial Hymenoptera, the workers are exclusively female. Males (drones) are haploid and develop from unfertilised eggs, while females (both workers and the queen) are diploid and develop from fertilised eggs. In contrast, worker termites, which constitute the majority in a colony, are <a href="/wiki/Diploid" class="mw-redirect" title="Diploid">diploid</a> individuals of both sexes and develop from fertilised eggs.

The main distinction being that while larvae are wholly dependent on other nestmates to survive, workers are independent and are able to feed themselves and contribute to the colony. Workers remain wingless and across many <a href="/wiki/Taxon" title="Taxon">taxa</a> become developmentally arrested, appearing to not change into any other caste until death.<a href="#cite_note-:4-75">[74]</a> In some basal taxa, there is no distinction, with the "workers" (pseudergates) essentially being late instar larvae that retain the ability to change into all other castes.<a href="#cite_note-:5-76">[75]</a> The development of larvae into adults can take months; the time period depends on food availability and nutrition, temperature, and the size of the colony.

A trail can be identified by the faecal deposits or runways that are covered by objects.

No single termite would be in charge of any particular construction project. Individual termites react rather than think, but at a group level, they exhibit a sort of collective cognition. Specific structures or other objects such as pellets of soil or pillars cause termites to start building. The termite adds these objects onto existing structures, and such behaviour encourages building behaviour in other workers. The result is a self-organised process whereby the information that directs termite activity results from changes in the environment rather than from direct contact among individuals.<a href="#cite_note-commu-172">[171]</a> Termites can distinguish nestmates and non-nestmates through chemical communication and gut symbionts: chemicals consisting of hydrocarbons released from the cuticle allow the recognition of alien termite species.<a href="#cite_note-186">[185]</a><a href="#cite_note-187">[186]</a> Each colony has its own distinct odour.

Termites are consumed in many regions globally, but this practice has only become popular in developed nations in recent years.<a href="#cite_note-greview-255">[254]</a> Termites are consumed by people in many different cultures around the world. In many parts of Africa, the <a href="/wiki/Alate" title="Alate">alates</a> are an important factor in the diets of native populations.<a href="#cite_note-delicacy-256">[255]</a> Groups have different ways of collecting or cultivating insects; sometimes collecting soldiers from several species.

They are regarded as pleasant in taste, having a nut-like flavour after they are cooked.<a href="#cite_note-delicacy-256">[255]</a> Alates are collected when the rainy season begins. During a nuptial flight, they are typically seen around lights to which they are attracted, and so nets are set up on lamps and captured alates are later collected. The wings are removed through a technique that is similar to <a href="/wiki/Winnowing" title="Winnowing">winnowing</a>. The best result comes when they are lightly roasted on a hot plate or fried until crisp. <a href="/wiki/Cooking_oil" title="Cooking oil">Oil</a> is not required as their bodies usually contain sufficient amounts of oil.
