Machine learning‐assisted vibrational detection and classification of drywood termite infestations

Approaches in Entomology: Methods, Philosophies, and Ethics, Volume 1, Issue 1, August‐December 2026.
Vibratory recordings combined with machine learning accurately detected drywood termite infestations within wood using a fully non‐destructive sensing approach. Models successfully classified termite presence and infestation intensity (empty, low, high density), achieving over 80% accuracy in both internal and external validation.

Isoptera

, 2017
Isoptera (termites) is a small order of insects containing about 3000 described species. Their origin dates back to the late Jurassic, and the oldest fossil is found in limestone deposits of 130 million years ago (Cretaceous).

Comparison of gut morphology and distribution of trehalase activity in the gut of wood-feeding and fungus-growing termites (Isoptera: Termitidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
Termites are important decomposer due to their ability to digest cellulose and their diverse feeding habits. Trehalase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes trehalose to glucose in insects and has an important biological role.

Biogeography of Bursaphelenchus Species Driven by Climate, Vectors and Hosts: Implications for Forest Pathology Under Climate Change

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

First Record of the Soil-feeding Higher Termites (Isoptera: Termitidae) from Okinawa Island, the Central Ryukyus, Japan

Sociobiology, 2021
Some of termites have been introduced outside their native ranges, and it has been suggested that both wood-eating and wood-nesting lifestyles are critical for the transportation of propagules.

Scheffrahnitermes ubuntu (Isoptera: Apicotermitinae), Description of a New Termite Using a Collaborative Approach to Address the Wallacean Shortfall

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.
The study of Neotropical Apicotermitinae remains challenging due to the large number of undescribed taxa (Linnean shortfall) as well as the scarcity of distributional data (Wallacean shortfall). Despite recent efforts to reduce the first one, the second remains an even more significant challenge.
