Ravenous Formosan subterranean termites persist in California [PDF]
California Agriculture, 1998 The first reported case of a non-native termite species being introduced and established in California was the Formosan subterranean termite, which was discovered in San Diego County in 1992. Because this termite can exact tremendous damage within a relatively short time, the affected area was defined and an attempt was made to eradicate it.

Optimization of the bi-oleothermal treatment process for wood preservation and fireproofing [PDF]
, 2011 The bi-oleothermal© process (combination of oil and heat treatment) is a well mastered alternative method for wood protection. However, the fire behavior and resistance to decay of bi-oleothermally treated wood are not good enough to ensure performance ...

Multifunctional queen pheromone and maintenance of reproductive harmony in termite colonies. [PDF]
, 2012 Pheromones are likely involved in all social activities of social insects including foraging, sexual behavior, defense, nestmate recognition, and caste regulation. Regulation of the number of fertile queens requires communication between reproductive and

Ant Diversity and Stratification in an Amazonian Rainforest
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.We examined the three strata of an Amazonian rainforest (e.g., the ground and leaf litter, understory and canopy) using only two sampling techniques and analyzed their functional traits. We identified 494 ant species from 10 subfamilies and 77 genera over ≈3.0 ha, showing that they are species rich and abundant, particularly at ground level.

Amazonian fish migration as a social–cultural–ecological process
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 3297-3312, December 2025.Abstract In this study, we highlight the rich perspectives and explanations of fish migration held by Indigenous groups across the Amazon. We present the aspects of Indigenous cosmological stories, drawing from our exploratory review of cultural ethnographies and grey literature, as well as the authors' own experiences. We ask, how do Amazonian peoples

The Use of Ecoacoustics to Monitor Soil Ecology: A Critical Review With Reference to Earthworms
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 76, Issue 6, November–December 2025.ABSTRACT The use of ecoacoustics to monitor soil ecology was identified as a priority in the 2024 horizon scan of global biological conservation issues. Proponents suggest it will have societal impacts by improving soil health assessments, enhance soil biodiversity monitoring and facilitate the conservation, remediation and management of soil ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 22, November 2025.ABSTRACT Eusociality in insects has arisen multiple times independently in Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants), Blattodea (termites) and Coleoptera (beetles). In Hymenoptera and Blattodea, the evolution of eusociality led to species proliferation. In the hyperdiverse Coleoptera, obligate eusociality evolved only once, in the ancient Australian ambrosia ...
