Pesticide Treated Sawdust and Early Planting Salvage Maize Yield Through Reduction of Termite Infestation and Damage

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Termites (Isoptera: Termitidae) infestation is a key constraint to maize production in Uganda. This study was conducted to determine the effect of integrating planting time and imidacloprid‐treated wood sawdust in the control of termites. Three experiments were established at Ikulwe Satellite Station in Mayuge in 2017B, 2018A, and 2018B in a randomized

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Insects as Food and Feed Source: A Comprehensive Review on Nutritional Value, Food Safety Concern, Environmental Benefits, Economic Potential, Technological Innovations, Challenges, and Future Prospects

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2591-2646, November 2025.
Edible insects offer a sustainable protein source, requiring fewer resources than traditional livestock. Despite challenges, they have the potential to enhance food security and sustainability for a growing global population. ABSTRACT As the world faces an escalating protein crisis amid climate change, population growth, and resource scarcity, edible ...

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1163-1174, November 2025.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Surviving in a Warming and Fragmented World: Long‐Term Population Dynamics of the Lizard Gonatodes humeralis

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate change presents significant challenges to species survival; however, the long‐term effects on tropical lizard populations remain poorly understood. Previous studies have predicted contrasting outcomes, with some forecasting a high risk of extinction due to rising temperatures, while others suggest greater resilience in tropical ...

Isoptera Brulle 1832

open access: yes, 2023
INFRAORDER ISOPTERA Although the respiratory physiology of termites (especially as it relates to their digestive system) has been studied for decades, micro-CT scans of respiratory architectures have been absent. The tracheal scans of the reproductive caste Reticulatermes flavipes and soldier caster Zootermopsis angusticollis shown here detail the ...

No Morphometric Distinction between the Host Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Silvestri) (Isoptera: Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) and its Obligatory Termitophile Corotoca melantho Schiødte (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)

open access: yesSociobiology, 2015
Different species may live in termite nests, cohabiting in close association with the host colony or occupying nest cavities without direct contact with the host.

Predictions of Future Insect Distributions Under Climate Change

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate change has severe consequences for insects worldwide, many of which play key ecological roles. Despite a large literature predicting insect distribution changes over future climate change, a synthesis of predictions of insect responses to climate change in the literature is still lacking. Location Global.

Foraging signals in the Neotropical termite Nasutitermes corniger: The role of castes and intercolonial perception

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 10, Page 1112-1122, October 2025.
We analyzed the role of foraging signals in an important neotropical nasute termite species, including the effect of various gland and caste origins of foraging signals, the response of groups with distinct caste compositions, and intercolonial perception of these signals.
