Abstract

Termites are highly socialized insects with multiple castes and exquisite behavior. Caste differentiation is the basis of termites’ socialized life and is a critical question in the life sciences. Termite caste differentiation can be mainly divided into two types: the differentiation of reproductive individuals and that of non-reproductive individuals, which includes the group members’ perception of the environment, the transmission of related information, the physiological response of individuals to external information, and hormone regulatory pathways. The information on the individual type and physiological state is mainly mediated by cuticular hydrocarbon and volatile compounds (pheromones). Termite caste differentiation is mainly regulated by brain hormones(BH), molting hormone (MH) and juvenile hormone (JH). Among these hormones, JH plays an important role in the regulation of caste differentiation. Upstream signals of MH and JH, for example, brain hormones, insulin, biogenic amines, growth factors, and genomes, apoptotic decisions, storage proteins, and epigenetic pathways may be related to downstream signals. Further research should investigate the signaling of nutritional factors, the role of molting hormones and epigenetic pathways.
