Commodity risk assessment of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride from the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to deliver a risk assessment on the likelihood of pest freedom from regulated EU quarantine pests, with emphasis on Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and its vectors Monochamus spp. of debarked conifer wood chips fumigated with sulfuryl fluoride as proposed by the United States (US) and

Investigation of heat transfer in timber boards and a simulated wall section to eliminate colonies of the west Indian drywood termite, Cryptotermes brevis (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 425-433, November 2024.
Abstract Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) (Blattodea: Kalotermitidae) is one of the most destructive drywood termites that attack moisture‐protected timber in service. Heat treatment has been studied to control these termites, but the low thermal conductivity of wood can result in prolonged treatment times and the need for high temperatures to eliminate ...

Seasonal and Daily Patterns in Activity of the Western Drywood Termite, Incisitermes minor (Hagen)

Insects, 2011
Activity of colonies of the western drywood termite, Incisitermes minor, was measured with acoustic emission (AE) technology in five loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) logs. Termite activity, whether it was feeding, excavation or movement, was monitored for 11

Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies

Population Ecology, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 219-231, October 2024.
The evolution of obligate asexuality is thought to be prevented in animals whose males play crucial roles beyond the contribution of gametes. While obligate asexuality had not until recently been observed in termites whose colonies commonly comprise both male and female reproductives, workers, and soldiers, all‐female asexual populations of the termite

Chemical and transcriptomic diversity do not correlate with ascending levels of social complexity in the insect order Blattodea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
We assessed the long‐standing hypothesis that chemical profile complexity increases with levels of sociality in the insect order Blattodea investigating solitary as well as eusocial species. Strikingly, we could not confirm any consistent correlative patterns between chemical, transcriptomic, and social complexity.

Conserved orthology in termite chemosensory gene families

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Termites are eusocial insects known to use a variety of pheromones in tasks necessary for maintenance of their societies. As such, olfaction and pheromone communication in termites has been an object of intense study; trail-following pheromones (TFPs ...

Updated classification of the phylum Parabasalia

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract The phylum Parabasalia includes very diverse single‐cell organisms that nevertheless share a distinctive set of morphological traits. Most are harmless or beneficial gut symbionts of animals, but some have turned into parasites in other body compartments, the most notorious example being Trichomonas vaginalis in humans.

Global contribution of invertebrates to forest litter decomposition

Ecology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2024.
Invertebrates play important roles in litter decomposition, but the regional pattern of their effects is poorly understood. We found that invertebrate contributions to litter decomposition are 1.4 times higher in tropical and subtropical forests than forests elsewhere, with an overall contribution of 31% to global forest litter decomposition.
