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

Comparison of the gut microbiota from soldier and worker castes of the termite Reticulitermes grassei [PDF]

, 2014
The bacterial microbiota from the whole gut of soldier and worker castes of the termite Reticulitermes grassei was isolated and studied. In addition, the 16S rDNA bacterial genes from gut DNA were PCR-amplified using Bacteria-selective primers, and the ...

Biogeographical Variation in Termite Distributions Alters Global Deadwood Decay

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Aim Termites are a crucial group of macroinvertebrates regulating rates of deadwood decomposition across tropical and subtropical regions. When examining global patterns of deadwood decay, termites are treated as a homogenous group. There exist key biogeographical differences in termite distribution.

Synergism of entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae incorporated with fipronil against oil palm pest subterranean termite, Coptotermes curvignathus

Plant Protection Science, 2016
The compatibility and synergy in efficacy of the termiticide fipronil with a biocontrol agent Metarhizium anisopliae, alone or in combination, against the subterranean termite, Coptotermes curvignathus were investigated.

The role of changing landscape in the dispersal of a soil‐feeding termite in Suriname and French Guiana

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 953-967, November 2024.
We investigated Embiratermes neotenicus dispersal in Suriname and French Guiana, by studying genetic diversity, structure and factors influencing population differentiation. We used mitochondrial and nuclear data from 70 colonies. Significant genetic differentiation between populations was observed.

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

The complete mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes labralis and implications for Rhinotermitidae taxonomy [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 2016
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Reticulitermes labralis was analyzed. This mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 15,914 bp in length and has the same gene content and organization as that found in other Reticulitermes species. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs (12S and 16S rRNA) and

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.
