Are Hong Kong and Taiwan stepping‐stones for invasive species to the mainland of China?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1966-1973, February 2018., 2018
It can be concluded that Taiwan and Hong Kong are stepping‐stones for invasive species to the mainland of China. Then group comparisons between Taiwan and Hainan, and between Hong Kong and Macao are conducted to find out that colonial rule and economical and trade activities are the driving forces for alien species invasion and that islands are more ...

Anti-termite activities of Indonesia’s essential oils against invasive drywood termite for wood product protection

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract The Indo-Malayan drywood termite, Cryptotermes cynocephalus (Light) (Kalotermitidae), is considered one of the most invasive drywood termites in the Southeast Asian region. Once infesting a timber, the colony of a drywood termite is very difficult to be controlled.

Why are trees hollow? Termites, microbes and tree internal stem damage in a tropical savanna

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 770-782, March 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wood plays a vital role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, both sequestering and subsequently releasing carbon to the atmosphere via decomposition. Decomposition has largely been studied in fallen and standing deadwood; much less is known about decomposition occurring ...

Comparative study of humic acids of the mound of a wood-feeding termite and of the litter directly below in the Amazon river delta [PDF]

, 2006
In order to determine the role of termites in the recycling of organic matter and in humification processes, organic matter from the mound of a wood-feeding termite (Nasutitermes sp.) and from the litter directly below has been studied in secondary ...

Commodity risk assessment of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to deliver a risk assessment on the likelihood of pest freedom from regulated EU quarantine pests, with emphasis on Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its vectors Monochamus spp. of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride as proposed by the United States (US) and

Investigation of heat transfer in timber boards and a simulated wall section to eliminate colonies of the west Indian drywood termite, Cryptotermes brevis (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 425-433, November 2024.
Abstract Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae) is one of the most destructive drywood termites that attack moisture‐protected timber in service. Heat treatment has been studied to control these termites, but the low thermal conductivity of wood can result in prolonged treatment times and the need for high temperatures to eliminate ...
