Biology of subterranean termites: Insights from molecular studies of reticulitermes and coptotermes

, 2009
Molecular genetic techniques have made contributions to studies on subterranean termites at all levels of biological organization. Most of this work has focused on Reticulitermes and Coptotermes, two ecologically and economically important genera.

Effect of biofertilizers and diatomaceous earth on life and movement of subterranean termites under laboratory conditions

, 2018
The presence of biofertilizers can affect the life and movement of subterranean organisms in the soil. In the current study, the effect of three biofertilizers (Unigrow, Rhizogold and Rhizogold Plus) alone and in combination with diatomaceous earth (DE ...

The influence of subterranean termites on the hydrological characteristics of a Chihuahuan desert ecosystem

, 1986
Rainfall simulation at an average intensity of 124 mm·h-1 was used to compare infiltration and run off on arid areas where subterranean termites had been eliminated four years prior to the initiation of the study (termite free) with adjacent areas ...
