Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 All termites secrete trail pheromones from their sternal gland, whereas ants use a variety of glands for this purpose. This and the diversity of chemical compounds that serve as trail pheromones among ants, and the uniformity of chemicals among termite trails, suggest a different evolutionary historical dynamics for the development of chemical mass ...

Establishment ofNasutitermes corniger(Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) on Abaco Island, The Bahamas [PDF]
Florida Entomologist, 2016 Summary Ten years after its discovery, a survey of the exotic termite Nasutitermes corniger (Motschulsky) (Isoptera: Termitidae) on Abaco Island, The Bahamas, revealed an infested area of about 40 ha. The age and spread of the Abaco infestation is remarkably similar to the introduced N. corniger population in Dania Beach, Florida.
