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

A new insect boring in fossil wood from the Iranian Upper Cretaceous

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Here we describe Iranichnus farsensis igen. et isp. nov., a bioerosion trace in fossil wood characterized by a system of sinuous channels in the wood under the bark, also bearing small borings radially oriented within the channels. We attributed this to insects, most probably a beetle from one of the groups known to feed on wood just under the

Body Size and Symmetry Properties of Termite Soldiers Under Two Intraspecific Competition Scenarios

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Single-piece nesting termites live and forage in the same piece of wood throughout their life, which limit their colony size. In certain species, more than one colony thrive in a given piece of wood (multicolonial substrate) and intraspecific competition

Body size and evolutionary rate analyses reveal complex evolutionary history of Alvarezsauria

Cladistics, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 135-155, February 2025.
Abstract Some of the smallest examples of dinosaurian body size are from alvarezsaurians, an enigmatic group of maniraptoran coelurosaurians with a peculiar combination of anatomical features unique among theropods. Despite the large number of alvarezsaurian species described worldwide and the increased understanding this has provided, the body‐size ...

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 ...
