A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

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 ...

Genomics‐Based Approaches to Ant Monitoring in Land Management: Validation of COI Metabarcoding Primers

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 ...

Aggregation and Feeding Behavior of the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) on Wood Decayed by Three Species of Wood Rot Fungi

Sociobiology, 2014
Aggregation and feeding behavior of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, was evaluated on wood decayed by three species of fungus, the brown rot fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum and two white rot fungi, Phanerochaete ...

African Decolonial Theory: A Conversation

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Antipode has become a key platform for engaging with decolonial and anticolonial scholarship, as well as adjacent fields such as Black geographies, Indigenous studies, Latin American feminism, and work on settler‐colonialism. African reference points in this literature, however, have been far less common, both in the journal and more broadly ...

Control of drywood termites: Infestation or reinfestation after eradication prevented by treatment with inert dusts nontoxic to humans or animals

California Agriculture, 1959
Drywood termites–about as important in southern California as subterranean termites–have spread north to the San Francisco Bay region and Sacramento.

Interaction of soil characteristics with subterranean termite diversity in pine and rosewood stands in Alas Bromo, Central Java, Indonesia [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The diversity of subterranean termites in forest ecosystems plays an important role as eco-engineers, contributing to the decomposition of organic matter and providing benefits to the forest ecosystem.

Isolation and Characterization of Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers for Two Subterranean Termites

Sociobiology, 2017
We isolated 15 and 18 highly polymorphic genomic microsatellite markers from two subterranean termites, Reticulitermes aculabialis and R. labralis, respectively. A total of 53 alleles were detected in 15 microsatellite loci of R.

Effects of Aqueous and Powder Formulations of N’N-napthaloylhydroxyamine on Feeding and Mortality of Laboratory Groups of Microcerotermes diversus Silvestri (Isoptera: Termitidae)

Majallah-i ḥifāẓat-i giyāhān, 2016
Introduction: Microcerotermes diversus Silvestri is considered the most economically destructive pest of wood products in Khuzestan, Iran. This species lives in subterranean nests and gains access to buildings and vegetation by constructing underground ...
