IPM for Drywood Termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae)1
The foundation of IPM for drywood termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) has academic and industry origins some extending back several decades. Regardless of the origin, the underlying philosophy of IPM for drywood termites is consistent and includes correct identification of the pest, monitoring its activity, and use of a variety of treatment methods ...

A Novel Lineage of Endosymbiotic Actinomycetales: Genome Reduction and Acquisition of New Functions in Bifidobacteriaceae Associated With Termite Gut Flagellates. [PDF]
We have characterised several novel genera of Bifidobacteriaceae that colonise the cytoplasm of cellulolytic flagellates. Horizontal gene transfer played an important role in their adaptation to the intracellular environment. However, progressive genome erosion led to the loss of biosynthetic capacities that formed the basis of an originally ...

Rugitermesursulae (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae), a new drywood termite from the Caribbean coast of Colombia. [PDF]
Rugitermes ursulaesp. nov. is described from a sample collected inside a dead branch in a tropical dry forest of Colombia’s Caribbean coast using molecular information and external morphological characters of the imago and soldier castes. Rugitermes ursulaesp. nov. soldiers and imagoes are the smallest among all described Rugitermes species.
