Social polymorphism and gut desing in “higher termites” : a case study in neotropical termitinae

The main structure and detailed characteristics of the digestive tube of termites are known for many genera from the Neotropical and other biogeographical regions, due to its functional, taxonomic and phylogenetic relevance. However, there are only some studies on the intraspecifíc intestinal differ...
