A Constraint Condition for Foraging Strategy in Subterranean Termites [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2010 Previous studies have explored the relationship between termite branch tunnel geometry and foraging efficiency in a model simulation in which foraging efficiency, γ, for two termite species, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), was investigated in response to two variables, the probability of ...

A Reproductives Excluder for Subterranean Termites in Laboratory Experiments [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2019 Abstract As a social insect, termites have different castes and division of labor in a colony. Investigating the social behavior of subterranean termites is a challenge due to the cryptic nature and large colony size. Planar arenas are commonly used to study these termites under laboratory conditions, and have provided several advantages.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Termites are eusocial insects that maintain cohesion and exchange information through frequent physical interactions among nestmates. This social organisation underlies the principle of horizontal insecticide transfer, which is widely exploited as a termite control strategy.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.Small mammals in hot climates depend on shelter to survive high daytime temperatures. We show that rufous bettongs construct grass nests that cut daytime temperature extremes by more than 20°C, and that this buffering holds wherever they build, including in the open.

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT Fireflies are semelparous beetles whose immature stages are largely unknown. The comparatively few larvae known span diverse ecological niches, such as ground‐dwellers, aquatic (freshwater or marine), semi‐aquatic and arboreal. Psilocladus costae Vaz, Silveira & Rosa, 2020—a bromeliad dweller—is the only species of its genus and subfamily in ...
