Chemical defense secretions of some species of Malaysian rhinotermitidae (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990
The defense secretions of the soldiers of the Malaysian rhinotermitid,Parrhinotermes aequalis (Havilandi) andP. pygmaeus (John),Termitogeton planus (Havilandi) andSchedorhinotermes malaccensis (Holmgren) consist mainly of vinyl ketones, whereas that ofProrhinotermes flavus (Bugnion & Popoff) gives (E)-1-nitropentadecene.

Molecular phylogeny of the Rhinotermitidae

Insectes Sociaux, 2004
Relationships among genera in the termite family Rhinotermitidae and their relationship to the families Termitidae and Serritermitidae were investigated based on analysis of three mitochondrial genes: COI, COII and 16S rDNA. Maximum Parsimony (MP) bootstrap analysis of each of these genes indicated a low level of phylogenetic incongruence between them,

Trail-following behavior ofReticulitermes hesperus Banks (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1988
The behavior ofReticulitermes hesperus Banks pseudergates (workers) was assessed on artificial trails containing different concentrations of sternal gland extract. On nongiadient trails, more pseudergates were recruited to trails of greater pheromone concentration, they traveled a greater distance without pausing, and their rate of locomotion increased

Chemical alarm in the termite Termitogeton planus (Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2014
Effective defense is a common characteristic of insect societies. Indeed, the occurrence of specialized defenders, soldiers, has been the first step toward eusociality in several independent lineages, including termites. Among the multitude of defensive strategies used by termite soldiers, defense by chemicals plays a crucial role.

Water Transport byCoptotermes formosanus(Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Environmental Entomology, 2014
Subterranean termites are extremely vulnerable to desiccation, and high moisture makes their habitat and food favorable for survival and colony growth. Although there is a general perception that termites can manipulate moisture, documentation is surprisingly scanty with regard to how termites transport water and the factors that impact it.

Termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae, Termitidae) of Ecuador

Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.), 2009
Abstract Termites are an abundant and diverse group in the Neotropics with about 500 species representing 83 genera. The paucity of the termite fauna recorded from Ecuador is due, in part, to a lack of deliberate surveys. We revise the termite fauna of Ecuador and raise the number of species from 25 species to 72 based on our recent termite surveys. Of

Termiticidal activity of boron dusts (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, 1990
AbstractMortality of Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) workers was evaluated 1, 2, 4, and 8 days after exposure to boron dusts. Mortality was most rapid after exposure to barium metaborate (Busan 11‐M1), followed by boric acid. Exposure to either of these two dusts resulted in 100 % mortality within 8 days.
