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.

Comparison of Temperature-Dependent Survivorship and Wood-Consumption Rate Among Two Invasive Subterranean Termite Species (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae: Coptotermes) and Their Hybrids

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2018
Two invasive subterranean termite species, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi Wasmann (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae), established in South Florida have the potential to hybridize owing to their sympatric distribution, overlapping ...

Fused Colonies of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) for Laboratory Experiments

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2019
Laboratory studies of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) often employ the use of field-collected foraging populations of individuals as defined colonies.

Molecular Relationships among European Samples of Reticulitermes (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2002
Taxonomy and phyletic relationships of the European termites of the holarctic genus Reticulitermes are highly debated and poorly known. Sequencing analyses of the complete cytochrome oxidase subunit II and of a fragment of 16S rDNA mitochondrial genes were performed on 21 Italian and French populations.

Dispersal Flights of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2015
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is a pest of major economic concern. This termite is particularly known for its tendency to establish populations in nonendemic areas via maritime vessels as well as human-aided transport of infested materials. The natural spread of this species after new introductions occurs in part by

L'arme frontale des soldats de termites. I. Rhinotermitidae

Insectes Sociaux, 1975
La glande frontale des termites est une glande tegumentaire impaire. Chez les soldats de Rhinotermitidae, elle forme une profonde invagination qui s'ouvre a l'avant de la tete par le pore frontal ou fontanelle. Cette glande est bien developpee et s'etend generalement jusqu'a l'arriere du corps de l'insecte.
