Seasonal and Daily Patterns in Activity of the Western Drywood Termite, Incisitermes minor (Hagen)
Insects, 2011 Activity of colonies of the western drywood termite, Incisitermes minor, was measured with acoustic emission (AE) technology in five loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) logs. Termite activity, whether it was feeding, excavation or movement, was monitored for 11

Multifunctional queen pheromone and maintenance of reproductive harmony in termite colonies. [PDF]
, 2012 Pheromones are likely involved in all social activities of social insects including foraging, sexual behavior, defense, nestmate recognition, and caste regulation. Regulation of the number of fertile queens requires communication between reproductive and

Tropical wood resistance to the West Indian drywood termite
Pest Management Science, 2017 AbstractBACKGROUNDThe importance and impact of invasive species are usually considered based on their economic implications, particularly the direct damage that they cause. The West Indian drywood termite Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) is an example and is a concern in structural lumber, furniture, and other wood products.

Disease Resistance in the Drywood Termite,Incisitermes schwarzi: Does Nesting Ecology Affect Immunocompetence? [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2010 Termites live in nests that can differ in microbial load and thus vary in degree of disease risk. It was hypothesized that termite investment in immune response would differ in species living in nest environments that vary in the richness and abundance of microbes.

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

Trail communication regulated by two trail pheromone : components in the fungus-growing termite Odontotermes formosanus (Shiraki) [PDF]
, 2014 The eusocial termites are well accomplished in chemical communication, but how they achieve the communication using trace amount of no more than two pheromone components is mostly unknown.

ALIMENTARY CANAL ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE WORKER TERMITE NEOTERMES BOSEI
Biotropia: 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.
