Assessment of Genetic Markers for the Determination ofCoptotermes formosanus×Coptotermes gestroi(Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) F1 Hybrids [PDF]
Florida Entomologist, 2017 Summary This study investigated nuclear markers in Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) that can be used as a diagnostic tool to detect F1 hybrids from field samples. Six microsatellite markers were compatible for both parental species and hybrid termites and were optimized so that a standard gene

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Success in a biological invasion often depends on whether the non‐native species can disperse from its introduction site and spread across the invaded landscape. The alpine newt, Ichthyosaura alpestris, has achieved a widespread distribution in Britain in the last century, with new records continuously reported. The objective of this study

Utility of Acoustical Detection of Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Sociobiology, 2013 The AED 2000 and 2010 are extremely sensitive listening devices which can effectively detect and monitor termite activity through a wave guide (e.g. bolt) both qualitatively and quantitatively. Experiments conducted with one to ten thousand termites from differing colonies infesting wood in buckets demonstrated that acoustical emission detector ...

The Microbiome Within a Microbe: Rethinking Blastocystis Biology
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Blastocystis spp., one of the most prevalent microeukaryotes in the human gut, has long puzzled researchers with its ambiguous role in health and disease. Decades‐old microscopy studies reported bacterial‐ and viral‐like particles within Blastocystis spp. cells, but these findings have been mainly overlooked.

Swarming of the Formosan Subterranean Termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki in Hawaii (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 1983 Light trap collections monitored weekly over a 2-year period on Oahu indicated that major swarming of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki occurred from April to July. The heaviest swarms occurred in May.

Sociobiology, 2013 Nine years of periodic acoustical monitoring of 93 trees active with Formosan subterranean termite,Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, were evaluated for imidacloprid tree foam and noviflumuron bait to reduce termite activity in trees.

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Although synthetic pesticides have long been used to protect crops, their widespread use has led to significant health and environmental problems, including ecological contamination, resistant pest populations, and hazardous residues in food. These restrictions have sparked interest in natural pesticides (NPs), particularly the secondary metabolites of

Sociobiology, 2015 Two subterranean termite species were subjected to combinations of six temperatures (10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, or 35°C) and five relative humidities (RH) (55, 65, 75, 85, or 99%) to determine optimum conditions for survival.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We investigated the role of chemosensory gene expression in caste differentiation of the damp‐wood termite Zootermopsis nevadensis. Gene expression analyses revealed that third‐instar larvae destined to become workers exhibited significantly higher expression of key olfactory receptor genes in their antennae, suggesting that differences in chemosensory
