Termite mounds mitigate half of termite methane emissions [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Termites are important decomposers of plant material in tropical ecosystems, and thereby produce globally significant amounts of the greenhouse gas CH 4 . Here, we provide a mechanistic understanding of CH 4 turnover in termite mounds to fill a long-standing knowledge ...

Vibrational signatures and mimicry in ant-termite and termite-termite interactions
Abstract Eusocial insects fascinate researchers with their sophisticated communication systems and sensory specialisations. Ants and termites have coexisted in a long-standing predator–prey arms race, offering insight into the interplay between ecology and evolution.Sebastian Oberst +2 more

Semiochemicals of Termite Origin
2005The behavior of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, is directed by a no. of chems. produced by members of various castes in the colony. We have investigated the semiochems. produced by termites that are assocd. with behaviors such as species recognition (cuticular hydrocarbons), trail following (3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol), and ...

The Topological Fortress of Termites
2008Termites are known for building some of the most elaborate architectures observed in the animal world. We here analyse some topological properties of three dimensional networks of galleries built by termites of the genus Cubitermes . These networks are extremely sparse, in spite of the fact that there is no building cost associated with higher ...

Intracellular Symbiosis in Termites
2000Intracellular symbioses are widespread in insects. Symbiotic microorganisms can reside in either specialised or normal host cells. While those in specialised cells (mycetocytes) have been referred to as mycetocyte endosymbionts, those in normal cells have sometimes been indicated as guest microorganisms. The former are usually regarded as beneficial to

Scientific American, 2018
The article, adapted from the book "Underbug: An Obsessive Tale of Termites and Technology," by Lisa Margonelli, discusses the impacts of termite populations on plant patterns. Topics include the impacts of termite mounds on soil quality, the similarity of vegetation patterns in Africa to leopard spot patterns, and the impact of termites on drought ...
