EVAULATION OF INSECTICIDES FOR WESTERN DRYWOOD TERMITE CONTROL, 2008 [PDF]

open access: yesArthropod Management Tests, 2009
Six insecticides were tested for their effectiveness as localized treatments against Incisitermes minor populations contained in naturally infested boards. Candidate boards were collected from homes and decks from several cities in California. Boards were determined active for drywood termites using portable detection equipment that included termite ...

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)

open access: yesAustral 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 ...

Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 219-231, October 2024.
The evolution of obligate asexuality is thought to be prevented in animals whose males play crucial roles beyond the contribution of gametes. While obligate asexuality had not until recently been observed in termites whose colonies commonly comprise both male and female reproductives, workers, and soldiers, all‐female asexual populations of the termite

Evaluation of a Localized Treatment Technique Using Three Ready-to-Use Products Against the Drywood Termite Incisitermes snyderi (Kalotermitidae) in Naturally Infested Lumber

open access: yesInsects, 2012
Twenty-one boards infested with drywood termites were examined for activity using a TermatracÒ motion detector. Termite galleries were identified using a Resistograph drill and treated with one of three ready-to-use (RTU) products. Results indicated that

The Durability of Teak Sapwood from Community Forest Treatened by Boron Compound though Lowry-Preservation Method against Subterranean And Dry-Wood Termites

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Kehutanan, 2021
Nowadays, most of teak wood that available on the market was mainly from comunity forest. Those teak woods were commonly harvested in the early age. The young teak wood from community forests possesses lower proportion of heartwood than sapwood.

Genes underlying reproductive division of labor in termites, with comparisons to social Hymenoptera

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016
All social insects are characterized by a reproductive division of labor. Within a colony only a few individuals reproduce (queens and in termites, also a king) while the large majority (workers and soldiers) forgo reproduction, at least temporarily. The

ALIMENTARY CANAL ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE WORKER TERMITE NEOTERMES BOSEI

open access: yesBiotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2011
As social insects, termites live in a colony that consist of reproductive (drone and queen), and non-reproductive (soldiers and workers) castes. Workers obtain their food directly from wood, humus, and other substances that contain cellulose.
