Subterranean Termite Detection Using the Spectral Kurtosis
2007 4th IEEE Workshop on Intelligent Data Acquisition and Advanced Computing Systems: Technology and Applications, 2007This paper deals with termite detection in noisy media using higher-order statistics. The results could be extrapolated to all impulse-like insect emissions. The spectral kurtosis reveals non-Gaussian characteristics (the peakedness of the probability density function) associated to these non-stationary measurements, specially in the near ultrasound ...

Dispersal Flights of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2015The 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

Hermetically Sealed Baits for Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2007Cellulose baits containing 0.5% hexaflumuron were hermetically sealed in a closed cell polyethylene sheet envelope and placed in soil to test their durability and efficacy against field colonies of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, or the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar).

Resource competition between two fungal parasites in subterranean termites
Naturwissenschaften, 2012Subterranean termites live in large groups in underground nests where the pathogenic pressure of the soil environment has led to the evolution of a complex interaction among individual and social immune mechanisms in the colonies. However, groups of termites under stress can show increased susceptibility to opportunistic parasites.

Coptotermes formosanus (Formosan subterranean termite).
2021Abstract C. formosanus is often transported by boats and shipping containers to port cities before being carried further inland via landscape materials such as railroad ties (railway sleepers). This may explain the current C. formosanus distribution in the USA with coastal areas more densely infested than inland areas (Hochmair and ...

Development of Baits for Population Management of Subterranean Termites
Annual Review of Entomology, 2019The objective of bait application envisioned by early researchers was to eliminate the source of infestation, the colony, but because of the lack of adequate evaluation tools, results of field trials with mirex baits in the 1960s were mostly inconclusive.
