Hybridization of two major termite invaders as a consequence of human activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 While hybridization of an invasive species with a native species is a common occurrence, hybridization between two invasive species is rare. Formosan subterranean termites (Coptotermes formosanus) and Asian subterranean termites (C.

Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

Preliminary effects of a natural bait on Coptotermes gestroi
This poster presents preliminary field results from a natural-bait trial targeting the invasive subterranean termite Coptotermes gestroi in coastal areas of Réunion Island. The trial used an 8% active polyphenolic pellet formulation converted into a paste and introduced directly into active cavities in infested Casuarina equisetifolia.

Rotten to the core? Drivers of the vertical profile and accumulation of internal tree stem damage
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 8, Page 1908-1922, August 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trees are important above‐ground carbon sinks in savanna ecosystems, yet consumption of internal wood by decomposers (e.g. termites and microbes) creates uncertainties in tree biomass accounting.

Polyethism during the intermolt in Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann)
Insectes SociauxAbstract Termites are eusocial insects with cryptic behavior. One behavior observed in subterranean termites is age polyethism, in which individuals of different ages perform tasks according to their physiological changes.

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 44, Issue 3, Page 213-453, May/June 2025.Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.
