Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Miombo woodland termite mounds: resource islands for small vertebrates? [PDF]
, 2003 Macrotermes mounds are a significant feature of African woodland landscape, contributing to habitat heterogeneity. The mounds are massive, often many centuries old, and support dense vegetation and a suite of woody plant species scarce in surrounding ...

Resistance of Wood Plastic Composites Having Silica Filler to Subterranean Termite
Journal of the Korean Wood Science and TechnologyRubberwood ( Hevea brasiliensis ) has excellent physical and mechanical properties and is one of the most widely used species in Southeast Asia. However, it has poor resistance to subterranean termite attacks due to its high sugar and starch contents ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

Extended disease resistance emerging from the faecal nest of a subterranean termite [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Social insects nesting in soil environments are in constant contact with entomopathogens but have evolved a range of defence mechanisms, resulting in both individual and social immunity that reduce the chance for epizootics in the colony, as in the case of subterranean termites.

Form, function, and evolution of worker–worker social carrying in ants
Insect Science, EarlyView.Social carrying is a widespread ant recruitment behavior in which one worker physically transports another, usually during nest relocation. Across 62 species, phylogenetic analyses suggest that it originated as a stereotypical, coordinated behavior, with carrying posture largely conserved within subfamilies. Its occurrence across colony sizes indicates
