Detection of mitochondrial COII DNA sequences in ant guts as a method for assessing termite predation by ants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Termites and ants contribute more to animal biomass in tropical rain forests than any other single group and perform vital ecosystem functions. Although ants prey on termites, at the community level the linkage between these groups is poorly understood ...

L\'evy flights and self-similar exploratory behaviour of termite workers: beyond model fitting [PDF]
, 2014 Animal movements have been related to optimal foraging strategies where self-similar trajectories are central. Most of the experimental studies done so far have focused mainly on fitting statistical models to data in order to test for movement patterns ...

Behavioural Processes, 2023 Abstract It is generally believed that termites can’t learn and are not “intelligent”. This study aimed to test whether termites could have any form of memory. A Y-shaped test device with one release chamber and two identical test chambers was designed and constructed by 3D printing.

The coupling effects of pyrodiversity and land use on termite assemblages in semi-arid savanna
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Despite the importance of termites in the structure and function of savanna ecosystems, long-term studies that examine the effects of several disturbance factors on termite communities are limited constraining our understanding of determinants of termite

Termite nests as an abundant source of cultivable actinobacteria for biotechnological purposes [PDF]
, 2014 A total of 118 actinobacterial isolates were collected from the three types of termite nests (mound, carton, and subterranean nests) to evaluate their potential as a source of bioactive actinobacteria with antimicrobial activity.

First Record of the Arid-Land Termite, \u3ci\u3eReticulitermes Tibialis\u3c/i\u3e Banks, in Wisconsin [PDF]
, 2018 During a survey of termites in Wisconsin, one colony was found from a different habitat than the remaining populations. This observation led to further genetic testing which resulted in a determination of Reticulitermes tibialis Banks.
