Elemental analysis of Worker Mandibles of Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Mandibles of workers of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki were subjected to normal- and micro- PIXE analyses to obtain their elemental profiles. Among 14 elements, Mn and Fe were evidenced to accumulate in mandibles by normal-PIXE analysis.

Laboratory Evaluation and Ranked Preference Assessment of Subterranean Termites Coptotermes Formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) on Pecan Cultivars of Carya Illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch in Texas [PDF]
Feeding preferences of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki were evaluated on 60 field-collected pecan Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) cultivars. The Moneymaker cultivar of C. illinoinensis was most preferred by C.
