Quantifying the role of termite decomposition in a mesic savanna

Biotropica, Volume 56, Issue 4, July 2024.
Savanna ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate and land‐use changes yet lack precise assessments of carbon cycling. In a large‐scale termite suppression experiment, we found that termites accounted for two thirds of the mass loss from dry wood and a third of the mass loss from fresh native wood, dry dung, and dry grass.

Effects of fipronil bait on the sugarcane growth and yield in Kume Island, Japan. [PDF]

2006年に新たに土壌害虫駆除用として農薬登録されたFipronilベイト剤がサトウキビの生育および収量に与える影響について,沖縄県久米島の圃場で調査を行た.Fipronilベイト剤区における植付け苗の食害率は,無処理区に比べて有意に減少しており,Ethylthiodemeton粒剤区に比べても低い傾向にあった．Fipronilベイト剤区におけるサトウキビの生育本数は,慣行薬剤であるEthylthiodemeton粒剤区や無処理区に比べ増加していた.特に ...

A rodent and tick bait for controlling white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) and blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), the respective pathogen host and vector of the Lyme disease spirochetes.

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
A promising alternative approach to conventional vector and rodent control practices is the use of a bait containing a rodenticide and acaricide in controlling vectors and pathogen reservoirs concurrently.
