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

Living Plants in Hawaii Attacked by Coptotermes formosanus [PDF]
, 1983 Forty-seven species of living plants in 27 families were found infested by Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki in Hawaii. The symptoms caused by the infestations were dependent on the mode of attack.

A Comparison of Morphology among Four Termite Species with Different Moisture Requirements
Insects, 2020 The thicknesses of the cuticle and rectal pads, and the spiracle morphology were compared for four termite species from different habitats, including one drywood termite, Cryptotermes brevis Walker, one “wetwood” termite, Cryptotermes cavifrons Banks ...

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.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Termites are eusocial insects that maintain cohesion and exchange information through frequent physical interactions among nestmates. This social organisation underlies the principle of horizontal insecticide transfer, which is widely exploited as a termite control strategy.

Urban Habitat Mosaics Structure Gene Flow but Preserve Genetic Diversity in an Invasive Termite
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.We investigated how urbanization shapes genetic diversity, population structure, and colony organization in the invasive termite Heterotermes tenuis across paired urban‐forest sites in Guadeloupe, using 18 microsatellite loci to genotype 414 workers from 50 nests. While neutral genetic diversity remained comparable between habitats, significant genetic

Details of the digestive system in the midgut of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki
Journal of Wood Science, 2010 Wood-feeding termites have evolved an efficient cellulose-decomposing system. The termite has two independent cellulose-digesting systems: one in the midgut and the other in the hindgut. Because the digestion system in the midgut should be the sole source of soluble sugars for the host termite, the details of the decomposition of wood particles in the ...
