Morphometric Analysis of <i>Coptotermes</i> spp. Soldier Caste (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) in Indonesia and Evidence of <i>Coptotermes gestroi</i> Extreme Head-Capsule Shapes

Morphometric Analysis of <i>Coptotermes</i> spp. Soldier Caste (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) in Indonesia and Evidence of <i>Coptotermes gestroi</i> Extreme Head-Capsule Shapes

Linear and geometric morphometrics approaches were conducted to analyze the head capsule (HC) shape of collected soldier caste specimens of <i>Coptotermes</i> from various locations in Indonesia. The soldiers’ morphology was observed and measured. The results of the principal component a...
