Comparative Expression Analysis of Olfactory Receptor Genes Among Individuals With Soldier and Worker Caste Differentiation Fates in Termites. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated the role of chemosensory gene expression in caste differentiation of the damp‐wood termite Zootermopsis nevadensis. Gene expression analyses revealed that third‐instar larvae destined to become workers exhibited significantly higher expression of key olfactory receptor genes in their antennae, suggesting that differences in chemosensory

Jurnal Ilmu Pertanian Indonesia, 2023 The subterranean termite Coptotermes curvignathus is a type of insect that damages wood until it is porous and destroyed. Until now, termites are chemically controlled but negatively impact the environment, so bioinsecticides such as from Usnea barbata ...

Termite Vibration Sensing: The Chordotonal Organs and Their Appendages. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigates how termites use their legs and antennae as vibration‐sensitive sensory organs, comparing them to ants, their eusocial predators. Termite appendages are morphologically adapted to detect lower‐frequency, wood‐borne vibrations, enhancing their foraging and predator avoidance abilities. These findings suggest that termite legs may

Termite Distribution in Michigan [PDF]
, 2017 Subterranean termites have been present in Michigan for a long time. They were reported as being destructive to buildings in 1920 (Anonymous, 1961), and apparently damage done at that time was increasing over what had occurred earlier.

Subterranean Termites (Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2019 Phylogeny and classification The worldwide family Rhinotermitidae, or subterranean termites, comprises 15 genera and more than 300 species. They occupy an intermediate position between the so-called "lower" and "higher" termites and so are often referred to as "intermediate" termites (1).

Termite nests as an abundant source of cultivable actinobacteria for biotechnological purposes [PDF]
, 2014 A total of 118 actinobacterial isolates were collected from the three types of termite nests (mound, carton, and subterranean nests) to evaluate their potential as a source of bioactive actinobacteria with antimicrobial activity.

The impact of conventional and organic farming on soil biodiversity conservation: a case study on termites in the long-term farming systems comparison trials in Kenya [PDF]
, 2020 A long-term experiment at two trial sites in Kenya has been on-going since 2007 to assess the effect of organic and conventional farming systems on productivity, profitability and sustainability. During these trials the presence of significant numbers of

First Record of the Arid-Land Termite, \u3ci\u3eReticulitermes Tibialis\u3c/i\u3e Banks, in Wisconsin [PDF]
, 2018 During a survey of termites in Wisconsin, one colony was found from a different habitat than the remaining populations. This observation led to further genetic testing which resulted in a determination of Reticulitermes tibialis Banks.

Large-Scale Production of Fungal Bait Blocks for the Attraction of Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
, 2017 It has been shown that wood infected with the brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum (Pers. ex Fr.) Murr. is\u27more attractive to termites than sound wood.
