Interspecific behavioural interference and range dynamics: current insights and future directions
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2012-2027, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Novel biotic interactions in shifting communities play a key role in determining the ability of species' ranges to track suitable habitat. To date, the impact of biotic interactions on range dynamics have predominantly been studied in the context of interactions between different trophic levels or, to a lesser extent, exploitative competition ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 638-656, March 2023., 2023 Abstract The spongy moth, Lymantria dispar, is an irruptive forest pest native to Eurasia where its range extends from coast to coast and overspills into northern Africa. Accidentally introduced from Europe in Massachusetts in 1868–1869, it is now established in North America where it is considered a highly destructive invasive pest.

Insect Science, Volume 30, Issue 1, Page 185-196, February 2023., 2023 Ergosterol is a significantly different volatile matter in the entomopathogenic fungus‐exposed termites. Ergosterol attracts termites and enhances the allogrooming behavior of termites in the presence of entomopathogenic fungi. Abstract Termites have physiological and behavioral immunities that make them highly resistant to pathogen infections, which ...

Size and heterozygosity influence partner selection in the Formosan subterranean termite [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2008 In monogamous species that exhibit extensive biparental investment, such as termites, both sexes are predicted to be selective when choosing a mate. Size-related traits are expected to be important in partner selection because the fat reserves of the colony founders sustain the incipient colony.

Effects of m-tyrosine on feeding and survival of formosan subterranean termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2008 Amino acids are important to all animal life. Termites rely mainly on microorganisms to retrieve these nitrogen sources from their food. One naturally occurring amino acid, m-tyrosine, has been reported to be toxic to bacteria and weeds.

Minimizing moving distance in deposition behavior of the subterranean termite
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Subterranean termite nests are located underground and termites forage out by constructing tunnels to reach food resources, and tunneling behavior is critical in order to maximize the foraging efficiency.
