Life and Death of Termite Colonies, a Decades-Long Age Demography Perspective

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
A eusocial insect colony represents a complex biological entity that must ensure degrees of perennity once it reaches maturity (production of dispersing imagoes over many successive years) to optimize its reproductive success.

Cellulase activities in different castes of two termites: Reticulitermes flaviceps and Coptotermes formosanus

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2001
Cellulase and its component activities, endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase, exo-1,4-β-D-glucanase and β-Glucosidase were measured in workers, soldiers and reproductives in Reticulitermes flaviceps and Coptotermes formosanus. The results showed that cellulase existed

Concentration-Dependent Feeding Deterrence to 20-Hydroxyecdysone for Three Subterranean Termite Species (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae)

Insects, 2021
Effective active ingredients in toxicant bait formulations must be non-deterrent to insect feeding behavior at lethal concentrations. This study evaluated feeding deterrence for Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, C.

Lipid Components of Coptotermes formosanus (a Sort of Termites)

Journal of Japan Oil Chemists' Society, 1986
The fatty components of each caste of Coptotermes formosanus (worker, soldier, alate and larva of alate) were studied for determination of fatty and sterol composition. The major fatty acid components of all samples were 18 : 1, 16 : 0 and 18 : 0. But, 22.0 and 24 : 0 as fatty acids were detected in the fatty components of soldier. 17 : 0 and 17 : 1 as

Individual Behavior of Workers of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) on Consecutive Days of Tunnel Construction

Insects, 2012
This study examines the individual behavior of workers of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shirkai, on two consecutive days of tunnel construction. In each trial, a group of 30 termite workers was observed continuously during the

Interspecific Competition and Territory Defense Mechanisms ofCoptotermes formosanusandCoptotermes gestroi(Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

Environmental Entomology, 2010
Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and C. gestroi (Wasmann) are the most widely distributed species of the genus and occur sympatrically in the subtropics. Results of two bioassays in the current study showed that C. gestroi was more aggressive than C. formosanus. In the petri-dish bioassays, C.
