Termite resistance of DMDHEU-treated wood [PDF]
Wood Science and Technology, 2010 Four field trials were conducted with wood modified with dimethyloldihydroxy-ethyleneurea (DMDHEU) in contact with subterranean termites. Trials 1 to 3 were conducted with Coptotermes acinaciformis (Froggatt); 1 and 2 in south-east Queensland, and 3 in northern Queensland, Australia.

Termites promote resistance of decomposition to spatiotemporal variability in rainfall [PDF]
Ecology, 2017 AbstractThe ecological impact of rapid environmental change will depend on the resistance of key ecosystems processes, which may be promoted by species that exert strong control over local environmental conditions. Recent theoretical work suggests that macrodetritivores increase the resistance of African savanna ecosystems to changing climatic ...

Decay and termite resistance of phthaloylated wood
Wood Preservation, 2008 スギ辺材を無水フタル酸で化学修飾することによって得られたフタル化木材の耐朽性と耐蟻性を, アセチル化木材と比較しながら評価した。褐色腐朽菌オオウズラタケと白色腐朽菌カワラタケによる腐朽試験の結果, フタル化木材は, アセチル化木材よりも軽度な置換基導入で, 高い耐朽性を示すことが明らかとなり, その効果は特にオオウズラタケに対して顕著であった。このような高い耐朽性を付与するのに必要な置換基の分子構造の特徴を調べるために, フタル基と類似の構造を有する化学修飾木材を調製し, それらの耐朽性を調べた。その結果, 無水トリメリト酸がフタル化に匹敵する高い耐朽性を付与したのに対して, 無水安息香酸やcis-1, 2-シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸無水物では, 顕著な耐朽性が得られることはなく ...

Bacteriophages in the Rhizosphere: Roles in Nutrient Cycling, Bacterial Community Structure, and Animal-Mediated Dispersal. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenThis review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

Termites Are Resistant to the Effects of Fire at Multiple Spatial Scales
PLOS ONE, 2015 Termites play an important ecological role in many ecosystems, particularly in nutrient-poor arid and semi-arid environments. We examined the distribution and occurrence of termites in the fire-prone, semi-arid mallee region of south-eastern Australia.

Tropical wood resistance to the West Indian drywood termite
Pest Management Science, 2017 AbstractBACKGROUNDThe importance and impact of invasive species are usually considered based on their economic implications, particularly the direct damage that they cause. The West Indian drywood termite Cryptotermes brevis (Walker) is an example and is a concern in structural lumber, furniture, and other wood products.
