Top-down network analysis characterizes hidden termite–termite interactions [PDF]

, 2016
The analysis of ecological networks is generally bottom-up, where networks are established by observing interactions between individuals. Emergent network properties have been indicated to reflect the dominant mode of interactions in communities that ...

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Amitermes rhizophagus Belyaeva, 1974 – a new genus and species of termites (Blattodea: Termitidae) in the fauna of Uzbekistan

Acta Biologica Sibirica
Turkmenistan is considered to be the habitat of termites of the genus Amitermes Silvestri, 1901 in the CIS countries. In Uzbekistan, as it turned out, they are very rare and were found for the first time for the fauna of the republic in 2024 in the south

Roles of oxalate-degrading bacteria in fungus-growing termite nests [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Fungus-growing termite (FGT) nests possess an oxalate pool derived from termite input and fungal oxalogenesis. The effect of oxalate biotransformation in the termite nest on the symbiotic association between FGTs and Termitomyces fungi is poorly ...

Termite-Hill [PDF]

International Journal of Swarm Intelligence Research, 2012
Termites present a good natural metaphor to evolutionary computation. While each individual’s computational power is small compared to more evolved species, it is the power of their colonies that inspires communication engineers. This paper presents a study of artificial termites in sensor networks for the purpose of solving its’ routing problem.

Bioerosion traces in bones reveal an increase in ethological diversity in the insect exploitation of carcasses in the late Triassic

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents the first detailed description of bioerosion traces produced by insects in bones from the Santa Cruz Sequence (early Carnian, Santa Maria Supersequence, Brazil). An array of traces is reported, consisting of notches, a tube, trails of grooves attributed to the ichnotaxon Osteocallis mandibulus and ornamented depressions ...
