Resistance of termite mounds to variation in long-term fire regimes across semi-arid African savannas.

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2022
1. Fire regimes are expected to change with climate change, resulting in a crucial need to understand the specific ways in which variable fire regimes impact important contributors to ecosystem functioning, such as mound-building termites. Termite mounds

Decay and termite resistance of plywood treated with various fire retardants

Building and Environment, 2007
This study evaluated the ability of white and brown rot fungi and termites to decompose fire retardant-treated (FRT) or untreated-plywood by measuring mass loss. Plywood was manufactured using Ekaba (Tetraberlinia bifoliolata Harms.) veneers which were previously treated with either boric acid, borax, mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP), or di-ammonium ...

Ecology, Behavior and Evolution of Disease Resistance in Termites

2010
The nesting and feeding habits of termites create the risk of contact with microbial and invertebrate pathogens and parasites. Additionally, termite life history can result in cyclical decreases in nestmate genetic heterogeneity, increasing susceptibility to parasites, and sociality may elevate transmission rates of infection within colonies.

Blockboard with boron-treated veneers: laboratory decay and termite resistance tests

International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 2005
This study is evaluated by measuring the weight loss, and the ability of white- and brown-rot fungi and termites to attack untreated and boron-treated blockboard manufactured using untreated fir (Abies bornmulleriana M.) strips sandwiched between Ekaba (Tetraberlinia bifoliolata Harms.) veneers at final assembly.

THE PERSISTENCE AND TERMITE RESISTANCE OF CREOSOTE AND ITS CONSTITUENT FRACTIONS

Journal of the South African Forestry Association, 1944
AT risk of entering, as comparative laymen, into a controversy which has been waged for many years by workers who have specialised in the subject, we present the results of a few tests on the persistence of creosote and its constituent fractions, carried out at the Forest Products Institute, Pretoria.
