The evolution of symmetrical snapping in termite soldiers need not lead to reduced chemical defence

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Termite soldiers use a multitude of defensive strategies, often combining mechanical weapons with defensive chemicals secreted from their frontal gland. In higher termites (Termitidae), both these weapons are situated in the head of the soldiers. Their simultaneous occurrence is supposed to be subjected to energetic and spatial constraints and the resulting trade-off often leads to a full development of only one of the weapons and reduction of the other. Mandibular snapping represents an extreme and efficient anatomical adaptation, allowing the soldier to knock out arthropod enemies with a violent strike of elongated mandibles. The head of snapping soldiers harbours massive adductor muscles while the frontal gland is reported to be reduced and the chemical defence absent. Here we show that the symmetrical snapping soldiers of the Neotropical termite Cavitermes tuberosus possess a well-developed frontal gland situated in the frontal projection on their head. The gland produces a blend o
