Invasive termites in a changing climate: A global perspective. [PDF]
, 2017 Termites are ubiquitous insects in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions and play an important role in ecosystems. Several termite species are also significant economic pests, mainly in urban areas where they attack human-made structures, but

Toxicity of Thiamethoxam Against Philippine Subterranean Termites [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2007 Thiamethoxam (ACTARA 25WG) was evaluated for its termiticidal properties against three species of economically important subterranean termites (Isoptera: Termitidae) in the Philippines: Nasutitermes luzonicus Oshima, Macrotermes gilvus Hagen, and Microcerotermes losbanosensis Oshima.

Resistance of Insecticide-Treated Foam Board Insulation Against the Eastern Subterranean Termite and the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2003 Three foam board types, one untreated control, one containing 2,000 ppm disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT), and one containing 1,000 ppm deltamethrin, were exposed to field populations of the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), and the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki.

Morphological, Molecular, and Isotopic Approaches to Termite Ecology: A Mangrove Case Study
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.Termite communities in Caribbean mangroves, though species‐poor, sustain crucial decomposition and nutrient cycling. Their overlapping niches and stochastic assembly highlight termites' resilience and ecological importance in supporting the functioning of these challenging coastal ecosystems.

Overcoming Immune Deficiency with Allogrooming
Insects, 2023 Allogrooming appears to be essential in many social animals for protection from routine exposure to parasites. In social insects, it appears to be critical for the removal of pathogenic propagules from the cuticle before they can start an infectious ...

Molecular Identity of Subterranean Termites
International Journal of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology, 2020 Identification of termites is a challenging task due to variable morphological differences among species and their eusocial behaviour with different caste system. A method for easy and accurate species-level identification at any life stage is required.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Will Subterranean Termites Consume Landscape Mulches?
Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 1999 Subterranean termites live in colonies in the soil in both temperate and tropical regions throughout the world. These termites feed on cellulose and are a major cause of damage to wood in use. Organic tree-based mulches provide many benefits to a landscape, yet recently, questions about whether they could harbor or be a source of food for termite ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.We validated ant‐specific COI metabarcoding primers using in silico, in vitro and in situ analyses, identifying assays that improve ant detection from mock communities, spike‐in tests and soil eDNA. The recommended assays reduce reliance on taxonomic expertise and enable scalable, high‐throughput ant biomonitoring for land‐management applications ...
