Survivorship, tunneling and feeding behaviors of Formosan subterranean termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in response to trans-caryophyllene [PDF]

, 2009
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, an invasive species from southern China, is one of the most destructive wood pests in the United States. Presently, termites are managed through chemical control.

Newcomers and Old Friends: Long‐Distance and Bridgehead Introductions Both Contribute to the Recent Invasion of the Little Fire Ant in Southern Europe

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biological invasions result from the combination of (i) population dispersal opportunities and (ii) adaptations to the recipient environment. Identifying complex migration histories, made of long‐distance dispersal from the native range and secondary introductions, or genetic patterns indicative of adaptation is crucial to build coherent ...

Aspects of Searching and Tunneling Behavior in Resource Utilization by the Formosan Subterranean Termite, Coptotermes Formosanus Shiraki. [PDF]

, 1998
Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), were acclimated with different masses of pine or no wood (control) and then allowed access to a thin sand filled tunneling chamber.

Performance of Altriset (TM) (Chlorantraniliprole) Termiticide Against Formosan Subterranean Termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, in Laboratory Feeding Cessation and Collateral Transfer Trials, and Field Applications

Sociobiology, 2015
Chlorantraniliprole represents the first compound to be registered as a termiticide by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in over a decade. This novel termiticide is currently registered as a 'reduced-risk pesticide' by the EPA.

Molting Site Fidelity in Workers of Formosan Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2017
Spatial assessment of molting in workers of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki was conducted in laboratory-reared colonies using extended foraging arenas. Workers at a premolt stage were found concentrated in the nest or in a planar arena near the nest. However, molting individuals were found exclusively in the central nest and they stayed inside or near ...

Resistance of Insecticide-Treated Foam Board Insulation Against the Eastern Subterranean Termite and the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2003
Three foam board types, one untreated control, one containing 2,000 ppm disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT), and one containing 1,000 ppm deltamethrin, were exposed to field populations of the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), and the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki.

Identifying habitat modification by Chinese pangolin in subtropical forests of southern China

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 361-375, March 2025.
In this study, we identified the critical role of Chinese pangolin in altering habitat heterogeneity, by quantifying habitat subsurface space and surface bare patches increased by pangolin burrows. We thus suggested that pangolins may profoundly affect vegetation renewal and animal distribution in forest ecosystems.

Metabarcoding advances agricultural invertebrate biomonitoring by enhancing resolution, increasing throughput and facilitating network inference

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 50-66, February 2025.
Abstract Biomonitoring of agriculturally important insects is increasingly vital given our need to understand: (a) the severity of impacts by pests and pathogens on crop yield and health and (b) the impact of environmental change and land management on insects, in line with sustainable development and global conservation targets.

Effects of sand moisture level on food consumption and distribution of formosan subterranean termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) with different soldier proportions

, 2011
Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus ShiraKi, were tested under laboratory conditions to determine preferences among different sand moisture levels in a choice test.
