Castes of the damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis sjostedti. A: Alate. B: Soldier. C: Pseudergates. D: Diagram of the caste-differentiation pathway, modified from Miura et al. [41]. The highlighted text denotes the castes used in the present study, and the non-highlighted, parenthesized letters are the short transitional stages used in the study. In the "JHA-Treated Pseudergate" category, we prepared several time stages after JHA application. Gray arrows indicate transitions with molting, white arrows indicate those without molting, and the black arrow indicates hatching.
