Influence of Fungal Odor on Grooming Behavior of the Termite,Coptotermes formosanus [PDF]
The termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) protects itself from entomopathogenic fungus by mutual grooming behavior. C. formosanus removes foreign organisms, such as fungal conidia, from the body surface of its nestmates by mutual grooming behavior and eating them.

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

Attraction-Mediated Synergy: Insecticide Toxicity Against <i>Coptotermes formosanus</i> Enhanced by <i>Trichoderma</i> Metabolites. [PDF]
Previous studies have demonstrated that Trichoderma metabolites triggered aggregation behavior in Coptotermes formosanus (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae). Building on this, the present work systematically evaluated the behavioral effects of three specific ...

Mortality and repellent effects of microbial pathogens on Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
Two entomopathogenic fungi, Isaria fumosorosea and Metarhizium anisopliae, and one bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis, were tested for their ability to cause mortality of Formosan subterranean termites (FST), Coptotermes formosanus (Shiraki), after liquid exposure, and for their lack of propensity to repel FST.The fungus Isaria fumosorosea at 108 spores/
