Circadian Rhythms of Locomotor Activity Mediated by <i>Cryptochrome 2</i> and <i>Period 1</i> Genes in the Termites <i>Reticulitermes chinensis</i> and <i>Odontotermes formosanus</i>

Locomotor activity rhythms are crucial for foraging, mating and predator avoidance in insects. Although the circadian rhythms of activity have been studied in several termite species, the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythms in termites are still unclear. In this study, we found that two termit...
