The Nevada termite is preyed on by passerine birds, shrews, spiders, lizards, salamanders, frogs, and toads.

The main objective of sequencing Zootermopsis nevadensis genome was to find molecular traces of eusociality.

There are other gene families which are not expanded but shows a differential expression pattern among developmental stages and castes.

Zootermopsis nevadensis shows expansion on genes implied in chemical communication, a crucial component in insects societies.

The great difference between ORs and IRs gives an opportunity to study the organization of the olfactive lobe.

The glomeruli are tightly packed and they are composed by terminal axons projected from receptor neurons to the antennae.

There were found all the vias related to immunity in Drosophila and other insects, including pattern recognition receptors, signaling pathways and regulatory genes.

Pathogens play an important role in eusocial insects, but the mechanisms improved to combat them differs in a taxon-specific manner.

Within Hymenoptera it has been proposed some regulators including vitelogenines (Vgs), juvenile hormone (JH), biogenic amines and other regulator like juvenile hormone binding proteins and some signaling pathways like insulin/insulin growth factor and yellow/major royal jelly protein like genes.
